The well known botnet Sality, which locates vulnerable voice-over-IP (VoIP) servers can be controlled to find the entire IPv4 address space without alerting, claimed a

new study, published by Paritynews.com on October 10, 2012.

Sality is a piece of malware whose primary aim is to infect web servers, disperse spam, and steal data. But the latest research disclosed other purposes of the same including

recognizing susceptible VoIP targets, which could be used in toll fraud attacks. Through a method called "reverse-byte order scanning," sality has administered towards scanning possibly the whole IPv4 space devoid of being recognized. That's only the reason the technique uses very less number of packets that come from various sources.

The selection of the target IP addresses is generated in reverse-byte-order increments. Also, there are large amounts of bots contributing in the scan. http://www.spamfighter.com

Sality is a piece of malware with the primary aim of infecting web servers, dispersing spam, and stealing data. But the latest research has disclosed other purposes, including recognizing susceptible VoIP targets that could be used in toll fraud attacks. Through a method called "reverse-byte order scanning," Sality can be administered toward scanning possibly the whole IPv4 space, devoid of being recognized. That's the only reason the technique uses a very small number of packets that come from various sources. The selection of the target IP addresses develops in reverse-byte-order increments. Also, there are many bots contributing in the scan. The conclusion is that a solitary network would obtain scanning packets "diluted" over a huge period of time (12 days in this case, from various

sources, University of California, San Diego (UCSD), claimed one of the researchers, Alistair King, as published by Softpedia.com on October 9, 2012). According to Alberto Dainotti, it's not that this stealth-scanning method is exceptional, but it's the first time that such a happening has been both noticed and documented, as reported by Darkreading.com on October 4, 2012. Many other experts hold faith that this manner has been accepted by other botnets. Nevertheless, the team at UCSD is not aware of any data verifying any event like this one. According to David Piscitello, Senior Security Technologist at ICANN, this indeed seems to be the first time that researchers have recognized a botnet that utilizes this scanning method by employing reverse-byte sequential increments of target IP addresses. The botnet use classy "orchestration" methods to evade detection. It can be simply stated that the botnet operator categorized the scans at around 3 million bots for scanning the full IPv4 address space through a scanning pattern that disperses coverage and partly covers, but is unable to be noticed by present automation, as published by darkreading.com on October 4, 2012.

Once an attacker identifies his/her target system and does the initial reconnaissance, as discussed in the footprinting and reconnaissance module, the attacker concentrates on getting a mode of entry into the target system. It should be noted that scanning is not limited to intrusion alone. It can be an extended form of reconnaissance where the attacker learns more about his/her target, such as what operating system is used, the services that are being run on the systems, and configuration lapses if any can be identified. The attacker can then strategize his/her attack, factoring in these aspects.

As we already discussed, footprinting is the first phase of hacking in which the attacker gains information about a potential target. Footprinting alone is not enough for hacking because here you will gather only the primary information about the target. You can use this primary information in the next phase to gather many more details about the target. The process of gathering additional details about the target using highly complex and aggressive reconnaissance techniques is called scanning. The idea is to discover exploitable communication channels, to probe as many listeners as possible, and to keep track of the ones that are responsive or useful for hacking. In the scanning phase, you can find various ways of intruding into the target system. You can also discover more about the target system, such as what operating system is used, what services are running, and whether or not there are any configuration lapses in the target system. Based on the facts that you gather, you can form a strategy to launch an attack.

In a traditional sense, the access points that a thief looks for are the doors and windows. These are usually the house's points of vulnerability because of their relatively easy accessibility. W hen it comes to computer systems and networks, ports are the doors and windows of the system that an intruder uses to gain access. The more the ports are open, the more points of vulnerability, and the fewer the ports open, the more secure the system is. This is simply a general rule. In some cases, the level of vulnerability may be high even though few ports are open. Network scanning is one of the most important phases of intelligence gathering. During the network scanning process, you can gather information about specific IP addresses that can be accessed over the Internet, their targets' operating systems, system architecture, and the services running on each computer. In addition, the attacker also gathers details about the networks and their individual host systems. Sends TCP /IP probes

