1. Internet and Intranet Fundamentals Class 8 Session A

2. Intranet Security Assets Needing Protection Threats Firewalls –Overview –Various Architectures –Ref: ref: Building Internet Firewalls, Chapman & Zwicky ISBN: 1565921240

3. Assets Needing Protection Data –stored on computers Resources –the computers themselves Reputation

4. Protecting Data Secrecy / Privacy Integrity Availability

5. Protecting Data Secrecy / Privacy Trade Secrets –obligations to shareholders Competitive Intelligence –competition sensitive Examples –national defense –patient medical records –student records

6. Protecting Data Integrity Keeping Data from Being Modified –tampering Loss of Confidence –consumer –customer –investor –employee

7. Protecting Data Availability Is your data accessible? Related to computing resource availability

8. Protecting Resources Computer Resources –disk space –CPU cycles –memory Labor Resources –$$$ spent in … tracking down intruders performing re-installing software

9. Protecting Reputation Confidence Intruders Masquerade as You –identity theft Business/Technical Competence Example –professor and racist hate mail

10. Threats Types of Attacks Types of Attackers Stupidity and Accidents

11. Types of Attacks Intrusion Denial of Service Information Theft

12. Intrusion People Gain Access to Your Network and Computers How? –social engineering –guesswork crack program child/dog’s name

13. Denial of Service Preventing you (and others) from using your own computers Mail Bombs Flooding a Systems Queues, Processes, etc. –Internet Worm –Distributed denial of service (CNN/Ebay/Yahoo) Limited Number of Login Attempts –they either get in, or they can force denial of service to everyone else!

14. Information Theft Stealing Password Files –download for offline cracking Packet Sniffers –Ethernet is a party line –A switch is your friend.

15. Types of Attackers Joyriders –bored, looking for amusement Vandals –like destroying things, or don’t like you Score Keepers –bragging rights Spies –industrial and international

16. Stupidity and Accidents 55% of all incidents result from naivete or lack of training Apple’s buggy mail server –hundreds of thousands of error messages Any system which doesn’t not assign passwords. Hard to Protect Against!

17. Firewalls Overview Various Firewall Architectures

18. Overview How to Protect Your Intranet Assets? –no security –security through obscurity –host security –network security Your home is an intranet?

19. Overview No Security Security Through Obscurity –nobody knows about it –people figure a small company or home machine isn’t of interest –“obscurity” impossible on Internet InterNIC –examples with Telnet

20. Overview Host Security –geared to particular host –scalability issue –admin nightmare sheer numbers different OS, OS config, etc. –OK for small sites or sites with extreme requirements

21. Overview Network Security –control network access –kill lots of birds with one stone –firewalls Security Technology Can’t Do It All –policing internal time wasting, pranks, etc. –no model is perfect –Who watches the watcher?

22. Overview Internet Firewalls –concept: containment choke point –prevents dangers of Internet from spreading to your Intranet –restricts people to entering at carefully controlled point(s) can only leave that point too

23. Overview Firewall –prevents attackers from getting close to internal defenses –adequate if interactions conform to security policy (tight vs. loose) Consists of –hardware routers, computers, networks –software proxy servers, monitors

25. Firewall System Exterior Router & Bastion Host may be combined.

27. Overview Firewall Limitations –malicious insiders –people going around it (e.g., modems) –completely new threats designed to protect against known threats –viruses Make vs. Buy –lots of offerings (see Internet)

28. Various Firewall Architectures Screening Router Packet Filtering Proxy Services –application level gateways Dual-Home Host Screened Host Screened Subnet

29. Various Firewall Architectures IP Packet Filtering IP source address IP destination address Transport Layer Protocol TCP / UDP source port TCP / UDP destination port ICMP message type

30. Various Firewall Architectures IP Packet Filtering Also Knows … –inbound and outbound interfaces Examples –block all incoming connection from outside except SMTP –block all connections to or from untrusted systems –allow SMTP, FTP, but block TFTP, X Windows, RPC, rlogin, rsh, etc.

31. Various Firewall Architectures Dual-Homed Host One Computer, Two Networks –must proxy services –can examine data coming in from app level on down

33. Various Firewall Architectures Screened Host Bastion Host –controls connections to outside world –If broken, your interior network is open. Packet Filtering by Router –incoming

35. Various Firewall Architectures Screened Subnet Bastion Host –controls connections to outside world –on perimeter network Packet Filtering –two routers –incoming
