# Caddy SIP Guardian
A comprehensive Caddy module providing SIP-aware security at Layer 4. Protects your VoIP infrastructure with intelligent rate limiting, attack detection, message validation, and topology hiding.
## Features
### Core Protection
- **Layer 4 SIP Proxying**: Handle SIP traffic (UDP/TCP/TLS) before it reaches your PBX
- **Intelligent Rate Limiting**: Per-method token bucket rate limiting with burst support
- **Automatic Banning**: Ban IPs that exceed failure thresholds
- **Attack Detection**: Detect common SIP scanning tools (SIPVicious, friendly-scanner, etc.)
- **CIDR Whitelisting**: Whitelist trusted networks
- **GeoIP Blocking**: Block traffic by country using MaxMind databases
### Extension Enumeration Detection
- **Count-based Detection**: Block IPs probing too many unique extensions
- **Sequential Pattern Detection**: Detect numeric extension scanning (100, 101, 102...)
- **Rapid-fire Detection**: Catch high-speed enumeration attempts
- **Configurable Exemptions**: Whitelist common extensions like voicemail
### SIP Message Validation
- **RFC 3261 Compliance**: Enforce required headers and message structure
- **Injection Prevention**: Block NULL bytes and binary injection attacks
- **Content-Length Validation**: Detect body/header mismatches
- **Multiple Modes**: Permissive, strict, or paranoid validation
### Topology Hiding (B2BUA-lite)
- **Via Header Rewriting**: Hide internal proxy chain
- **Contact Header Rewriting**: Mask internal IP addresses
- **Sensitive Header Stripping**: Remove P-Asserted-Identity, Server, etc.
- **Call-ID Anonymization**: Prevent dialog correlation attacks
- **Private IP Masking**: Automatically hide RFC 1918 addresses
### Observability
- **Prometheus Metrics**: Comprehensive metrics for monitoring
- **Webhook Notifications**: Real-time alerts for security events
- **SQLite Persistence**: Durable ban storage across restarts
- **Admin API**: RESTful API for management and stats

### Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `SIP_UPSTREAM_HOST` | `freepbx` | Upstream SIP server hostname |
| `SIP_UPSTREAM_PORT` | `5060` | Upstream SIP port |
| `SIP_GUARDIAN_MAX_FAILURES` | `5` | Failures before ban |
| `SIP_GUARDIAN_FIND_TIME` | `10m` | Time window for counting failures |
| `SIP_GUARDIAN_BAN_TIME` | `1h` | Ban duration |
## Feature Details
### Extension Enumeration Detection
Protects against tools like SIPVicious `svwar` that scan for valid extensions:
```caddyfile
enumeration {
max_extensions 20 # Ban after 20 unique extensions probed
extension_window 5m # Within this time window
sequential_threshold 5 # Ban if 5+ consecutive extensions (100,101,102...)
rapid_fire_count 10 # Ban if 10+ extensions in rapid_fire_window
rapid_fire_window 30s
ban_time 2h # Enumeration bans last longer
exempt_extensions 100 200 9999 # Don't count these (voicemail, etc.)
}
```
**Detection Methods:**
1. **Count Threshold**: Too many unique extensions from one IP
2. **Sequential Pattern**: Consecutive numeric extensions indicate scanning
3. **Rapid Fire**: High-speed probing is clearly automated
### SIP Message Validation
Enforces RFC 3261 compliance and blocks malformed/malicious packets:
```caddyfile
validation {
enabled true
mode strict # permissive, strict, or paranoid
max_message_size 65535 # Reject oversized messages
ban_on_null_bytes true # Immediate ban for NULL byte injection
ban_on_binary_injection true
disabled_rules via_invalid_branch # Skip specific rules
}
```
**Validation Modes:**
- **Permissive**: Log violations, only block critical attacks
- **Strict**: Enforce RFC 3261 required headers
- **Paranoid**: Additional heuristics for edge cases
**Validation Rules:**
| Rule | Severity | Action |
|------|----------|--------|
| `null_bytes` | CRITICAL | Immediate ban |
| `binary_injection` | CRITICAL | Immediate ban |
| `missing_via` | HIGH | Count toward ban |
| `missing_from` | HIGH | Count toward ban |
| `missing_to` | HIGH | Count toward ban |
| `missing_call_id` | HIGH | Count toward ban |
| `missing_cseq` | HIGH | Count toward ban |
| `content_length_mismatch` | HIGH | Count toward ban |
| `oversized_message` | HIGH | Count toward ban |
| `invalid_request_uri` | MEDIUM | Reject only |
### Topology Hiding
Hide your internal infrastructure from external attackers:
```caddyfile
sip_topology_hider {
# Your public-facing address
proxy_host 203.0.113.1
proxy_port 5060
# Internal PBX (never exposed)
upstream udp/192.168.1.100:5060
# Enable Via header insertion
rewrite_via
# Replace internal Contact URIs with proxy address
rewrite_contact
# Remove headers that leak internal info
strip_headers P-Preferred-Identity P-Asserted-Identity Remote-Party-ID Server User-Agent X-Asterisk-HangupCause
# Replace RFC 1918 addresses in all headers
hide_private_ips
# Optional: Randomize Call-IDs (prevents dialog correlation)
# anonymize_call_id
}
```
**What It Hides:**
- Internal IP addresses (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x)
- Via header chain revealing internal proxies
- Contact URIs pointing to internal hosts
- Server/User-Agent revealing software versions
- P-Asserted-Identity revealing internal extensions
**Request Flow:**
```
External UA → Caddy → Asterisk
└─ Adds Via: SIP/2.0/UDP proxy.example.com;branch=z9hG4bK...
└─ Rewrites Contact: <sip:proxy.example.com:5060>
└─ Strips: Server, P-Asserted-Identity
```
**Response Flow:**
```
Asterisk → Caddy → External UA
└─ Removes top Via (proxy's)
└─ Dialog state routes response correctly
```

## Detected Attack Patterns
The module automatically detects and flags:
- **SIPVicious** (`sipvicious`, `friendly-scanner`)
- **SIPScan** (`sip-scan`, `sipcli`)
- **Asterisk scanners** (`Asterisk PBX`)
- **Common test extensions** (100, 1000, 9999)
- **Sequential extension probing**
- **NULL byte injection**
- **Binary payload injection**

## Integration Examples
### With FreePBX/Asterisk
```caddyfile
{
layer4 {
udp/:5060 {
@sip sip
route @sip {
sip_guardian {
max_failures 3
ban_time 24h
whitelist 10.0.0.0/8
}
proxy udp/freepbx:5060
}
}
}
}
```
### With Kamailio (as SBC)
```caddyfile
{
layer4 {
udp/:5060 {
@sip sip
route @sip {
sip_guardian { ... }
sip_topology_hider {
proxy_host sbc.example.com
proxy_port 5060
upstream udp/kamailio:5060
rewrite_via
rewrite_contact
}
proxy udp/kamailio:5060
}
}
}
}
```
### High Availability Setup
```caddyfile
{
layer4 {
udp/:5060 {
@sip sip
route @sip {
sip_guardian {
storage {
# Shared storage for HA
path /shared/sip_guardian.db
}
}
# Load balance across PBX cluster
proxy udp/pbx1:5060 udp/pbx2:5060 udp/pbx3:5060 {
lb_policy round_robin
health_check interval=30s
}
}
}
}
}
```
## Security Considerations
1. **Whitelist Internal Networks**: Always whitelist your internal networks to prevent self-blocking
2. **Start Permissive**: Begin with permissive validation mode and tighten after monitoring
3. **Monitor False Positives**: Watch metrics for legitimate traffic being blocked
4. **Regular Updates**: Keep GeoIP databases current
5. **Webhook Alerts**: Configure webhooks for immediate security event notification
