Fundamentals Introduction to Proactive System Security
What this class IS about: An introductory course in adopting a proactive (v.s. reactive) stance towards systems security. What this class IS NOT about: An offensive class in hacking. How does one better understand how to defend against system security attacks? By performing and testing against them. 6
7
Fundamentals What is Hacking? Classical Definition:
Seeking to understand computer systems strictly for the love of having that knowledge. Modern Definition: Illegal access to computer or network systems. BEFORE NOW 7

10
Fundamentals Who/what is a “Cracker”?
Term used to describe a hacker with malicious intent. Crackers (cyber criminals) get into all kinds of mischief, including breaking or "cracking" copy protection on software programs, breaking into systems and causing harm, changing data, or stealing. 10
11
Fundamentals “Hacker” v.s. “Cracker”?
- Today there’s no real distinction between the two terms. Hacker = Cracker However… - Some hackers regard crackers as less educated. - Some crackers don’t create their own work; simply steal other people's work to cause mischief, or for personal gain. 11
12
Fundamentals Who are “Script kiddies”?
- Unskilled individuals who use scripts or programs developed by knowledgeable programmers to attack computer systems. - Generally considered “posers” or “kiddies” lacking the ability to write sophisticated scripts or programs on their own. - Usually seeking to gain credit or impress their friends. 12
13
Fundamentals What is an “Ethical Hacker”? Oxymoron: Honest Criminal
- A new breed of network defenders. - Performs the same activities a hacker does but with the owner / company’s permission. - Usually contracted to perform penetration testing. 13
14
Fundamentals Penetration Testing v.s. Security Testing
- Discover vulnerabilities. - Perform attack and penetration assessments. - Perform discovery and scanning for open ports & services. - Apply exploits to gain access and expand access as necessary. - Activities involving application penetration testing and application source review. - Interact with the client as required. - Produce reports documenting discoveries during the engagement. - Report your findings with the client at the conclusion of each engagement. v.s. Security Testing + Participate in research and provide recommendations for improvement. + Participate in knowledge sharing. 14
15
Fundamentals Why perform Penetration Tests? 15
16
Fundamentals Steps for a Penetration Test Step #1: Planning Phase
- Scope & Strategy of the assignment is determined. - Existing security policies and standards are used for defining the scope. Step #2: Discovery Phase - Collect as much information as possible about the system including data in the system, user names and even passwords (fingerprinting). - Scan and Probe into the ports. - Check for vulnerabilities of the system. Step #3: Attack Phase - Find exploits for various vulnerabilities. - Obtain necessary security Privileges to exploit the system & exploit. 16
17
Fundamentals Steps for a Penetration Test Step #4: Reporting Phase
- Report must contain detailed findings. - Risks of vulnerabilities found and their impact on business - Recommendations for solutions, if any (Security Testing). 17
18
Fundamentals Penetration Testing Limitations
- Can’t find all the vulnerabilities on a system. - Time for tester - Budget - Scope - Skills of testers - Data loss and corruption - Downtime for organization - Increased costs for organization* * How could pen testing decrease costs for an organization? 18
19
Fundamentals Roles & Responsibilities of the Pen-Tester
Testers should collect required information from the Organization to enable penetration tests (depending on the type of testing model). Find flaws that could allow hackers to attack a target machine. Pen Testers should think & act like real hackers (ethically). Tester should be responsible for any loss in the system or information during the testing. Tester should keep data and information confidential. 19
20
Fundamentals Types of Pen-Testing Methodologies White Box Model
- Tester is given the company network topology, info on technology used, and permission to interview all employees (including IT personnel). Black Box Model - Tester is not given any information. - Management doesn’t tell staff about the pen test being conducted. - Help determine if company’s security personnel are able to detect attacks. Gray Box Model - Hybrid of the white and black box models. - Tester may get partial information. 20
21
Class Discussion Which pen-testing category / model closely mimics that of an insider threat? Which type of pen-testing model is better suited for an organization on a extremely limited budget? Which pen-testing model is most accurate? Which can be considered to have the greatest drawback? 21
22
Class Discussion 22
23
Fundamentals Types of Hats
- White Hats (Ethical / Pen-Testers improving security) - Black Hats (Hackers / Crackers degrading security) - Grey Hats (In-between White and Black) - Red Hat (Enterprise Linux) 23
24
Fundamentals What can you do Legally? What about: Port scanning?
Possession of hacking tools? Photographing? ISP Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)? Installing viruses on a computer network denying users? In Hawaii, the state must prove that the person charged with committing a crime on a computer had the “intent to commit a crime.” 24
25
Fundamentals Federal Laws: - Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Title 18
Crime to access classified information with authorization. - Electronic Communication and Abuse Act Illegal to intercept any communication, regardless of how it was transmitted. - Stored Wire and Electronic Communications and Transactional Records Act Defines unauthorized access to computers that store classified information. 25
26
Class Discussion What are the advantages of using a written contract when engaged in a computer consulting job? Why is it important that your attorney read over the contract before you sign it? What is upper management’s role for a penetration test? 26
27
Class Discussion Why do you think the government does not define a common law for computer-related crimes, rather than allowing each state to address these issues? 27
28
Fundamentals Ethical Hacking in a Nutshell
Must have a good understanding of networks & computer technology. Must be able to communicate with management & IT personnel. Must have an understanding of the laws that apply to your location. Must be able to apply the necessary tools to perform your tasks. 28

