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 at MyExternalIP] 
from ip 62.210.142.39//
//2014-06-04 13:52:42.789530 [WARNING] sofia_reg.c:1532 SIP auth 
challenge (REGISTER) on sofia profile 'internal' for [341 at MyExternalIP] 
from ip 62.210.142.39//
//2014-06-04 13:52:55.479999 [WARNING] sofia_reg.c:1532 SIP auth 
challenge (REGISTER) on sofia profile 'internal' for [341 at MyExternalIP] 
from ip 62.210.142.39//
//2014-06-04 13:53:08.289660 [WARNING] sofia_reg.c:1532 SIP auth 
challenge (REGISTER) on sofia profile 'internal' for [342 at MyExternalIP] 
from ip 62.210.142.39//
//2014-06-04 13:53:21.679512 [WARNING] sofia_reg.c:1532 SIP auth 
challenge (REGISTER) on sofia profile 'internal' for [342 at 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.
