1. Network Security7-1 Firewalls isolates organization’s internal net from larger Internet, allowing some packets to pass, blocking others. firewall

2. Network Security7-2 Firewalls: Why Prevent denial of service attacks: m Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack: Send many fake requests to congest link or consume server resource (CPU, memory) m SYN flooding: attacker sends many SYNs to victim; victim has to allocate connection resource; victim has no resource left for real connection requests any more. Usually with spoofed source IP address Prevent illegal modification/access of internal data. m e.g., attacker replaces CIA’s homepage with something else

3. Network Security7-3 Firewalls: Why Allow only authorized access to inside network m Set of authenticated users m Set of authorized IP addresses Two types of firewalls: m application-level Checking application level data m packet-filtering Checking TCP or IP packets only

4. Network Security7-4 Packet Filtering r internal network connected to Internet via router firewall r router filters packet-by-packet, decision to forward/drop packet based on: m source IP address, destination IP address m TCP/UDP source and destination port numbers m ICMP message type m TCP SYN and ACK bits Should arriving packet be allowed in? Departing packet let out?

5. Network Security7-5 Packet Filtering r Example 1: block incoming and outgoing datagrams with IP protocol field = 17 and with either source or dest port = 23. m All incoming and outgoing UDP flows and telnet connections are blocked. r Example 2: Block inbound TCP segments with SYN=1. m Prevents external clients from making TCP connections with internal clients, but allows internal clients to connect to outside. Example of Windows XP service pack 2 firewall

6. Network Security7-6 Application gateways r Filters packets on application data as well as on IP/TCP/UDP fields. r Example: allow select internal users to telnet outside. host-to-gateway telnet session gateway-to-remote host telnet session application gateway router and filter 1. Require all telnet users to telnet through gateway. 2. For authorized users, gateway sets up telnet connection to dest host. Gateway relays data between 2 connections 3. Router filter blocks all telnet connections not originating from gateway. r Example: block user access to know porn websites m Check if the Web URL is in a “black-list”

7. Network Security7-7 Limitations of firewalls and gateways r IP spoofing: router can’t know if data “really” comes from claimed source m SYN flood attack m UDP traffic r client software must know how to contact application gateway. m e.g., must set IP address of proxy in Web browser r Speed constraint on high-bandwidth link m Application-level firewall is time consuming r filters often use all or nothing policy for UDP m Usually most incoming UDP ports are blocked m The trouble caused to real-time Internet video

8. Network Security7-8 Limitations of firewalls and gateways r tradeoff: degree of communication with outside world, level of security r Trend --- remote office m Blurred boundary between inside outside m Employee laptop threat r many highly protected sites still suffer from attacks

9. Network Security7-9 Internet security threats Mapping: m before attacking: “case the joint” – find out what services are implemented on network  Use ping to determine what hosts have addresses on network m Port-scanning: try to establish TCP connection to each port in sequence (see what happens) m nmap (http://www.insecure.org/nmap/) mapper: “network exploration and security auditing” Countermeasures?

10. Network Security7-10 Internet security threats Mapping: countermeasures m record traffic entering network m look for suspicious activity (IP addresses, pots being scanned sequentially) m Firewall to block incoming TCP/SYN to ports or computers not providing the services m Block ping traffic

11. Network Security7-11 Internet security threats Packet sniffing: m broadcast media m promiscuous NIC reads all packets passing by m can read all unencrypted data (e.g. passwords) m e.g.: C sniffs B’s packets A B C src:B dest:A payload Countermeasures?

12. Network Security7-12 Internet security threats Packet sniffing: countermeasures m all hosts in orgnization run software that checks periodically if host interface in promiscuous mode. m one host per segment of broadcast media (switched Ethernet at hub) A B C src:B dest:A payload

13. Network Security7-13 Internet security threats IP Spoofing: m can generate “raw” IP packets directly from application, putting any value into IP source address field m receiver can’t tell if source is spoofed m e.g.: C pretends to be B A B C src:B dest:A payload Countermeasures?

14. Network Security7-14 Internet security threats IP Spoofing: egress filtering m routers should not forward outgoing packets with invalid source addresses (e.g., datagram source address not in router’s network) m great, but egress filtering can not be mandated for all networks A B C src:B dest:A payload

15. Network Security7-15 Internet security threats Denial of service (DOS): m flood of maliciously generated packets “swamp” receiver m Distributed DOS (DDOS): multiple coordinated sources swamp receiver m e.g., C and remote host SYN-attack A A B C SYN Countermeasures?

16. Network Security7-16 Internet security threats Denial of service (DOS): countermeasures m filter out flooded packets (e.g., SYN) before reaaching host Cooperation with source routers Detect spoofed SYN based on TTL values m traceback to source of floods (most likely an innocent, compromised machine) A B C SYN
