About This Presentation
 Assume basics
– Understand IP addressing
– Understand basic system administration
 Tools
– Where to find them
– Basic usage
 Terminology
 A “Network” point of view
Background
 Originally developed during early 1999
 Concepts first discussed October 1999
 Many concepts can be found in DDOS
software today
Attack Recognition Basics
 Pattern Recognition
– Examples:
• Byte sequence in RAM
• Packet content in a network transmission
• Half opens against a server within a certain time
frame
– Considered “real-time”
Attack Recognition Basics Cont.
 Effect Recognition
– Examples
• Unscheduled server restart in logs
• Unexplainable CPU utilization
• System binaries altered
– Considered “non” real-time
Attack Recognition Problems
 Blended “pattern” and “effect” attacks
 Sniffing attacks
 Decoys and false identification of attack
source
Attack Recognition Problems
Cont.
 Current solutions are usually “pattern” or
“effect”, no real-time global solutions
 Existing large scale solutions can easily be
defeated
Common Thwarting Techniques
 Rule-based systems can be tricked
 Log watchers can be deceived
 Time-based rules can be bypassed
What is Needed
 The “Overall Behavior Network/Host
Monitoring Tool” (which doesn’t exist)
What Do We Do?
 “Trickle Down Security”
– Solutions for distributed attacks will introduce
good security overall
 Off-the-shelf is not enough
 Learn about attack types
 Defensive techniques
Changing Attack Patterns
 More large-scale attacks
 Better enumeration and assessment of the
target by the attacker
Two Basic Distributed Attack
Models
 Attacks that do not require direct
observation of the results
 Attacks that require the attacker to directly
observe the results

ICMP
 Sweeping a network with Echo
 Typical alternates to ping
– Timestamp
– Info Request
Fun with ICMP
 Advanced ICMP enumeration
– ICMP fingerprinting
– Invalid header info to enumerate hosts
Host Enumeration
# ./icmpenum -i 2 -c xxx.xx.218.0
xxx.xx.218.23 is up
xxx.xx.218.26 is up
xxx.xx.218.52 is up
xxx.xx.218.53 is up
xxx.xx.218.58 is up
xxx.xx.218.63 is up

Nmap
 Ping sweeps
 Port scanning
 TCP fingerprinting
Fun with Nmap
 Additional features
– “Same segment” sniffing
Addition Probes
 Possible security devices
– Using “bait” to fish out security mechanisms
 Sweep for promiscuous devices
– False hosts and DNS lookups

Defensive Techniques
 Good security policy
 Split DNS
– All public systems in one DNS server located
in DMZ
– All internal systems using private addresses
with separate DNS server internally
 Drop/reject packets with a TTL of 1 or 0
Defensive Techniques Cont.
 Minimal ports open
 Stateful inspection firewalls
 Modified kernels/IDS to look for fingerprint
packets
Defensive Techniques Cont.
 Limit ICMP inbound to host/destination
unreachable
 Limit outbound ICMP
DMZ Server Recommendations
 Split services between servers
 Current patches
 Use trusted paths, anti-buffer overflow
settings and kernel patches
 Use any built-in firewalling software
 Make use of built-in state tables
Firewall Rules
 Limit inbound to only necessary services
 Limit outbound via proxies to help control
access
 Block all outbound to only necessary traffic
Intrusion Detection Systems
 Use only IDS’s that can be customized
 IDS should be capable of handling
fragmented packet reassembly
 IDS should handle high speeds
Spoofed Packet Defenses
 Get TTL of suspected spoofed packet
 Probe the source address in the packet
 Compare the probe reply’s TTL to the
suspected spoofed packet
Questions, etc.
