If SIPVicious gives you a ring…

Note: SIPVicious version 0.28 is out, go get it. I like to keep an eye on the social media and Google alerts for SIPVicious and in the last few months I noticed a rise in mentions of the tools. Specifically, a number of Korean twitter users (who have their service with KT, a VoIP service provider) complaining about receiving a call from a caller-id showing ‘SIPVicious’. After contacting a Korean friend, this led to an interview by a reporter for an article that was published on a Korean tech news site Boan News.…

Asterisk forensics: the logs vs the attackers

Published on Jan 2, 2012 in , , ,

Recently I had the opportunity to present on VoIP insecurity around various conferences this year, on my own and also with Joffrey Czarny. At Secure 2011 we had one day a workshop and one of the things we showed was the effect of a typical SIPVicious attack on an Asterisk box. The following videos (best seen in full screen and high quality) illustrate what happens. When we run svmap.py, nothing usually shows up on the asterisk logs.…

Distributed SIP scanning during Halloween weekend

Published on Nov 4, 2010 in , ,

Over last weekend there were a number of reports of VoIP (especially Asterisk) servers that were “under heavy attack”. I have looked at some packet traces and noticed how the SIP messages look very similar to the ones generated by SIPVicious especially svwar.py. In fact, I think this is a modified version of SIPVicious that is being distributed on a botnet. Take a look at the following message generated by these new scans:…

New tool in the works: TFTPTheft

Published on May 28, 2010 in ,

Most sysadmins just love the idea of switching on a box that just works automatically. In the case of IP phones that is typically possible by setting up the right DHCP config and a TFTP server hosting firmware and configuration. My introduction to TFTP The TFTP protocol typically runs over port 69, and the above image shows a rather insecure doll. The TFTP protocol is rather simple and lightweight: Runs on top of UDP Does not support authentication Only supports pulling and pushing (GET and PUT) of files (no directory listing) New tools?…

VIPER VAST includes SIPVicious

Published on Oct 5, 2009 in ,

A quick post to refer to the live bootable CD from Viperlabs called VIPER VAST. It’s a Linux distribution that includes a good number of tools that can help in a VoIP security assessment. I think I’ll be giving this a try next time around. What makes this useful is if you want to quickly have a machine with all the right libraries, drivers and packages installed to be able to run tools such as UCsniff.…