If you have a large amount of information about a target organization, there are greater chances for you to learn the weakness and loopholes of that particular organization, and consequently, for gaining unauthorized access to their network. Before launching the attack, the attacker observes and analyzes the target network from different perspectives by performing different types of reconnaissance. How to perform scanning and what type of information to be achieved during the scanning process entirely depends on the hacker's viewpoint. There may be many objectives for performing scanning, but here we will discuss the most common objectives that are encountered during the hacking phase:

Discovering live hosts, IP address, and open ports of live hosts running on the network.

Discovering open ports: Open ports are the best means to break into a system or network. You can find easy ways to break into the target organization's network by discovering open ports on its network. Discovering operating systems and system architecture of the targeted system: This is also referred to as fingerprinting. Here the attacker will try to launch the attack based on the operating system's vulnerabilities.

ICMP Scanning
All required information about a system can be gathered by sending ICMP packets to it. Since ICMP does not have a port abstraction, this cannot be considered a case of port scanning. However, it is useful to determine which hosts in a network are up by pinging them all (the -P option does this; ICMP scanning is now in parallel, so it can be quick). The user can also increase the number of pings in parallel with the -L option. It can also be helpful to tweak the ping timeout value with the -T option.

ICMP Query
The UNIX tool ICM Pquery or ICMPush can be used to request the time on the system (to find out which time zone the system is in) by sending an ICMP type 13 message (TIMESTAMP). The netmask on a particular system can also be determined with ICMP type 17 messages (ADDRESS MARK REQUEST). After finding the netmask of a network card, one can determine all the subnets in use. After gaining information about the subnets, one can target only one particular subnet and avoid hitting the broadcast addresses. ICMPquery has both a timestamp and address mask request option: icmp query <-query-> [-B] [-f fromhost] [d delay] [-T time] target

W here <query> is one of: -t: icmp timestamp request (default) -m: icmp address mask request -d: delay to sleep between packets is in microseconds. -T - specifies the number of seconds to wait for a host to respond. The default is 5. A target is a list of hostnames or addresses.

P in g Sweep
A ping sweep (also known as an ICM P sweep) is a basic network scanning technique to determine which range of IP addresses map to live hosts (computers). W hile a single ping tells the user whether one specified host computer exists on the network, a ping sweep consists of ICMP ECHO requests sent to multiple hosts.

ICMP ECHO Reply


If a host is active, it returns an ICMP ECHO reply. Ping sweeps are among the oldest and slowest methods to scan a network. This utility is distributed across almost all platforms, and acts like a roll call for systems; a system that is live on the network answers the ping query that is sent by another system.

TCP/IP Packet
To understand ping, you should be able to understand the TCP/IP packet. W hen a system pings, a single packet is sent across the network to a specific IP address. This packet contains 64 bytes, i.e., 56 data bytes and 8 bytes of protocol header information. The sender then waits for a return packet from the target system. A good return packet is expected only when the connections are good and when the targeted system is active. Ping also determines the number of hops that lie between the two computers and the round-trip time, i.e., the total time taken by a packet for completing a trip. Ping can also be used for resolving host names. In this case, if the packet bounces back when sent to the IP address, but not when sent to the name, then it is an indication that the system is unable to resolve the name to the specific IP address. Source: http://nmap.org Using Nmap Security Scanner you can perform ping sweep. Ping sweep determines the IP addresses of live hosts. This provides information about the live host IP addresses as well as their MAC address. It allows you to scan multiple hosts at a time and determine active hosts on the network.

Three-w ay Handshake Process
1. The Computer A (10.0.0.2) initiates a connection to the server (10.0.0.3) via a packet with only the SYN flag set 2. The server replies with a packet with both the SYN and the ACK flag set 3. For the final step, the client responds back to the server with a single ACK packet 4. If these three steps are completed without complication, then a TCP connection is established between the client and the server

TCP is connection-oriented, which implies connection establishment is principal prior to data transfer between applications. This connection is possible through the process of the three-way handshake. The three-way handshake is implemented for establishing the connection between protocols.

