I've had really good luck with this:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Fail2Ban+(with+iptables)+And+Asterisk

Basically, it automatically blackhols via IPtables any host that fails a
certain number of registration attempts in a given period.

Of course, the following works well too in SIP.conf

[default]
; Send any unauthenticated calls to the local FBI office
context=local-fbi-office

I've got a honeypot server that pretty much accepts any calls that come
through, and plays a "Thank you for calling the Telecommunications Fraud
hotline. Please stay online for the next available representative." If they
stay online for more than 20 seconds, it connects them to an agent at the
FBI that we have been working with.

I've been meaning to add some code in that pulls out the originating IP
address of the call and tells it to the agent when we call. :)