OS Vulnerabilities Windows File Systems File Allocation Table (FAT):
Purpose is to store and manage information. File Allocation Table (FAT): Standard File System for most removable media. Why would using FAT in a multiuser environment be considered a critical vulnerability? 1 cluster = smallest allocated unit for a file 512 B = 1 sector 67
68
OS Vulnerabilities Windows File Systems File Allocation Table (FAT):
Purpose is to store and manage information. File Allocation Table (FAT): Standard File System for most removable media. Why would using FAT in a multiuser environment be considered a critical vulnerability? Because FAT doesn’t support file-level access control lists (ACLs)! 1 cluster = smallest allocated unit for a file 512 B = 1 sector 68
69
OS Vulnerabilities Windows File Systems
New Technology File System (NTFS): Supports larger files and disk volumes while addressing security through ACLs and FS journaling. Alternate Data Streams (ADSs) is a NTFS feature used for compatibility with the old Apple Hierarchical File System, using both data forks (contents of documents), and resource forks (file type identification) to store data. Why are ADSs considered a security risk? 69

Alternate Data Streams (ADSs) is a NTFS feature used for compatibility with the old Apple Hierarchical File System, using both data forks (contents of documents), and resource forks (file type identification) to store data. Why are ADSs considered a security risk? ADSs make it possible for hackers who want to hide & store, exploitation tools, and other malicious files on compromised systems. 70
71
OS Vulnerabilities Windows File Systems
New Technology File System (NTFS): Tools used for detecting ADSs -- LADS Program lists all alternate data streams of an NTFS directory. lns LNS is a tool that searches for NTFS streams (aka alternate data streams or multiple data streams).

OS Vulnerabilities Network Basic Input / Output System (NetBIOS)
OSI Session Layer 5. Software loaded into memory that allows a program to interact with a shared network resource or device. NetBIOS frees an application from understanding the details of a network. Still used today for ensuring backward capability. Uses ports open to the internet: UDP/137 UDP/138 TCP/139 79