The three-way handshake process goes as follows:


9 To launch a TCP connection, the source (10.0.0.2:62000) sends a SYN packet to the destination (10.0.0.3:21). 9 The destination, on receiving the SYN packet, i.e., sent by the source, responds by sending a SYN/ACK packet back to the source. 9 9 This ACK packet confirms the arrival of the first SYN packet to the source. In conclusion, the source sends an ACK packet for the ACK/SYN packet sent by the destination. 9 This triggers an "O PEN " connection allowing communication between the source and the destination, until either of them issues a "FIN" packet or a "RST" packet to close the connection.

The TCP protocol maintains stateful connections for all connection-oriented protocols across the Internet, and works the same as an ordinary telephone communication, in which one picks up a telephone receiver, hears a dial tone, and dials a number that triggers ringing at the other end until a person picks up the receiver and says, "Hello."

FIGURE 3.8: Three-way Handshake Process

E stablishing a TCP Connection


As we previously discussed, a TCP connection is established based on the three-way hand shake method. It is clear from the name of the connection method that the establishment of the connection is accomplished in three main steps. Source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/172983 The following three frames will explain the establishment of a TCP connection between nodes NTW3 and BDC3:

Frame 1:
In the first step, the client, NTW3, sends a SYN segment (TCP ....S.). This is a request to the server to synchronize the sequence numbers. It specifies its Initial Sequence Number (ISN), which is incremented by 1 and that is sent to the server. To initialize a connection, the client and server must synchronize each other's sequence numbers. There is also an option for the

Maximum Segment Size (MSS) to be set, which is defined by the length (len: 4), this option communicates the maximum segment size the sender wants to receive. The Acknowledgement field (ack: 0) is set to zero because this is the first part of the three-way handshake.

Frame 2:
In the second step, the server, BDC3, sends an ACK and a SYN on this segment (TCP .A..S.). In this segment the server is acknowledging the request of the client for synchronization. At the same time, the server is also sending its request to the client for synchronization of its sequence numbers. There is one major difference in this segment. The server transmits an acknowledgement number (8221823) to the client. The acknowledgement is just proof to the client that the ACK is specific to the SYN the client initiated. The process of acknowledging the client's request allows the server to increment the client's sequence number by one and uses it as its acknowledgement number.

Frame 3:
In the third step, the client sends an ACK on this segment (TCP .A....). In this segment, the client is acknowledging the request from the server for synchronization. The client uses the same algorithm the server implemented in providing an acknowledgement number. The client's acknowledgment of the server's request for synchronization completes the process of establishing a reliable connection, thus the three-way handshake.

Standard TCP communications monitor the TCP packet header that holds the flags. These flags govern the connection between hosts, and give instructions to the system. The following are the TCP communication flags: 9 9 Synchronize alias "SYN": SYN notifies transmission of a new sequence number Acknowledgement alias "ACK": next expected sequence number 9 9 Push alias "PSH ": System accepting requests and forwarding buffered data Urgent alias "U RG ": Instructs data contained in packets to be processed as soon as possible Q Q Finish alias "FIN": Announces no more transmissions will be sent to remote system Reset alias "RST": Resets a connection ACK confirms receipt of transmission, and identifies

SYN scanning mainly deals with three of the flags, namely, SYN, ACK, and RST. You can use these three flags for gathering illegal information from servers during the enumeration process.

