  1. Quiz 2 -> Exam Topics Fall 2004

  2. Chapter 10a - Firewalls Simple Firewall - drops packets based on IP, port Stateful - Keeps track of connections, set up inside or outside. NAT - Network Address Translation, Private Address ranges (10. ) Proxy Server - checks application header and data. Attacks - how does Firewall protect against scanning, bad-fragments, bad TCP flags, Smuft attack, ... Host-based Firewalls - xinetd (/etc/hosts.allow), iptables, Zone Alarm, Black Ice (now ISS Desktop Proventia) 2

  3. Chapter 10b - Trusted Systems Subject, Object, Access Rights (permissions) Policy - Access matrix or ACL (access control list) Basic Security Rules: No read up (simple security property) No write down (do not widen accessibility) Need to Know. Reference Monitor, audit file, security kernel database. Requirements to be a “Trusted System”: Complete Mediation, Isolation, Verifiability “Common Criteria” Security Specifications - multinational trust ratings 3

  4. Chapter 11 - TCP/IP Use of bad fragments to crash Operating System (OS). Use of ICMP packets (ping, “unreachable”, “time-out”) Smuft attack (packet multiplication, use of broadcast address). “Spoofed” addresses. TCP Flags - bad combinations to map OS, cause crashes. TCP - Highjacked connection. 4

  5. Chapter 12 - Traffic Visualization Bandwidth versus time (flood attacks). Packets per period - by TCP and UDP port numbers. Therminator - shows unbalance in traffic flow. 5

  6. Chapter 13 - NetSec Utilities What do they do? Tripwire Saint and Satan Nessus Ethereal and “tcpdump” Security Organizations: US-CERT (U.S. Computer Emergency Response Team) SANS NIPC (FBI - Nat. Infrastructure Protection Center) What to do if a host is compromised. Evidence - chain of custody 6

  7. Slide Set 14 - Wireless Security WEP is weak security, but far better than nothing. Use longest key-length possible. Enable use of “allowed list” of MAC addresses. Use higher-layer security - IPsec or SSL. Use a firewall and IDS to isolate wireless access points (WAP’s) just like you do for the Internet. Search for “Rogue” WAP’s. 7

  8. Slide set 15 - Hidden Data Hidden Files (on UNIX, name starts with “.”) Startup scripts (great place to hide a Trojan Horse) Covert channels (hide in “Ping” packets, SSH, port 80 FTP) Steganography (hiding data in an image file) Watch for new processes, files (particularly “suid” files), open Internet TCP and UDP ports. 8

  9. Slide set 16 - Safe Computing Buffer Overflow(what is it, what does it do) How to code to prevent possibility of a “Buffer Overflow” Eliminate unneeded daemons, “suid programs,” open ports, and user accounts. Enforce long, mixed-character passwords. Explain “Once root, always root” 9
