Using SIP Traffic to Influence the Communications and Geopolitical Landscape of Germa
summary
Analysis of Rapid7 Project Sonar SIP reply packets shows 380/1000 FRITZ!OS or AVM user‑agents originating from Germany (38% of the sample), mostly on UDP port 5060 and sent unencrypted. Workflow uses pigz to decompress, Rapid7’s Project Sonar + dap to extract JSON → CSV, grep/regex to create new SIP fingerprints, and bash to sort results. Outcome: large, concentrated fleet of identical PBX devices increases risk of mass DDoS, eavesdropping and supply‑chain style nation‑state impact; mitigations include SIPS/TLS, patching, and reducing public exposure.