H ping2/H ping3
Source: http://www.hping.org HPing2/HPing3 is a command-line-oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer that sends ICMP echo requests and supports TCP, UDP, ICMP, and raw-IP protocols. It has Traceroute mode, and enables you to send files between covert channels. It has the ability to send custom TCP/IP packets and display target replies like a ping program does with ICMP replies. It handles fragmentation, arbitrary packets' body and size, and can be used in order to transfer encapsulated files under supported protocols. It supports idle host scanning. IP spoofing and network/host scanning can be used to perform an anonymous probe for services. An attacker studies the behavior of an idle host to gain information about the target such as the services that the host offers, the ports supporting the services, and the operating system of the target. This type of scan is a predecessor to either heavier probing or outright attacks. Features: The following are some of the features of HPing2/HPing3: 0 0 Determines whether the host is up even when the host blocks ICMP packets Advanced port scanning and test net performance using different protocols, packet sizes, TOS, and fragmentation

ICM P Scanning A ping sweep or Internet Control Message Protocol (ICM P) scanning is a process of sending an ICMP request or ping to all hosts on the network to determine which one is up. This protocol is used by operating system, router, switch, internet-protocol-based devices via the ping command to Echo request and Echo response as a connectivity tester between different hosts. The following screenshot shows ICMP scanning using the Hping3 tool:

ACK Scanning on Port 80 You can use this scan technique to probe for the existence of a firewall and its rule sets. Simple packet filtering will allow you to establish connection (packets with the ACK bit set), whereas a sophisticated stateful firewall will not allow you to establish a connection.

Scanning is the process of gathering information about the systems that are alive and responding on the network. The port scanning techniques are designed to identify the open ports on a targeted server or host. This is often used by administrators to verify security policies of their networks and by attackers to identify running services on a host with the intent of compromising it.

Different types of scanning techniques employed include:


TCP Connect / Full Open Scan Stealth Scans: SYN Scan (Half-open Scan); XMAS Scan, FIN Scan, NULL Scan IDLE Scan ICMP Echo Scanning/List Scan

TCP Connect / Full Open Scan


Source: http://www.insecure.org TCP Connect / Full Open Scan is one of the most reliable forms of TCP scanning. The TCP connect() system call provided by an OS is used to open a connection to every interesting port on the machine. If the port is listening, connect() will succeed; otherwise, the port isn't reachable.

mm

TCP Three-way Handshake


In the TCP three-way handshake, the client sends a SYN flag, which is acknowledged

by a SYN+ACK flag by the server which, in turn, is acknowledged by the client with an ACK flag to complete the connection. You can establish a connection from both ends, and terminate from both ends individually.

Vanilla Scanning
In vanilla scanning, once the handshake is completed, the client ends the connection. If the connection is not established, then the scanned machine will be DoS'd, which allows you to make a new socket to be created/called. This confirms you with an open port to be scanned for a running service. The process will continue until the maximum port threshold is reached.

If the port is closed the server responds with an RST+ACK flag (RST stands for "Reset the connection"), whereas the client responds with a RST flag and here ends the connection. This is created by a TCP connect () system call and will be identified instantaneously if the port is opened or closed. Making separate connects() call for every targeted port in a linear fashion would take a long time over a slow connection. The attacker can accelerate the scan by using many sockets in parallel. Using non-blocking, I/O allows the attacker to set a low time-out period and watch all the sockets simultaneously.

u is d a v d it ia g e s
The drawback of this type of scan is easily detectable and filterable. The logs in the

target system will disclose the connection.

Stealth Scan (Half-Open Scan)


Stealth scan sends a single frame to a TCP port without any TCP handshaking or additional packet transfers. This is a scan type that sends a single frame with the expectation of a single response. The half-open scan partially opens a connection, but stops halfway through. This is also known as a SYN scan because it only sends the SYN packet. This stops the service from ever being notified of the incoming connection. TCP SYN scans or half-open scanning is a stealth method of port scanning. The three-way handshake methodology is also implemented by the stealth scan. The difference is that in the last stage, remote ports are identified by examining the packets entering the interface and terminating the connection before a new initialization was triggered. The process preludes the following: 9 To start initialization, the client forwards a single "SYN" packet to the destination server on the corresponding port. 9 The server actually initiates the stealth scanning process, depending on the response sent. 9 If the server forwards a "SYN/ACK" response packet, then the port is supposed to be in an "O PEN" state.

