In the case of one unlucky company, this resulted in a phone bill of over $100,000. The wrinkle with this design is that, if a bad guy can guess an extension number on your system and its password, they get a free ticket to do whatever could be done from that extension on your PBX. This is done to facilitate communications with your hosting providers as well as telephone extensions which may be connected to your server from the other side of the globe.

The design of virtually all of the open source Asterisk PBX aggregations is to leave SIP and IAX ports on your new server exposed to the Internet. Security First! Because your phone bill matters, today we begin with security. Trunks (Vitelity, Fonica, Gizmo, ENUM, Remote Peer).SIP URI support (fax, mothership, e164, nv-demo).Hotel-Style Wakeup Calls (FreePBX Module).And here's the complete list with all of your new Nerd Vittles applications: Also included are FreePBX 2.5, and Apache, SendMail, MySQL, PHP, phpMyAdmin, IPtables Linux firewall, Fail2Ban, and WebMin. And, of course, the Flite text-to-speech engine is preconfigured with Cepstral TTS only a few keystrokes away. Delivery of CallerID names with numbers is now available from a half dozen providers of your choice. More than a dozen extensions and a number of hosting provider trunks are preconfigured as well. Faxing and email now work out of the box.
