TCP/IP Protocol Suite 2

Criminal Expoits and Attacks Phishing: Masquerading as a well-

known site to obtain a user’ personal info.

Denial of Service: Intentionally blocking a site to prevent business activities.

Loss of control: an intruder gains control of a system.

Loss of data: Steal or delete.

Attacks

Software Based Attackes Malware – Malicious software – damaging or

annoying software. Viruses or worms.

Hardware Based Attacks Bios, USB devices, NAS, Cell phones

Attacks on Virtualized Systems

Software based attacks: Viruses Attaches to a legitimate software (carrier, a

program or document) and then replicates through other programs, devices, emails, instant messaging, etc. Computer crashes, destruction of HD, fill up HD,

Reduce security settings allowing others to come in, reformat HD, etc.

File infecting virus attaches to executables (such as cascade virus), resident virus loaded into RAM (such as Randex, Meve, MrKlunky), Boot virus infects MBR (Polyboot.B , AntiEXE), companion virus adds program to OS replacing legitimate OS programs (Stator, Asimove.1539), Macro virus written in any macro scripting (Melissa.A, Bablas.Pc).

Polymorphic virus changes itself to avoid detection

Worms Stand alone programs Takes advantage of the OS/application

vulnerabilities. Worms uses networks to send copies of itself

slowing down networks. While virus requires user action to start an infected

program, worms do not (can start executing itself).

Worms as they travel through internet can leave a payload behind on each system which can delete files or allow remote controlling of the system.

Concealing malware

Trojan horses, rootkits, logic bombs and privilege escalation.

Trojan Horse

Installed with the knowledge of the user. A program advertised as a utility but actually does something else (screen saver, calendar, player, etc.). These programs may do a legitimate activity, but also might capture credit card info, etc and send it.

Rootkits Programs installed on computers that takes

control of certain aspects of the computer by replacing OS utilities. Sony installed a program on their CDs (2005) preventing copying of the CD by operating system routines. Others used this idea and created their own, or added features to Sony’s program. Rootkits do not spread themselves. Very difficult to remove from HD. Boot from another device and see if problems disappear.

Logic Bombs

Lies Dormant until triggered by an event such as a date, person fired, etc. Usually done by employees. Very difficult to discover before triggered. Embedded in large programs.

Privilege Escalation

Either change own privilege to higher level, or use another employees higher privilege. Done by exploiting vulnerabilities of OS.

Malware for profit

Spam, spyware and botnets Spam

Waste of time, checking and deleting. Email lists are sold by many ISPs, and other sites.

Spyware Tracking software installed without the knowledge of

the user. Advertises and Collects and distributes personal information. Harder to detect and remove than viruses. Causes the computer to slow down, freezes up, new browser toolbars or menus installed, hijacked homepage and increased popups.

Adware – a software that delivers advertising for gambling sites or pornography. Keeps track of browsing behavior and reports to give specific pop-ups for merchandize.

Keyloggers. A small hardware attached to the keyboard interface or a resident software that monitors and logs each keystroke.

Botnets

Programs that render your computer to be controlled remotely. The computer is called a zombie. Thousands of zombie computers under the control of a single attacker is called a botnet.

Attackers use internet relay chat (IRC) to remotely control the zombies.

Zombies are used for spamming, spreading malware, denying services, etc.

Hardware based attacks

BIOS BIOS can be flashed with viruses or rootkits.

Flashing the bios can render the computer useless until it is replaced. You can write protect BIOS to prevent this from happening.

USB devices NAS and SANs can get all malware

discussed. Cell phones – infected messages, launch

attacks, make calls, etc.

Attacks on Virtualized systems Operating system virtualization with virtual

machine Storage virtualization Multiple os on the same machine. However,

existing anti virus/spam software do not work. Additional concern – one existing virtual machine

may infect another. Protection approaches:

Hypervisor-runs on the physical machine and manages the virtual machines.

Run security software such as a firewall on the physical machine

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 16

Techniques used

Wiretapping Replay – sending packets captured from previous

session such as username and password. Buffer overflow: sending more data than receiver

expects, thereby storing values in memory buffer. Address spoofing. Faking IP source address Name spoofing. Misspelling of a well-known name

or poisoning name server. SYN flood – sending stream of TCP SYN Key breaking – guessing password Port Scanning – to find vulnerability Packet Interception – man in the middle attack.