X m as Scan
-----Xmas Scan is a port scan technique with ACK, RST, SYN, URG, PSH, and FIN flags set to send a TCP frame to a remote device. If the target port is closed, then you will receive a remote system reply with a RST. You can use this port scan technique to scan large networks and find which host is up and what services it is offering. It is a technique to describe all TCP flag sets. W hen all flags are set, some systems hang; so the flags most often set are the nonsense pattern URG-PSH-FIN. This scan only works when systems are compliant with RFC 793.

BSD Netw orking Code


This method is based on BSD networking code; you can use this only for UNIX hosts and it does not support Windows NT. If this scan is directed at any Microsoft system, it shows all the ports on the host are opened.

Transm itting Packets


You can initialize all the flags when transmitting the packet to a remote host. If the target system accepts packet and does not send any response, the port is open. If the target system sends RST flag, the port is closed.

No Response

In NULL scan, attackers send a TCP frame to a remote host with NO Flags NULL scan only works if OS' TCP/IP implementation is developed according to RFC 793 It will not work against any current version of Microsoft Windows

NULL Scan
NULL scans send TCP packets with all flags turned off. It is assumed that closed ports will return a TCP RST. Packets received by open ports are discarded as invalid. It sets all flags of TCP headers, such as ACK, FIN, RST, SYN, URG and PSH, to NULL or unassigned. W hen any packets arrive at the server, BSD networking code informs the kernel to drop the incoming packet if a port is open, or returns an RST flag if a port is closed. This scan uses flags in the reverse fashion as the Xmas scan, but gives the same output as FIN and Xmas tree scans. Many network codes of major operating systems can behave differently in terms of responding to the packet, e.g., Microsoft versus UNIX. This method does not work for Microsoft operating systems. Command line option for null scanning with NMAP is "-sN"

Advantage:
It avoids IDS and TCP three-way handshake.

Disadvantage:
It works only for UNIX.

IDLE Scan
The idle scan is a TCP port scan method that you can use to send a spoofed source address to a computer to find out what services are available and offers complete blind scanning of a remote host. This is accomplished by impersonating another computer. No packet is sent from your own IP address; instead, another host is used, often called a "zombie," to scan the remote host and determine the open ports. This is done by expecting the sequence numbers of the zombie host and if the remote host checks the IP of the scanning party, the IP of the zombie machine will show up.

Understanding TCP/IP
Source: http://nmap.org Idle scanning is a sophisticated port scanning method. You do not need to be a TCP/IP expert to understand it. You need to understand the following basic facts: Q Most of the network servers listen on TCP ports, such as web servers on port 80 and mail servers on port 25. A port is considered "open" if an application is listening on the port; otherwise it is closed.

To determine whether a port is open, send a session establishment "SYN" packet to the port. The target machine responds with a session request acknowledgment "SYN|ACK" packet if the port is open and a Reset "RST" packet if the port is closed.

A machine that receives an unsolicited SYN|ACK packet responds with an RST. An unsolicited RST is ignored.

Every IP packet on the Internet has a "fragment identification" number. Many operating systems simply increment this number for every packet they send. So probing for this number can tell an attacker how many packets have been sent since the last probe.

From these facts, it is possible to scan a target network while forging your identity so that it looks like an innocent "zombie" machine did the scanning.

Copyright by EG-G*ancil. All Rights Reserved. Reproduction Is Strictly Prohibited

ICMP echo scanning is used to discover live machines by pinging all the machines in the target network. Attackers send ICMP probes to the broadcast or network address which is relayed to all the host addresses in the subnet. The live systems will send ICMP echo reply message to the source of ICMP echo probe. ICMP echo scanning is used in UNIX/Linux and BSD-based machines as the TCP/IP stack implementations in these operating system responds to the ICMP echo requests to the broadcast addresses. This technique cannot be used in Windows based networks as the TCP/IP stack implementation in windows machines is configured, by default, not to reply ICMP probes directed to the broadcast address. ICMP echo scanning is not referred to as port scanning since it does not have a port abstraction. ICMP echo scanning is useful to determine which hosts in a network are active by pinging them all. The active hosts in the network is displayed in Zenmap as "Host is up (0.020s latency)." You can observe that in the screenshot:

In a list scan, discovery of the active host in the network is done indirectly. A list scan simply generates and prints a list of IPs/Names without actually pinging the host names or port scanning them. As a result, the list scan output of all the IP addresses will be shown as "not scanned," i.e., (0 hosts up). By default, a reverse DNS resolution is still being carried out on the host by Nmap for learning their names.

