SiVuS is the first publicly available vulnerability scanner for VoIP networks that use the SIP protocol. If you are not familiar with SIP you can browse through the on-line tutorials that are listed at the end of this document or under the “SIP Help” tab in the SiVuS interface. The scanner provides several powerful features to verify the robustness and secure implementation of a SIP component. These features are described in the User Guide. Although the scanner is implemented using Java JDK 1.4 and can run on any platform which supports Java 1.4 runitme environment, the available distribution run on Windows platform.
SiVuS is used primarily by developers, administrators, network designers, managers and consultants to verify the robustness and security of their SIP implementations by generating the attacks that are included in the SiVuS database or by crafting their own SIP messages using the SIP Message generator.
