Detecting SQL Injection Attacks in VoIP using Real-time Deep Packet Inspection : Can a Deep Packet Inspection Firewall Detect SQL Injection Attacks on SIP Traffic with Reasonable Performance?Sjöström, Linus January 2019 (has links)
The use of the Internet has increased over the years, and it is now an integral part of our daily activities, as we often use it for everything from interacting on social media to watching videos online. Phone calls nowadays tend to use Voice over IP (VoIP), rather than the traditional phone networks. As with any other services using the Internet, these calls are vulnerable to attacks. This thesis focus on one particular attack: SQL injection in the Session Initial Protocol (SIP), where SIP is a popular protocol used within VoIP. To find different types of SQL injection, two classifiers are implemented to either classify SIP packets as "valid data" or "SQL injection". The first classifier uses regex to find SQL meta-characters in headers of interest. The second classifier uses naive Bayes with a training data set to classify. These two classifiers are then compared in terms of classification throughput, speed, and accuracy. To evaluate the performance impact of packet sizes and to better understand the classifiers resiliance against an attacker introducing large packets, a test with increasing packet sizes is also presented. The regex classifier is then implemented in a Deep Package Inspection (DPI) open-source implementation, nDPI, before being evaluated with regards to both throughput and accuracy. The result are in favor of the regex classifier as it had better accuracy and higher classification throughput. Yet, the naive Bayes classifier works better for new types of SQL injection that we do not know. It therefore argues that the best choice depends on the scenario; both classifiers have their strengths and weakness!
