[SR-Users] INVITE messages not authenticated (default configuration)?

Greeting, Hopefully, I'm understanding the following default kamailio.cfg[1] file. Over the weekend, I was attached by SipVicious. Following along with the example Daniel[2] create with kamailio and asterisk, I have almost the same setup. Rather then storing my SIP profiles in Asterisk database, I have then in Kamailio. To my point, the attacker was actually able to by pass any sort of authentication, but simply sending an INIVTE message: ./svmap.py -e 18885551234 kamailio.example.org -m INVITE Which kamailio, forwarded to Asterisk and because there is no additional auth within asterisk, was able to hit the asterisk context for getting processed (they did not get out to the real world). However, my question is.... why do we not authenticate INVITE messages? If my understanding is correct, if would require something like the following: if (is_method("INVITE")) { if (!proxy_authorize("$fd", "subscriber")) { proxy_challenge("$fd", "0"); exit; } } If so, why not also do it in the default configuration file?
