  • Spam and phishing
  • Denial of service

3
Adversaries and Poisoning Outline
  • Introduction Internet vs. Security ?
  • Adversary capabilities / models
  • Sniffing
  • ARP poisoning
  • DNS poisoning

4
Internet and Security
  • Internet began as a US DoD project in the 1970s
  • Main concern was survivability to a physical
    (atomic) attack
  • Decentralized for survivability
  • Centralized design is simpler, and was already
    known (IBMs SNA)
  • Would not survive atomic bomb on center of Net
  • Hence distributed routing, directory, etc.
  • Connectivity and usability before security

5
Internet and Security Guidelines
  • Decentralized for survivability
  • Connectivity and usability before security
  • Accept from everybody, forward to everybody
  • This holds for Packets (IP), email, etc.
  • Does not validate packet/email source addresses
  • This allows spoofing, but also ensures
    survivability
  • Assumption attackers external to Network
  • Computers are well protected and managed securely

6
Today The Internet is Vulnerable
  • Internet is global, open, everybody online
  • Including the attackers!
  • Computers are unprotected, unmanaged
  • Insecure platforms (Windows, IE)
  • Naïve users
  • Many, untrusted clients and peers
  • Many threats / attacks

7
Acute Threats and Attacks
Ads and phishing
DoS
Spam
Denial of Service(hate, compete, blackmail)
Malware
Con-Sites
Fake (spoofed) sites, Scam/fraud sites
Virus, Trojan, Worm, Spyware,
Intrusion
8
Threats are Related
DoS
Spam
Malware
Con-Sites
Intrusion
9
Private Network Threats
  • Pre-Internet Private Networks
  • All processors belong to corporation ? trusted
  • Attackers
  • Remote client (guess password, control
    systemmovies?)
  • Eavesdropper (sniffer) in proximity of wiring
  • Insider (controls machine) main threat to
    private network
  • Threat use of that machine to attack more
    machines

10
Sniffing Requires Proximity
  • Sniffing
  • Eavesdropping to particular segment/net
  • Easy if adversary has access to shared media
  • No hardware Promiscuous mode
  • Listen to packets for all destinations
  • Available with most network adapters
  • Man In The Middle (MITM) attacker for shared
    media
  • Access to shared media
  • Wireless links (home, café, campus, corporate)
  • Or adv in same collision domain as
    sender/recipient
  • Same Ethernet cable or same hub
  • Or, hardware sniffing
  • E.g. long-range WiFi sniffing (war-driving)
    easy!

11
Switches and Traffic Isolation
  • Packets broadcasted inside segments
  • Traffic isolation forward only as needed
  • By learning the link addresses in each segment
  • Goals performance and security
  • MITM on specific segment, blind on others

Switch
Eve
Alice
Bob
12
Switched Networks and Blind Attackers
  • Consider network connected by switches/routers
  • Easy Blind Adversary only inject, cant
    eavesdrop
  • Send packet with false IP (and/or MAC) address
  • Harder, rare Man In The Middle (MITM) Adversary
  • Also receive packets sent to victims IP/MAC
    address

Eve
Alice
Bob
13
Adversary Capabilities / Models
  • Corruptions (of processors / parties)
  • Internal vs. External Adversary
  • Limits on internal (how many or which)
  • In internet adversary has machine, addresses
  • Internal adv specific machine / network
  • Link/network adversary models
  • Man In The Middle (MITM) inject, modify, listen
  • Eavesdropping/passive adversary listen only
  • Blind/spoofing adversary inject only

14
Adversarial Capabilities, Models
15
Adversarial Model vs. Network Type
Shared(private) Switched Internet(routers)
MITM (spoof, sniff, block) Rare Rare Rare
Sniffer / eavesdropper (no spoof) Common Rare (exc. same seg.) Rare
Spoofer / Blind Rare Common Common
Client only Always Always Always
Network
Adversary
16
MITM in Spite of Switch?
  • Switch ? isolation ? blind attacker
  • How blind attacker becomes MITM?
  • Degradation attack many switches change to Hub
    behavior if MAC table too large
  • Poisoning Attacks
  • Achieve MITM capabilities by poisoning address
    resolution
  • IP address ?MAC address (ARP Poisoning)
  • Domain name ? IP address (DNS Poisoning)
  • For internets too (connected by routers)

