Hello,
i have this message, is this some kind of brute force? Installation is new, latest version with Debian 9. This log bugs me, because I didn't see this error before...


Code:
04/17/2021 10:00:54 PM - Malformed SIP request received:
BadSip Recv Req REGISTER from 51.15.146.184:5062 tid=-1056892118 Call-ID=492043356138489514641592:

Hi @Null,

Yes this does look like a SIP scan by sipvicious. It's missing a contact which may be why it's appearing malformed.
 
Ok, thanks @VasilisV_3CX. By looking to this request, do I need to make any changes right now?
 
Hi @Null,

The PBX will automatically block requests sent in rapid succession as apart of its security protocol. If you find the same request coming through periodically, you can blacklist the IP its coming from if it's the same IP address being used.
 
Awesome! Thank you for your help in this case!
