| ==== Security Notes with Asterisk ====
 | |
| 
 | |
| PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT SECURITY RELATED INFORMATION.  
 | |
| IMPROPER CONFIGURATION OF ASTERISK COULD ALLOW UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR
 | |
| FACILITIES, POTENTIALLY INCURRING SUBSTANTIAL CHARGES.
 | |
| 
 | |
| First and foremost remember this:
 | |
| 
 | |
| USE THE EXTENSION CONTEXTS TO ISOLATE OUTGOING OR TOLL SERVICES FROM ANY
 | |
| INCOMING CONNECTIONS.
 | |
| 
 | |
| You should consider that if any channel, incoming line, etc can enter an
 | |
| extension context that it has the capability of accessing any extension
 | |
| within that context. 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Therefore, you should NOT allow access to outgoing or toll services in
 | |
| contexts that are accessible (especially without a password) from incoming
 | |
| channels, be they IAX channels, FX or other trunks, or even untrusted
 | |
| stations within you network.  In particular, never ever put outgoing toll
 | |
| services in the "default" context.  To make things easier, you can include
 | |
| the "default" context within other private contexts by using:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	include => default
 | |
| 
 | |
| in the appropriate section.  A well designed PBX might look like this:
 | |
| 
 | |
| [longdistance]
 | |
| exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial,Tor/g2/BYEXTENSION
 | |
| include => local
 | |
| 
 | |
| [local]
 | |
| exten => _9NXXNXXX,1,Dial,Tor/g2/BYEXTENSION
 | |
| include => default
 | |
| 
 | |
| [default]
 | |
| exten => 6123,Dial,Tor/1
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| DON'T FORGET TO TAKE THE DEMO CONTEXT OUT OF YOUR DEFAULT CONTEXT.  There
 | |
| isn't really a security reason, it just will keep people from wanting to 
 | |
| play with your asterisk setup remotely.
