[Full-disclosure] [Mlabs] Scrutinising SIP Payloads : Traversing Attack Vectors in VOIP and IM

[Aditya K Sood]

Hi

I have released core research paper on SIP comprising of Payload 
problems and Attack vectors.

This research paper lays stress on the potential weaknesses present in
the SIP which make it vulnerable to stringent attacks. The point of 
discussion is to understand the weak spots in the protocol. The payloads 
constitute the request vectors. The protocol inherits well defined 
security procedures and implementation objects. The security model is 
hierarchical and is diverged in every working layer of SIP from top to 
bottom. SIP features can be exploited easily if definitive attack base 
is subjugated. We will discuss about inherited flaws and methods to 
combat against predefined attacks. The payloads have to be scrutinized 
at the network level. It is critical because payloads are
considered as infection bases to infect networks . The pros and cons 
will be enumerated from security perspective.
