SipBomber 0.8

By Alexey Gavrilov on September 21, 2006

What is it

SipBomber is sip-protocol testing tool for Linux originally developed by Metalink in 2003 for internal use and released later as GPL open source product.

What’s new in 0.8

Although we knew it was downloaded and used by thousands of developers, we received very little feedback on it and ceased support for this software. The old version (ie 0.7) can be found here. After the launch of this new website I found by looking into server log files that many people still want to download it. Therefore here it is again. The version is 0.8 and now it compiles fine with the latest gcc (tested with Fedora Core 4). If you managed to build 0.7 yourself you don’t need to download 0.8! Here are few links for those who know what to do:

Quick links

Download SipBomber 0.8 source code
View Readme file

Instructions

Readme is highly recommended for those who want to use all features. If you don’t want long reading here is the shorter version:

1. Download sources
2. Do the magic

tar -xzf sipbomber_0.8.tar.gz
cd sipbomber
make
./sipb_main

3. Click “Run”

Why use it

We created it during sip-server development to have the automated testing tool which would verify our sip-implementation througout the development process. If you are working on sip implementation and didn’t test it with SipBomber yet, you should probably do it now as in 8 of 10 cases intital tests lead to server crashes. This is probably the reason why security people like to use SipBomber in penetartion tests of networks running sip-servers or devices.

Please continue support of this tool. It is great! It would be nice to build in new test cases.

Note about QT

QT is GUI library from Trolltech, which SipBomber uses. You need it installed along with development headers to build SipBomber. If you are under RedHat or Fedora then you should see something like that:

[root@tear ~]# rpm -qa | grep ‘qt’
qt-designer-3.3.4-14
qt-3.3.4-14
qt-devel-3.3.4-14
[root@tear ~]#

Also ‘env’ command should show you QTDIR value set to the folder where QT is installed. If you don’t see it there then you need to install QT first.

Please note that SipBomber is not compatible with Qt 4.x branch yet.

I am running Fedora Core 5 and would like to try this new version (0.8). I shall post my experimental result after my success/failure.

By the way, did anyone successfully compile it on FreeBSD?

HOW TO START DOING TEST CASES?

Comment by shakthi — December 16, 2006 @ 9:04 am

Shakthi, take a look at the screenshot at this page. This is what you’ll see after clicking Run button. On that dialog you should move the tests you want to run from the left list box to the right one and click either Run Serial or Run Parallel button. Hope this helps.

hi,
i cant run it on win32. please provide win32 support also!

Comment by sriharsha — January 5, 2007 @ 11:24 am

hi,
a question: SipBomber could run on Ubuntu linux distribution?
thank you!

Comment by nar-con — February 11, 2007 @ 8:49 pm

We didn’t try it on Ubuntu but it should run there as long as you have QT 3.x installed along with development headers.

Comment by bill luo — March 8, 2007 @ 10:47 am

I get the following error when i run. pls help
General Error: Can’t read test=/usr/share/sipbomber

Comment by Ravi — March 8, 2007 @ 1:17 pm

@bill luo:
Apparently you don’t have Qt installed. Try:
apt-get install qt3
apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev
apt-get install libqt3-headers

(I don’t have Ubuntu so can’t tell exact list of packages you need)

@Ravi:
Do you have a sub-folder (in the folder holding sipb_main) named ‘testcases’ with files like ‘0000000′, ‘0000001′ etc inside ?

If you do but it still doesn’t work you can try setting “testcases dir” value to test cases folder.

Hi,

I am new to sipbomber , is there forum of this?

Comment by santhohs — April 10, 2007 @ 2:22 pm

There is no forum for sipbomber but you can ask your questions here.

Comment by Mark — July 12, 2007 @ 10:33 pm

Mark, it seems that you don’t have Qt and/or Qt development headers installed. You may try something like:

apt-get install qt3
apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev
apt-get install libqt3-headers

Comment by Alexey Gavrilov — July 17, 2007 @ 11:46 am

Hi fellows

I have successfully installed this software on Linux (Fedora 7 - Moonshine). Well at the moment i am learning how to penetrate into SIP server..

