Agreed! 

One practice that I would highly recommend any one to stay away from is using numeric extension number "1001" as sip username and dictionary based passwords.

btw the problem is always with users/customers that change the demo password "1234" (where there is a delay of 10 seconds put there by this purpose)  to something like "password".

And what I can do about this?

I will put a safeguard against silly passwords, and you will make the effort to circumvent also that safeguard because "is easier for my users"?

NO, the default password of the demo configuration is just that, a DEFAULT password of a DEMO configuration.

That is meant to DEMO just OUT OF THE BOX

So, it must stay this way, because it just works, and is a demo

Then, if you put a demo in production, the problem is between the monitor and the seat, not in the software

Make the default password very obscure ramdomized on the fly... that way people will be crying because they can't figure out a password instead of having noobies hacked :)

Cance default password to uuid(), so every new install will get random one ... Bulletproof :°D

This is exactly what prompted me to put the FOUR LINE CRIT statement when the default password isn't changed along with a 10 second delay before proceeding.  Still I see questions posted about the 10 second delay and asking what it means. Not sure how to make it more clear.

Is nice because they mention FreeSWITCH in the tag of the link, but the link is about FreePBX.

Anyway, it's true: if you do not use the standard security practice, and leave your FreeSWITCH with standard password "1234", or maybe you change the standard password to "password", you probably will be hacked, and phone calls will be originated from your FreeSWITCH that you do not want to originate.

But, man, that's what you, and me, and anyone is expecting.

Also, please do not drive wrong way in the autobahn :))

Thought some may be interested in this. I first saw it today via Apple News… Related to tracing bomb threats and Jewish attacks… FreeSWITCH mentioned twice.