17
Adversaries and Poisoning Outline
  • Introduction Internet vs. Security ?
  • Adversary capabilities / models
  • Sniffing
  • ARP poisoning
  • Quick refresh on ARP (skip this)
  • ARP methods and defenses
  • DNS poisoning

18
Addresses in Data Link Layer
  • 32-bit IP address
  • network-layer address
  • used to route to destination network
  • LAN (or MAC or physical or Ethernet) address
  • To identify source destination on same network
  • Known to the adapter (e.g. in PROM)
  • Most LANs 48 bits, global address space
  • Few LANs configurable, e.g. as function of IP
    addr
  • Special broadcast address send to all nodes
  • Used for address resolution (ARP)

19
Address Resolution Table
  • Each host maintains its own address resolution
    table
  • Each entry correlates between IP address and MAC
    address
  • In an entry there is a field that marks the way
    the entry was created (Static or Dynamic)
  • Example

IP Address
MAC Address
TTL
1.1.24.1
00307b91bd6c
800
1.1.24.65
0060e1009c70
---
1.1.24.223
0060e1000791
803
20
ARP Address Resolution Protocol
  • Each IP node (Host, Router) on LAN has ARP table
  • ARP Table IP/MAC address mappings for some LAN
    nodes
  • lt IP address MAC address TTLgt
  • TTL (Time To Live) time after which address
    mapping will be forgotten (typically 20 min)

21
ARP Mechanism
Broadcast Request Sender IP, Sender MAC, Target
IP
C learns As IP, MAC B, D could also learn,
butusually dont (since they maynot send to A).
A
B
C
D
Unicast Response
A learns Cs IP, MAC
A
B
C
D
22
ARP protocol (RFC 826)
  • A wants to send datagram to B, knows Bs IP
    address.
  • B on same subnet but her MAC addr not in As
    table
  • A broadcasts ARP query packet, with B's IP
    address
  • all machines on subnet receive ARP query
  • B receives ARP query, replies to A with its (B's)
    MAC address
  • Sent to As MAC address (unicast)
  • A caches ltIP,MACgt in ARP table
  • soft state throw if not used for some time
  • Plug-and-play

23
ARP Poisoning Attack
  • Attackers are often on isolated segments
  • How to intercept traffic from Alice to Bob?
  • Trick Alice into sending to Eves MAC address
  • ARP poisoning attack
  • Alice uses ARP broadcast to find Bob
  • Eve answers? Alice uses Eves Link address
  • Eve can forward to Bob ?becomes MITM

Switch

Alice
Bob
24
ARP Poisoning Methods
  • Unsolicited
  • Send ARP request with false senders IP
  • (some) hosts use to update their ARP tables
  • Send ARP response with incorrect mapping
  • Unsolicited (some) hosts update their ARP table
    even if they didnt make request
  • Solution ignore unsolicitated mappings
  • Response to ARP request
  • Mapping to attackers MAC address
  • Send upon hearing / expecting request
  • Race with legitimate reply
  • Improve chances by loading destinations
    segment/host

25
Preventing MITM via ARP Poisoning
  • Static address resolution tables (IP?MAC)
  • Monitoring to detect ARP-poisoning packets, ports
  • Port security mechanisms in switch
  • Block unsolicited mappings
  • Disconnect port which attempts ARP poisoning
  • Allow only one MAC address per port
  • Limit rate of ARP requests/responses per port
  • Block ARP requests/responses conflicting with
    DHCP
  • Separate networks by routers, not switch!
  • May try DNS-Poisoning instead

26
Port Security Mechanisms
  • Block unsolicited mappings
  • Disconnect port which attempts ARP poisoning
  • Allow only one MAC address per port
  • Limit rate of ARP requests/responses per port
  • Block ARP requests/responses conflicting with
    DHCP
  • Notice spoofing DHCP responses would allow
    similar attack prevent by allowing DHCP
    responses only from trusted port

27
Preventing MITM via ARP Poisoning
  • Static address resolution tables (IP?MAC)
  • Ignore unsolicitated mappings in responses,
    requests
  • Requires change in every host ?
  • Monitoring to detect ARP-poisoning packets, ports
  • Port security mechanisms in switch
  • Block unsolicited mappings
  • Disconnect port which attempts ARP poisoning
  • Allow only one MAC address per port
  • Limit rate of ARP requests/responses per port
  • Block ARP requests/responses conflicting with
    DHCP
  • Notice spoofing DHCP responses would allow
    similar attack prevent by allowing DHCP
    responses only from trusted port
  • Work best in switched LANs (no hubs/shared
    segments)
  • Separate networks by routers, not switch!
  • Cant ARP-Poison from separate subnet
  • May try DNS-Poisoning instead

