Three major components to most worm attacks:

–Enabling vulnerability

–Propagation mechanism

35

Mitigating Viruses, Worms, and Trojan Horses

Worms are more network-based than viruses.

The response to a worm infection can be broken down into four phases: Containment（抑制）Inoculation（接种）Quarantine（隔离）Treatment（治疗）

1.3.1 Reconnaissance Attack

This course classifies attacks in three major categories.

41

Reconnaissance Attack

Reconnaissance attacks use various tools to Reconnaissance attacks use various tools to gain access to a network: gain access to a network:

– Packet sniffersPacket sniffers

– Ping sweepsPing sweeps

– Port scansPort scans

– Internet information queriesInternet information queries

42

Reconnaissance Attack A packet sniffer is a software application.

Uses a network adapter card in promiscuous mode to capture all network packets that are sent across a LAN.

Some network applications distribute network packets in unencrypted plaintext.

Numerous freeware and shareware packet sniffers.

1.3.2 Access Attacks

There are There are five typesfive types of access attacks: of access attacks:• Password attack Password attack

• Trust exploitation Trust exploitation

• Port redirection Port redirection

• Man-in-the-middle attack Man-in-the-middle attack

• Buffer overflowBuffer overflow

46

Access Attacks

Password attack

Attackers can implement password attacks using several different methods:

–Brute-force attacks

–Trojan Horse programs

–Packet sniffers

52

1.3.3 Denial of Service Attacks

A DoSDoS attack is a networknetwork attack.

DoS attacks attempt to compromise the availabilitycompromise the availability of a network, host, or application.

There are two major reasons a DoS attack occurs:

–A host or application fails to handle an unexpected condition.

–A network, host, or application is unable to handle an enormous quantity of data.

53

Denial of Service Attacks

DDos — Distribute Dos

Denial of Service Attacks Ping of Death

A hacker sends an echo request in an IP packet larger than the maximum packet size of 65,535 bytes

Tools of the Attacker

The following are a few of the most popular tools used by network attackers:

Enumeration tools (dumpreg, netview and netuser)

Port/address scanners (AngryIP, nmap, Nessus)

Vulnerability scanners (Meta Sploit, Core Impact, ISS)

Packet Sniffers (Snort, Wire Shark, Air Magnet)

Root kits

Cryptographic cracking tools (Cain, WepCrack)

Malicious codes (worms, Trojan horse, time bombs)

System hijack tools (netcat, MetaSploit, Core Impact)

62

1.3.4 Mitigating Network Attacks

Reconnaissance attacksReconnaissance attacks can be mitigated in several ways.

1. Implement authenticationauthentication to ensure proper access.

2. Use encryptioencryptionn to render packet sniffer attacks useless.

3. Use anti-sniffer toolsanti-sniffer tools to detect packet sniffer attacks.

4. Implement a switchedswitched infrastructure.

5. Use a firewall and IPSfirewall and IPS.
