Voice over IP (VoIP) usage is growing at an astronomical rate. While the economic benefits of deployment are clear, concerns of potential abuse of the technology may hinder its deployment. Emerging security threats such as Spam over Internet Telephony (SPIT) are not far from reality and techniques to detect and prevent SPIT are ongoing research areas. In this paper, we design and implement a firewall to detect SPIT for VoIP devices that use the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) which is gaining momentum as the de facto signaling protocol. For SPIT detection, we use fingerprinting techniques that run protocol analysis on the remote software agent to identify VoIP devices. We build and evaluate a prototype SPIT prevention firewall that leverages fingerprint information to identify call invitations from suspicious user agents. We demonstrate that fingerprinting incurs low overhead and is efficient enough to be incorporated into SPIT prevention systems.