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 17

Security Techniques

Hardening Operating system Encryption Digital Signatures Firewall Intrusion detection systems Packet inspection and content

scanning VPN

Hardening Operating System 3 pronged approach:

operating system updates, Protect against buffer overflows, configuring operating system

protections

Operating System updates

Security Patch: Covers discovered Vulnerabilities

Turn on automatic updates Hotfix – specific to a customer situation Service Pack – Cumulative security patches

and other software updates. Designate one server within your

organization as the patch update service

Buffer Overflow Protection

Corrupts system memory and causes freezing

May change the return address (from a routine) to a different one where the malware is residing.

Programmers should write defensive programming. Show the textbook to the students.◦ For windows based programming use: Data

execution prevention(DEP) and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR)

Defensive programming Microsoft environment Data Execution Prevention (DEP)

◦ DEP is available in VISTA and beyond◦ Designated memory only to hold data not

code (No eXecute NX bit associated with the memory). Buffer overflow redirection would not work within a NX memory.

◦ Programmers can turn on this feature. Address Space Randomization (ASLR).

◦ Each time Vista.. Is rebooted .EXE and .DLL are loaded randomly into 256 possible locations. Attackers find it difficult to work with unpredictable code locations.

Configuring Operating System Protection Security Policy

A document that clearly defines the defense mechanisms an organization will employ in order to keep information secure.

Configuration baseline – permissions on files, registry permissions, logins, authentications, etc. You may want to create a Security template to handle it.

Deployment – individually or by group policy

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 35

In cryptography, the encryption/decryption algorithms are

public; the keys are secret.

Note:Note:

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 36

In symmetric-key cryptography, the same key is used by the sender (for encryption) and the receiver (for decryption). The key is shared.

Note:Note:

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 41

Data encryption Standard (DES) Is a block cipher Takes 64-bit plaintext and creates a

64-bit ciphertext. The cipher key is a 56-bit key.

It uses 16 rounds, each round mixes and swapps (left half with right half)

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 42

Figure 28.5 DES (Data Encryption Standard)

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 43

The DES cipher uses the same concept as the Caesar cipher, but the

encryption/ decryption algorithm is much more complex.

Note:Note:

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 44

Asymmetric-key ciphers

The secret key is personal and unshared. Symmetric key scheme would require n(n-

1)/2 keys, for a million people it would require half a billion shared secret keys. Whereas, in asymmetric scheme we would only require a million secret keys.

Asymmetric ciphers use two keys, private and public.

Asymmetric is much slower. Both symmetric and asymmetric can be used if need to be. Think: if you want to send a secret symmetric key, you can use asymmetric.

Protocols IPSec (internet Security Protocol) operates in the

network layer. Used in VPN. IP sec supports Authentication Header (AH)

protocal and Encapsulation Security Payload (ESP) protocol

The SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol serves as a security for transferring encrypted data.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) standard. Data stream is encrypted with RC4 algorithm. RC4 is simple, it is not very secure.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) specification and AES (Advanced Encryption standard) I more secure for encrypting wireless data.

Hash functions

Message of arbitrary length is made into a fixed length message.

MD2, MD4, MD5 SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm)

developed by NIST.

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 57

Non-repudiation

If alice signs a message then denies it, the message can be verified. That means we have to keep the messages.

A trusted center can be created. Alice send the digitally signed message to the trusted center who verifies it, saves a copy of the message, recreates the message with its own signature and send to bob. Bob can verify the trusted center’s public key.

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 59

A symmetric key between two parties is useful if it is used only once; it must be created for one session and destroyed

when the session is over.

Note:Note:

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 60

Figure 28.19 Diffie-Hellman method

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 61

The symmetric (shared) key in the Diffie-Hellman protocol is

K = G xy mod N.

Note:Note:

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 62

Let us give an example to make the procedure clear. Our example uses small numbers, but note that in a real situation, the numbers are very large. Assume G = 7 and N = 23. The steps are as follows:

1. Alice chooses x = 3 and calculates R1 = 73 mod 23 = 21.

2. Alice sends the number 21 to Bob.

3. Bob chooses y = 6 and calculates R2 = 76 mod 23 = 4.

4. Bob sends the number 4 to Alice.

5. Alice calculates the symmetric key K = 43 mod 23 = 18.

6. Bob calculates the symmetric key K = 216 mod 23 = 18.

The value of K is the same for both Alice and Bob; G xy mod N = 718 mod 23 = 18.