There is no three-way TCP handshake ke for UDP scan The system does not respond with a message when the port is open

UDP Port Closed


e if a UDP packet is sent to closed port, the system responds with IC M P port unreachable message Spywares, Trojan horses, and other malicious applications use UDP ports

UDP Scanning
UDP Raw ICMP Port Unreachable Scanning
UDP port scanners use the UDP protocol instead of TCP, and can be more difficult than TCP scanning. You can send a packet, but you cannot determine that the host is alive or dead or filtered. However, there is one ICMP that you can use to determine whether ports are open or closed. If you send a UDP packet to a port without an application bound to it, the IP stack will return an ICMP port unreachable packet. If any port returns an ICMP error, then it's closed, while the ports that didn't answer are either open or filtered by the firewall. This happens because open ports do not have to send an acknowledgement in response to a probe, and closed ports are not even required to send an error packet.

UDP Packets
Source: http://nmap.org W hen you send a packet to a closed UDP port, most of the hosts send an

ICM P_PORT_UNREACH error. Thus, you can find out if a port is NOT open. Neither UDP packets nor the ICMP errors are guaranteed to arrive, so UDP scanners of this sort must also implement the retransmission of packets that appear lost. UDP scanners interpret lost traffic as open ports.

Exam 312-50 Certified Ethical Hacker

In addition, this scanning technique is slow because of limiting the ICMP error message rate as compensation to machines that apply RFC 1812 section 4.3.2.8. A remote host will need to access the raw ICMP socket to distinguish closed from unreachable ports.

UDP RECVFROM () and WRITE () Scanning


W hile non-root users cannot read port unreachable errors directly; Linux informs you indirectly when they receive messages.

Example
For example, a second write () call to a closed port will usually fail. A lot of scanners, such as Netcat and Pluvial pscan.c do recvfrom () on non-blocking UDP sockets, usually return EAGAIN ("Try Again," errno 13) if the ICMP error has not been received, and ECONNREFUSED ("Connection refused," errno 111), if it has. This is the technique used for determining open ports when non-root users use -u (UDP). Root users can also use the I (lamer UDP scan) options to force this.

Advantage:
The UDP scan is less informal regarding an open port, since there's no overhead of a TCP handshake. However, if ICMP is responding to each unavailable port, the number of total frames can exceed a TCP scan. Microsoft-based operating systems do not usually implement any type of ICMP rate limiting, so this scan operates very efficiently on Windows-based devices.

Disadvantage:
The UDP scan provides port information only. If additional version information is needed, the scan must be supplemented with a version detection scan (-sV) or the operating system fingerprinting option (-0). The UDP scan requires privileged access, so this scan option is only available on systems with the appropriate user permissions. Most networks have huge amounts of TCP traffic; as a result, the efficiency of the UDP scan is lost. The UDP scan will locate these open ports and provide the security manager with valuable information that can be used to identify these invasions achieved by the attacker on open UDP ports caused by spyware applications, Trojan horses, and other malicious software.

Inverse TCP Flag Scanning


Attackers send the TCP probe packets by enabling various TCP flag (FIN, URG, PSH) or with no flags. W hen the port is open, the attacker doesn't get any response from the host, whereas when the port is closed, he or she receives the RST/ACK from the target host. The SYN packets that are sent to the sensitive ports of the targeted hosts are detected by using security mechanisms such as firewalls and IDS. Programs such as Synlogger and Courtney are available to log half-open SYN flag scan attempts. At times, the probe packets enabled with TCP flags can pass through filters undetected, depending on the security mechanisms installed. Probing a target using a half-open SYN flag is known as an inverted technique. It is called this because the closed ports can only send the response back. According to RFC 793, An RST/ACK packet must be sent for connection reset, when the port is closed onhost side. TCP flags set. Common flag configurations used for probe packet include: 9 9 9 A FIN probe with the FIN TCP flag set An XMAS probe with the FIN, URG, and PUSH TCP flags set A NULL probe with no TCP flags set Attackers take advantage of this feature to send TCP probe packets to each port of thetargethost with various