Adversaries and Poisoning Outline
  • Introduction Internet vs. Security ?
  • Adversary capabilities / models
  • Sniffing
  • ARP poisoning
  • DNS poisoning
  • Reminder DNS (skip this)
  • DNS security goals
  • DNS poisoning by out-of-bailiwick glue RR
  • DNS poisoning by spoofed responses

DNS Resolution Process
Root Server
.com TLD Server 132.3.3.4
Authoritative ns.bob.com Server 156.4.5.6
Client
Local Server
Resolve A www.bob.com
Resolve NS com
NS 132.3.3.4
Resolve A www.bob.com
NS ns.bob.com A 156.4.5.6
Resolve A www.bob.com
A 156.6.6.6 (IP of www.bob.com)
Request to 156.6.6.6 (www.bob.com)
30
Domain Names and IP Addresses
  • IP packets contain source, dest IP addresses
  • 32 bits, e.g. 128.33.44.223
  • Routers use IP Addresses
  • To deliver packets to their destinations
  • Users use Domain Names, e.g. www.foo.edu
  • Domain Names are hierarchical, and
  • Meaningful .edu university, www. web server
  • Easier to manage, remember and use
  • DNS Map domain names to IP addresses
  • Fixed IP, current IP, best IP (e.g. proximity)

31
DNS Caching
  • Caching is critical for DNS performance
  • All DNS modules perform caching
  • Client DNS Cache
  • Local DNS Server Cache
  • DNS server used only to cache records
  • Clients always access this server
  • May be nested ( ? DNS.foo.edu ? ISP DNS)
  • Caching is of DNS Resource Records (RR)

32
Reverse DNS
  • Reverse DNS query IP ? name
  • How? PTR query to in-addr.arpa domain
  • E.g., rDNS for IP1.2.3.4 DNS query for PTR
    record for address 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa
  • Note reverse order of address bytes (why?)
  • 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa controlled by ISP/owner
  • Use for security
  • Servers should have rDNS to domain name
  • Use rDNS to identify (dial-in, DSL,) clients

33
DNS Messages
  • DNS protocol send request, receive reply
  • Single format for requests replies

RR (Resource Record)
34
DNS Security Goals
  • Authenticity
  • Owners should control mappings (name ?IP)
  • DNS-Security cryptographically-signed DNS RR
  • To ensure security against MITM attacker
  • Although MITM attacker can forget IP addresses
    anyway
  • See few extra foils after conclusions
  • Availability
  • Prevent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks
  • Non-Goal Confidentiality
  • Protocol allows any server to query any other
  • Servers may restrict distribution
  • Encrypt records if needed (non-standard)
  • No support for hiding requests
  • Undesirable allowing whats there? query

35
MITM via DNS Poisoning
  • Allows blind attacker to become MITM
  • Web spoofing / phishing attacks
  • Spoof blacklist responses,

36
Poisoning by out-of-bailiwick glue RR
  • Normally RR is received to fulfill request
  • Gratuitous RR received without request
  • In response to different request or appended to a
    DNS request
  • Use to send glue RR to help resolve referred-to
    NS
  • Query x.foo.co.il A ?
  • Authority foo.co.il NS ns.foo.com, foo.co.il NS
    dns.foo.co.il
  • Additional ns.foo.com A 1.2.3.4, dns.foo.co.il A
    5.6.7.8
  • These are glue RR providing IP for authority
    NS
  • Abuse poison RR for referred-to NA (ns.foo.com)
  • Since 1997 (most) servers accept (glue) RR only
    if in-bailiwick in domain of same name server
  • In above example accept only dns.foo.co.il A
    5.6.7.8
  • If spoofed attacker can poison every address of
    foo.co.il!