Why is NetBIOs over TCP/IP considered a security risk? 81
82
OS Vulnerabilities Network Basic Input / Output System (NetBIOS)
Why is NetBIOs over TCP/IP considered a security risk? Because an attacker can gain the following information: Computer name Contents of the remote name cache, including IP addresses A list of local NetBIOS names A list of names resolved by broadcast or via WINS Contents of the session table with the destination IP addresses 82
83
OS Vulnerabilities Server Message Block (SMB) OSI Application Layer 7.
Used for sharing access to files, printers, serial ports, and misc communications between nodes on a network. Uses TCP/445 port. Vulnerabilities are associated with Microsoft’s implementation of the SMB protocol and the components it directly relies on. 83
84
OS Vulnerabilities Common Internet File System (CIFS)
Replaces SMB but allows backward capability. Remote File System Protocol that allows computers to share network resources over the internet. 84
85
OS Vulnerabilities Domain Controllers
- Servers that handle authentication. - DC’s using CIFS listen on the following ports: DNS (53), HTTP (80), Kerberos (88), RPC (135), NetBIOS (137 & 139), LDAP (389), HTTPS (443), SMB/CIFS (445), LDAP over SSL (636), Active Directory Global Catalog (328) - Most attackers look for DCs because they contain so much information they want to access. 85
86
OS Vulnerabilities Null Sessions
Allows you to connect to a remote machine without using a user name or password. Anonymous logins. i.e. FTP, SQL (null SA password), IPC$, etc… This is the most frequently used method for network reconnaissance employed by hackers. 86
87
OS Vulnerabilities Buffer Overflows
Occurs when data is written to a buffer (temporary memory space) and, because of insufficient bounds checking, corrupts data in memory next to the allocated buffer. Applications written in C & C++ are vulnerable. Can allow attackers to run shell code. 87
88
OS Vulnerabilities Trojan Non replicating type of malware.
Program that appears to perform a desired function. Gains privileged access. Allows remote administration (backdoors). Creates a file server (FTP). Drops malicious payload. 88
89
OS Vulnerabilities Rootkits
Installed by intruders who have gained root access. Contains malicious Trojan binary programs. Designed to hide and maintain privileged access. Can reside in the kernel. Removal becomes complicated. 89
90
Class Discussion What are the benefits of using passwords as an authentication method? Why can it be considered a weakness / vulnerability? 90
91
Class Discussion What are the benefits of using passwords as an authentication method? Cost effective and disposable. Why can it be considered a weakness / vulnerability? “What you know” v.s. “what you are” or “what you have.” A username and password is all that stands between an attacker and access. 91
92
OS Vulnerabilities Passwords
All users / admins should change their passwords regularly. Establish minimum length for users (8 chars) and admins (15 chars) Require complexity: include letters, numbers, symbols, both upper and lower case chars. No dictionary (common) or slang words (in any language). No connection to the user: ss#, birthdays, or names. Never write passwords down (esp. online, through , or store on a users computer). Be aware of shoulder surfing. Limit reuse of old passwords. Set account lockout duration (i.e. timeout 30 seconds after first attempt). Set account lockout thresholds (i.e. disable account after 3 attempts). 92

104
Class Discussion Why do you think people believe windows is more vulnerable than *nix OSs? 104
105
Class Discussion Why do you think people believe windows is more vulnerable than *nix OSs? Because a majority of people use windows, most attackers focus on compromising that OS. Why do you think only 1% of all desktop users use Linux? 105

Embedded OS Vulnerabilities
What are Embedded Systems? Any computer system that isn’t a general-purpose PC. What are Embedded Operating Systems? Embedded Systems that include their own operating system, including stripped-down versions of commonly used OSs. What are some examples of embedded systems that contain embedded Oss? 109
110
Embedded OS Vulnerabilities
Things to keep in mind: Don’t underestimate the security risks associated with embedded systems simply because they’re small, perform simple tasks, or the belief that no one would bother attacking them. Embedded OSs are networked and are everywhere (think about Critical Infrastructure & SCADA). Many of the vulnerabilities seen in common OSs directly carry over. Coding of the OS and patching can be difficult due to memory Constraints. How do you patch a PIC16F877? 110
