4.  Router ◦ Connects one network to another  Is a Switch ◦ Sends frames between computers  Is a Wireless Access Point (WAP) ◦ Signals are spread wide increasing danger  Contains a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) ◦ Provides each host an IP address  Provides Network Address Translation (NAT) ◦ Hides IP address from attack Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 4

5. 5 Note: this wiring is unshielded. Meaning it is vulnerable

6.  LAN (Local Area Network) ◦ Operate within building not across geographic locations  WAN (Wide Area Network, internet) ◦ Operate across geographic locations ◦ Because corporations don’t have regulatory rights to lay network lines in public areas they rely on commercial companies  Internet ◦ Network of Network’s Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 6

7. 7 Workgroup Switch: connect computers to the network Core Switch: Connect switches to other switches Any computer can plug into a wall jack and potentially gain access to the network. 802.1x requires any computer to first authenticate before gaining access to the network

14.  Networks must “talk” with each other ◦ Interoperability  Requires Standards  Standards Security Issues: 1.Is it inherently secureinherently  an essential constituent or characteristic 2.Explicitly designed into standard 3.If added “after-the-fact” usually to newer versions going forward 4.Vendor implementations can be defective Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 14

17. Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 17 Switched Network 1 Data Link Physical LinkFrame In a single network (LAN or WAN), a physical link connects adjacent devices. A data link is the path that a frame takes across a single network. One data link; three physical links.

18.  Device Connection Types ◦ UTP  Links between computers and switches  Uses voltage changes (high vs low)  Act like radio antennas, so signal can be intercepted without tapping ◦ Optical Fiber  Uses light changes (on or off)  Require tapping for interception of data ◦ Wireless  Uses radio waves for transmission  Spread widely and easily intercepted Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 18

19.  Internet ◦ How routers forward packets ◦ Main standard is Internet Protocol (IP)  Transport ◦ Main standard is Transport Control Protocol (TCP)  Fixes transmission errors  Ensures proper order of packets  Slows transmission if necessary ◦ For transmissions that do NOT require these capabilities will use  User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 19

20.  Connection-Oriented ◦ Requires agreement for transmission to commence ◦ Monitors transmission for errors to ensure Reliability of transmission  Connectionless ◦ Does NOT require agreement, transmission occurs when needed ◦ No monitoring of transmission for errors occurs Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 20

21.  Connectionless  Unreliable  Purpose ◦ How are packets organized ◦ How routers move packets to destination host  Versions ◦ IPv4  32 bit address size 2 32 = 4,294,967,296 ◦ IPv6  128 bit address size 2 128 = 3.4e+38 Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 21

24.  Represented as 32 bit rows  Consists of: ◦ Header consists of 5 rows  May have optional rows ◦ Data Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 24

25.  Version ◦ 0100 = 4  Header Length (usually 5 rows) ◦ 0101 = 5 ◦ More than 5 rows usually indicates an attack so examining this part of the header is important to detect attacks  Diff-Serv ◦ Rarely uses intended to provide priority to different packets (Network Neutrality)  Total Length ◦ Length of (entire packet - header) in bytes ◦ Maximum size of a packet is 2 16 = 65,536 Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 25

26.  Used if a packet is too large and is divided into smaller packets  This is rare and can indicate an attack  Most O/S don’t allow fragmentation Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 26

27.  Time to Live (TTL) ◦ Set to a value between 0 and 255  Usually set to 64 or 128 by O/D ◦ As packet moves from router to router ◦ TTL decremented by 1 ◦ If TTL reaches 0 the packet is discarded ◦ Attackers can determine how many router hops are between hacker and victim host by examining TTL and guessing 64 or 128 so…  Protocol Message  Header ChecksumChecksum Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 27

28.  Each Address is 32 bits long  111111110000000011 11111100000000  Kind of hard to remember so…  Divided into 4 8 bit segments & converted to decimal (0 to 255)  132.170.217.166 132.170.217.166  www.bus.ucf.edu  4 segments divided into a mask ◦ First 2 are for the network ◦ 132.170 = UCF ◦ 217 = College of Business ◦ 166 = Web Server Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 201028

29. Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 29 Payload length = Total Length from IPv4 Hop Limit = TTL from IPv4 Note there is no Checksum Reliability is assumed from higher level security

30.  Unlike IPv4 IPv6 utilized optional header rows  One such use is for IPSec  Remember that IP was developed without Security  IPSec was added later to provide security ◦ Everything in the data field of the packet is Secure ◦ Application message is also secure ◦ Two Modes:  Transport – host to host protection  Tunnel – protection between hosts  Details in Chapter 4 Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 30

31.  Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) ◦ Connection-oriented, reliable ◦ TCP message is called a Segment  User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ◦ Connectionless, unreliable Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 31

34.  Hacker floods victim host with SYN messages  The victim host ◦ Sends SYN, ACK & ◦ Sets aside resources for the upcoming message  Hacker never sends ACK back ◦ Half-open SYN attack Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 34

Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 38 PC Transport Process Webserver Transport Process Close (1) RST Abrupt Close Either side can send A Reset (RST) Segment At Any Time Ends the Session Immediately Rejection of a SYN (from an untrusted host) with a RST will provide Hacker with IP address of internal host, something the hacker tries to get

39.  Sequence Number field ◦ Allows for segments to be put together in order  First segment uses a randomly generated number  If segment contains no data (SYN, ACK, etc)  number is 1 + last segment  If segment contains data  Number of first octet (byte) for the data field is used  Acknowledgement Number field ◦ Enables verification that a segment has arrived  Number of last octet (byte) for the data field + 1 Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 39

44.  There is NO security built into the standard  Security is instead provided by IPSec in the IP standard since it secures the data package where the TCP segment is contained. Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 44

47.  Ping ◦ Are you there?  Traceroute ◦ How do packets go from my client to a host  ICMP messages contain error messages back to originator ◦ Hackers can send mal-formed ICMP message hoping to identify IP address of host Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 47

48. Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 48

49.  Organized Hierarchically ◦ 13 DNS Root Servers ◦ Top-level Domain Servers (.com,.edu, etc.) ◦ Second-level (University of Central Florida)  Need to know the names of host computers within its own network  Cache Poisoning occurs if an attacker replaces an IP address on the DNS with a fake one Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010 49

52. Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010  Application Exploits ◦ By taking over applications, hackers gain the permissions of the exploited program ◦ A multitude of application standards ◦ Consequently, there is a multitude of security issues at the application level 52

53. Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010  Many Applications Need Two Types of Standards ◦ One for the transmission of messages, one for the content of application documents ◦ For the World Wide Web, these are HTTP and HTML, respectively ◦ For transmission, e-mail uses SMTP, POP, and IMAP ◦ For message content, e-mail uses RFC 2822 (all- text), HTML, and MIME 53

54. Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010  FTP and Telnet ◦ Have no security ◦ Passwords are transmitted in the clear so can be captured by sniffers ◦ Secure Shell (SSH) can replace both securely  Anyone remember what happened with HB Gary and SSH? 54

55. Copyright Pearson Prentice-Hall 2010  Many Other Application Standards Have Security Issues ◦ Voice over IP ◦ Service-oriented architecture (SOA); web services ◦ Peer-to-peer applications 55