Adversaries and Poisoning Outline
  • Introduction Internet vs. Security ?
  • Adversary capabilities / models
  • Sniffing
  • ARP poisoning
  • DNS poisoning
  • Reminder DNS (skip this)
  • DNS security goals
  • DNS poisoning by out-of-bailiwick glue RR
  • DNS poisoning by spoofed responses

38
Poisoning by Spoofed Response
  • Would local server eat it?
  • RFC 5452 read! Local server must validate
  • Same question section as in request
  • Same (16-bit) ID field
  • Local server must choose ID randomly
  • Same dest IP address and port as source in
    request
  • Chosen randomly preferably pool of IPs
  • Same IP address of responding DNS server
  • Most domains have 2-3 likely-to-be-used servers
  • Response received within reasonable delay
  • And ignore if already received valid response for
    this query

39
Poisoning by Spoofed Response
  • RFC 5452 read! Local server must validate
  • Same question section as in request
  • Same (16-bit) ID field
  • Same dest IP address and port as source in
    request
  • Same IP address of responding DNS server
  • Response received within reasonable delay
  • All these wont help if attacker can eavesdrop
    (or MITM) notes
  • Reality most servers used fixed source port
  • Or predictable ports, e.g. consecutively
  • Or dont confirm port etc. on responses
  • Till Kaminskys attack, patch 2008
  • Many still do (30?)

40
Response Authentication for Blind Adv.
  • Prevent spoofing of response by blind adversary
  • General technique used by DNS (this lecture),
    TCP,
  • Alice sends request with random nonceAlice
  • Referred to as challenge
  • Explicit (e.g. DNS identifier, TCP ISN), implicit
    (port , IP)
  • Bob reply with nonceAlice
  • Alice knows reply is fresh from Bob!
  • Critical random, sufficient-long challenges
    (nonces)
  • Well discuss relevant attacks on DNS (next), TCP
    (later)

41
Kaminskys attack
Init i1
1. Determine (small) set P of DNS requesting ports
2. Sends queries for i".bob.com"
3. Sends many responses (random ID, port in P)
bob.com NS eve.bob.com A 6.6.6.6
4. Test query www.bob.com is resulting IP
6.6.6.6?
ii1
No(failed)
Yes
Poisoning successful!!
42
Spoofed response poisoning analysis
  • I number of distinct IDs (max. 65536)
  • P number of ports (max 65536-102464512)
  • N number of authoritative name servers (2.5)
  • F number of fake packets sent
  • Before local gives up or auth-ns response
    received
  • D number of identical outstanding queries
  • SpoofProbDF/NPI
  • For small values of D.
  • Birthday paradox with SpoofProbgt1/2 if
    D,FgtSQR(NPI)
  • Many local servers allow large D (for stateless
    design)

43
How to send responses in time?
  • Response must be in window of opportunity
  • Could predict request by TTL
  • Attacker can learn since TTL sent to all clients
  • But relatively few windows of opportunity'
  • Can cause request
  • From attacker-controlled machine (zombie), or
  • Open recursive DNS resolution (don't allow!), or
  • Link from webpage or script (visited by user), or
  • Request for MX or other email-initiated domains
  • RFC5321 limit of DNS queries for each ext.
    connection
  • Request non-existing domain (never in cache!)

44
How to beat authoritative DNS?
  • Response must be in window of opportunity
  • I.e., must arrive before auth-DNS's response
  • Can slow down or block response
  • Some DNS servers don't respond to bad domains
  • Can slow down network or server by sending many
    requests (clogging, Denial of Service)
  • Can cause blocking of request/response in NAT
  • NAT can also ruin local DNS port randomization
    and more

  • Sniffing
  • ARP poisoning
  • DNS poisoning
  • Reminder DNS (skip this)
  • DNS security goals
  • DNS poisoning by out-of-bailiwick glue RR
  • DNS poisoning by spoofed responses
  • Kaminskys attack, analysis
  • DNS behind NAT attacks (skip refresh on NAT)

46
IP Addresses / Ports and NAPT
  • IP addresses identify (source, dest) host
  • Ports identify (source, dest) process
  • A port is a 16-bit identifier
  • At beginning of IP payload
  • Fixed server ports
  • HTTP (Web) 80, SMTP (email)25
  • Fixed so client knows port to reach server
    process
  • Client ports assigned (randomly) by OS
  • Network Address/Port Translation (NAPT) share IP
    address, identify host by port

