# sipquery(1)

register and report sip contact details

## NAME

sipquery - register and report sip contact details

## SYNOPSIS

**sipquery** \[**options**\] *userid\[@server\[:port\]\]*

## DESCRIPTION

This is a tool that uses the registration process to query the sip contact uri for a registered user agent.  This may even be considered a demonstration of a security flaw in the standard SIP server model.  Basically, an un-authenticated registration request is sent to the server, and the contact uri is read to standard out from the server reply message.

## OPTIONS

- **--forward=***address*

  Sets the "public appearing" IP address for testing behind NAT.

- **--port=***number*

  Sets the sip port number, in case the default port (5060) is in use already.

- **--proxy=***host*

  Use a specified outbound proxy uri to get to the server being queried.

- **--server=***host*

  Specify server uri to query unless offered as part of userid.

- **--timeout=***seconds*

  Time to wait for query response.
