Telephony Fraud Prevention System
This product is available as an AWS AMI with technical support
https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-yug5okdjyzjgu
If you prefer you can use the open source version at your own risk.
This project is an effective real time system to block Internet Revenue Share Fraud in SIP networks. It is based in blacklists and change analysis. We have discarded artificial inteligence due to the lagging response for fraud. I have provided instructions for Asterisk and FreePBX, consult us to connect other systems.
Please do not use this project unless you know exactly what you are doing or use at your own risk, please read carefully the license before using.
This project was created to run in AWS behind a firewall. The only system with access to this server should be the softswitch or PBX.
*** PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THE SYSTEM WITHOUT A FIREWALL, THERE IS NO AUTHENTICATION BY DESIGN ***
This project requires:
Debian 10 Buster
OpenSIPS 3.2 - All modules
Asterisk 16 - Deafult installed with apt-get
Asterisk TTS - https://zaf.github.io/asterisk-googletts/\
msmtp - smtp client
mailutils - email client
m4 - GNU m4 preprocessor
ipabusedb key
The installation is made using SSH. Please use ssh or putty to access your instance.
Deploy the database to MySQL
sudo mysql < fps.sql
Configure the system by editing the file defines.m4, pay attention to the backticks. Use nano or vi to edit the file
Go to the directory below
cd /usr/src/tfps
vi defines.m4

After filling the file defines.m4 (you will need an api key for ipabusedb https://www.abuseipdb.com/) with your own definitions, then run
sudo ./install.sh
Restart OpenSIPS and Asterisk
systemctl restart opensips
systemctl restart asterisk
There are two modes of operation. 503/603 and Redirect. In the 503/603 the system will respond with 603 each time it detects a fraud. This response shouldn't failover to the next gateway. When receiving a 503, the system should failover to the next gateway and complete the call.
If in redirect mode, the system will return a 302 Moved Temporarily with a prefix A00 in the Request URI, in the client system, strip the A00 and complete the call. See the docs
TFPS was designed to work hands free. However there are a few situations where you may want to interfere. For this we have the CLI utility tfpsctl.
To remove a user use:
sudo tfpsctl remove username domain
To reset the quotas of a user:
sudo tfpsctl reset username domain
To list users
sudo tfpsctl list