Hope this will work.

bye

Hi

On Fedora 7 (Moonshine) output is as followed.

[root@asteriskserver alisendme]# rpm -qa | grep ‘qt’

qt-devel-3.3.8-4.fc7
qt-3.3.8-4.fc7

Comment by Ali — August 8, 2007 @ 8:58 pm

Hi Ali,

Thanks for the help.
After I did a yum to update all the packages in my fedora7 machine I was able to do a make without any errors. And I was able to run sipbomber successfully.

Question for you:
It seems like sipbomber only run data files
from oulu, if I have my own test data (i.e, INVITE text files), how can I run them with sipbomber, any ideas ? I read the README file but it did not say how to do that .

Comment by vinh — August 9, 2007 @ 5:45 pm

Hi Vinh

I am afraid i don’t know about this at the moment.

Ha ha, i tell you about a funny story. I had spent my 3 days to install Sipbomber on another PC running the same version of Fedora7……

Oh thank God, following your advice i did ran ‘yum update’ and its working..lol

Comment by Ali — August 13, 2007 @ 5:14 pm

Hello Vinh

Yes, you can use your own testfile. What i know that your own file only be used during CERT_TEST.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Click RUN button in SIPBOMBER
Select CERT_TEST
You will find a “testcaseses dir” input box on your right. Put there the path of your own testcase file i.e. [yourpath/your_testcase_dir/*

I hope this may help you. Secondly i ran this tool many times and i get this error.

For example if i run REGISTER_valid
i get message: “Packet Error: No reply for this packet”

Did you find any positive results out of this tool?

Regards…

Comment by Ali — August 16, 2007 @ 7:24 pm

Interesting tool. I’m doing some SIP testing and was wondering if there is any documentation on the test cases. There’s 4527 test files but I don’t know what they test.

Sent twice wrong e-mail first time.

Comment by Louis — October 3, 2007 @ 1:09 am

Hello,

you can compile SipBomber on Ubuntu (Gusty Gibbon) this way:
- add qt3 lib and headers: apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev
- in the three following makefiles ./Makefile ./cert_test/Makefile ./stests/Makefile , add -I/usr/include/qt3/ at the end of the INC line.
- Modifiy the ./Makefile and modify the MOC line this way: MOC=/usr/bin/moc

Comment by Mathieu Dessus — November 15, 2007 @ 2:07 pm

ok thank you, i’ll get it on my debian box.
but could this tools use as DoS tools againts a sip server ?

Comment by katiamong — November 18, 2007 @ 6:33 am

Hello!
I have a question about SIP Bomber. I get this error for most of the test: “Packet Error: No reply for this packet”! What can I do? Please help me!Thanks!

Comment by minyuta — November 22, 2007 @ 5:47 pm

“Packet Error: No reply for this packet”

For some tests this is a normal behavior. It means the server didn’t reply to some packet, which is fine for penetration tests (as long as the server didn’t crash)

Comment by Alexey Gavrilov — November 23, 2007 @ 7:15 pm

Is this the same suite of SIP tests as the PROTOS SIP Test Suite (INVITE Torture Test)? Someone above mentioned 4527 test cases, which is the same number as in PROTOS (http://www.ee.oulu.fi/research/ouspg/protos/testing/c07/sip/index.html).

Comment by Jeff — November 27, 2007 @ 11:06 pm

Yes, it includes PROTOS tests

Comment by Alexey Gavrilov — November 27, 2007 @ 11:57 pm

Hello,
I have a problem with this tool. I’m trying to do a valid register requests, but it seems to be impossible. Every time I tried I get “Packet error:no replay for this packet”.I’ve already read that it could be a normal behaviour, but how to get a different replay? And how to send standard sip registration messages?
Thanks
