Information Networking Security and Assurance Lab National Chung Cheng University 1 A Real World Attack: wu-ftp

Information Networking Security and Assurance Lab National Chung Cheng University 2 Description There have many intrusion accident happened in day. Do you know what technique that crackers can intrude your web server, mail server and ftp server. Today, this exercise will guide you through the process of discovering a vulnerable system, exploiting the vulnerability, and installing software to cover your tracks.

Information Networking Security and Assurance Lab National Chung Cheng University 3 Purpose Located a vulnerable system Exploit that vulnerability to gain a root shell Installed a RootKit Access the system via the RootKit

Information Networking Security and Assurance Lab National Chung Cheng University 6 Required Facilities WARNING:  This process of cracking a system is only tested in internal network.  Do not actual exploit on unprivileve host Hardware  PC or Workstation with UNIX-like system Software  Wu-ftp  RootKits and Buffer Overflow Program

Information Networking Security and Assurance Lab National Chung Cheng University 7 Step (I): reconnaissance and scanning Use “nmap” for system scanning Test the account of anonymous

Information Networking Security and Assurance Lab National Chung Cheng University 8 Step (II): exploit the target Decompress the buffer overflow file and compile it List the usage of this tool

Information Networking Security and Assurance Lab National Chung Cheng University 9 Step (III): cracking Execute the buffer overflow on target host Got the root right

Information Networking Security and Assurance Lab National Chung Cheng University 10 Step (IV) Download the rootkit from outside and install it checking the login user Download the tool from another victim Execute the rootkit Decompress the rootkit

Information Networking Security and Assurance Lab National Chung Cheng University 11 Step (V): auto-patch the victim the default login password change the system command open the telnet port close the system filewall Report the system information

Information Networking Security and Assurance Lab National Chung Cheng University 12 Step (IV) try the rootkit if it works Now you can do anything We have got a root shell now The Telnet daemon has been replaced Input the ID and the Password Which predefine by us