47
NAPT/NAT Network Address (Port) Translation
Goal share IP addresses among multiple
hosts How identify host by port

49
NAT Port Assigning Methods
  • NATs differ on how they allocate, free ports
  • Risks port exhaustion packets misrouting/loss
  • When to free assigned port?
  • TCP can free after closure (RST/FIN)
  • UDP no closure free after inactivity period
  • How to assign external ports?
  • Random-port-assigning NAT
  • Sequential port assigning NAT
  • Port-preserving NAT (when available)
  • Cone NAT
  • If assigned ext-port x to internal (port, srcIP)
    to dstIP
  • Then reassign x (if available) if (port, srcIP)
    sents to newdIP
  • Read RFC 4787, NAT Behavioral Requirements

50
NAT Hole Punching
  • How peers behind NAT communicate?
  • Easy if _one_ of them is not behind NAT
  • Acts as server (known port)
  • If both behind NAT
  • Use help from peer/server not behind NAT
  • Hole punching - allow peers to know port
  • Works (usually) even for 2 levels of NAT
  • Method depends on type of NAT
  • Random-port-assigning NAT impossible?
  • Sequential port assigning NAT - easy
  • Cone NAT possible
  • Port-preserving NAT (when available)

52
Attack on local DNS behind NAT
  • Block NAT to authoritative server (by many
    requests), to delay/block real response
  • Also to funnel to single authoritative server
  • NAT breaks using random source IP
  • More attacks on some types of NAT
  • Sequential port assigning NAT easy
  • breaks port randomization
  • Advanced attacks also on Port-preserving NAT,
    Cone NAT (see paper)

53
Conclusions
  • Internet designed to survive bombs, not virus
  • Many threats
  • Malware
  • Spam and Phishing
  • Fake (spoofed) and malicious servers
  • Intrusion via vulnerabilities
  • Reconnaissance/scan to find vulnerabilities
  • Denial of Service
  • Adversarial models
  • MITM - rarely (initially) available
  • Eavesdropper requires physical proximity
    (unusual)
  • Blind/spoofer common, many ISPs dont filter
    properly
  • Client most common domains and IP addrs are
    cheap

54
Extra foils
  • DNS security

55
DNS-Sec
  • DNS-Sec a proposed Internet standard
  • Goal improve DNS authentication
  • How?
  • Use cryptographic public-key signatures
  • Sign DNS mappings (signature in RR)
  • Use private key of authoritative DNS server
  • Signature in a separate DNS RR
  • Higher layer authoritative server signs servers
    public key
  • Not yet widely deployed

56
Secure DNS Hierarchical Key Distribution
  • DNS RRs contain mapping and signature
  • mapping ltfoo.bar.com,123.45.6.7gt
  • Foo.bar.comRRltmapping, Signbar.com.s(mapping)
  • Resolver needs bar.com.v (public key)
  • How? From its own RR (bar.comRR)
  • bar.comMap ltbar.com,123.45.6.7gt
  • bar.comRRlt bar.comMap, bar.com.v,
    Signcom.v(bar.comMap, bar.com.v)
  • Small problem need top level public keys
  • Other problems
  • Forces specific trust relationship
  • How we know if bar.com has public key??

57
Secure DNS proof of no (signed) RR
  • What if bar.com has no public key?
  • Does not yet support Secure DNS
  • Can send unsigned RR
  • But attacker may also send unsigned RR
  • Even if bar.com does have public key!
  • Proof of no (signed) RR, from bar.comRR?
  • Proposal bar.comRRlt bar.comMap,
    Signcom.v(bar.comMap, NO bar.com.v)
  • Problem efficiency need to sign all keys
  • Worse if we want to prevent replay !

58
Secure DNS proof of no (signed) RR
  • What if bar.com has no public key?
  • Does not yet support Secure DNS
  • Can send unsigned RR
  • But attacker may also send unsigned RR
  • Even if bar.com does have public key!
  • Proof of no (signed) RR, from bar.comRR
  • bar.comMap ltbar.com,123.45.6.7gt
  • bar.comRRlt bar.comMap, NoSigngt
  • NoSignSigncom.v(ba.com,ba.com.v bb.com,
    bb.com.v, time)

59
Secure DNS Identity Exposure Query?
  • Query to unsigned domain bar.com
  • Response NoSignSigncom.v(ba.com,ba.com.v
    bb.com, bb.com.v, time)
  • This exposes the existence of ba.com, bb.com!!
  • Why care??
  • Directed attacks at them
  • Domain name can identify vulnerability
  • E.g. proxy.x.com ? maybe open proxy??
  • Possible solution map h(domain name) why?
  • Example of reconnaissance/scan attack
