utils dump configuration

Summary

Dump an example configuration file

What it does

SIPVicious supports configuration files in various formats; this command prints an example configuration file in the file format specified, TOML being default

Tool functionality

The dump configuration command is used to show the current configuration status. This is great when trying to get an example of the default settings for any sipvicious tool. The tool outputs the contents to standard output, which can be redirected to a file or piped to another tool if need be.

Examples

Full flag documentation

Flag: -C, --config

Specify a configuration file which may be a JSON, TOML and YAML config format. To get the default settings and figure out which settings are available, one may run the sipvicious utils dump config command. This is typically used to create a template configuration that can then be edited as need be.

These settings may be overwritten when the corresponding flag is explicitly set, if one is present.

Flag: --debug

Tells the logger to print out debug messages.

Flag: -T, --duration

Specify the maximum duration of the attack so that it stops after a certain time. Examples include:

  • 30s
  • 10m
  • 24h

Flag: -f, --format

Specify any of the supported formats: TOML, YAML or JSON.

Flag: --logfile

When the logfile flag is specified, a log file is created in the location specified and logs are generated in this file instead of being sent to standard output. If the filename ends with a .json file extension, then the output format is in JSON, otherwise it defaults to text format.

Flag: --results

When the results flag is specified, upon completing the test, it outputs the results to the specified filename. The format for this output file is text unless the filename ends with a .json file extension. In that case, the result output is that of JSON.

The schema for the JSON output for this submodule can be found here.
