Long term user - now being attacked

1. Brekeke Product Name and Version:
3.0.6.3 Advanced

2. Java version:
1.7.0_05

3. OS type and the version:
Centos 6

4. UA (phone), gateway or other hardware/software involved:
Various, used as SIP registrar for 500 endpoints

5. Your problem:
Been using BSS for a very long time over 16 years. Recently started to get attacked with brute force attempts. Usually lowish levels, EG 4mbps to 9mbps. BSS goes to 100% CPU then stops responding even after attack has stopped. I have tried blocking the attacks at firewall level, but its not quick enough. I have to reboot the server to restore service.
I see BSS 3.2 has a block list? Can I upgrade to 3.2 or must I upgrade to the latest version?

I strongly recommend that you upgrade your Brekeke SIP Server to the latest version.
The version 3.0.6.3 that you are using is very old, which released 12 years ago.

After you installed the latest version, enable the Block List feature.

Thanks Mike, but I guess that means a box rebuild to get a new OS, newer Java and newer tomcat. I was hoping for a quick fix for now until I have the time to rebuild. Can you make available 3.2 please?

The 3.2 is also old (11 years ago) so it is not secure and stable enough in today's Internet.

My recommendation is to set up a new environment first based on the latest OS, java and Brekeke SIP Server first with an evaluation license.
Once you confirm it, transfer the license from the current 3.0.6.3 setup.
