Voice over IP attacks are on the rise because of the proliferation of online tools and software which can target these services.

How secure is your PBX? :-o

Research shows that 80 percent of attacks take place out of office hours. Attackers know from experience that a VOIP server is most likely not monitored at these times.

Is there a sensible hardening guide for Asterisk (and its variants) around?

I have seen a few casual ditties, but nothing from soup to nuts.

I am sure it would be possible to pull on common knowledge to build something....

Or, I'm being blind as usual!??!!?

Now this is an important alert, our PBX can be hacked and cause an expense. How can we make it safe, what's your suggestion Paul?

Thanks for the update @welshpaul, I was not aware of VoIP attacks. I still new to VoIP, can you help understand the threats of a VoIP attack; what are these attackers looking for?