A SYN/ACK probe All the closed ports on the targeted host will send an RST/ACK response. Since the RFC 793 standard is completely ignored in the operating system such as Windows, you cannot see the RST/ACK response when connected to the closed port on the target host. This technique is effective when used with UNIX-based operating systems.

ACK Flag Scanning


A stealthy technique is used for identifying open TCP ports. In this technique a TCP packet with ACK flag ON is sent to the remote host and then the header information of the RST packets sent by remote host are analyzed. Using this technique one can exploit the potential vulnerabilities of BSD derived TCP/IP stack. This technique gives good results when used with certain operating systems and platforms. ACK scanning can be performed in two ways: Q TTL field ananlysis

W IN D O W field analysis Using TTL value one can determine the number of systems the TCP packet traverses. You can send an ACK probe packet with random sequence number: no response means port is filtered (state full firewall is present) and RST response means the port is not filtered,

Port Scanning C ounterm easures


As discussed previously, port scanning provides a lot of useful information such as IP addresses, host names, open ports, etc. to the attacker. Open ports especially provide an easy means for the attacker to break into the security. But there is nothing to worry about, as you can secure your system countermeasures: 9 The firewall should be good enough to detect probes an attacker sends to scan the network. So the firewall should carry out stateful inspection if it has a specific rule set. Some firewalls do a better job than others in detecting stealth scans. Many firewalls have specific options to detect SYN scans, while others completely ignore FIN scans. or network against port scanning by applying the following

Network intrusion detection systems should detect the OS detection method used by tools such as Nmap, etc. Snort (http://.snort.org) is an intrusion detection and prevention technology that can be of great help, mainly because signatures are frequently available from public authors. Only necessary ports should be kept open; the rest of the ports should be filtered as the intruder will try to enter through any open port. This can be accomplished with the custom rule set. Filter inbound ICMP message types and all outbound ICMP type 3 unreachable messages at border routers and firewalls.

So far we have discussed how to check for live systems and open ports, the two common network vulnerabilities. An IDS is the security mechanism intended to prevent an attacker from entering a secure network. But, even the IDS has some limitations in offering security. Attackers are trying to launch attacks by exploiting limitations of IDS.

Q1

IDS Evasion T echniques


Most of the IDS evasion techniques rely on the use fragmented probe packets that

_ _

reassemble once they reach the target host. IDS evasion can also occur with the use of spoofed fake hosts launching network scanning probes.

Use fragmented IP packets


Attackers use different fragmentation methods to evade the IDS. These attacks are similar to session splicing. W ith the help of fragroute, all the probe packets flowing from your host or network can be fragmented. It can also be done with the help of a port scanner with fragmentation feature such as Nmap. This is accomplished because most IDS sensors fail to process large volumes of fragmented packets, as this involves greater CPU consumption and memory at the network sensor level.

Use source routing (if possible)


Source routing is a technique whereby the sender of a packet can specify the route that a packet should take through the network. It is assumed that the source of the packet knows about the layout of the network and can specify the best path for the packet.

SYN/FIN Scanning Using IP Fragm ents


SYN/FIN scanning using IP fragments is a modification of the earlier methods of scanning; the probe packets are further fragmented. This method came into existence to avoid the false positive from other scans, due to a packet filtering device present on the target machine. You have to split the TCP header into several packets instead of just sending a probe packet for avoiding the packet filters. Every TCP header should include the source and destination port for the first packet during any transmission: (8 octet, 64 bit), and the initialized flags in the next, which allow the remote host to reassemble the packet upon receipt through an Internet protocol module that recognizes the fragmented data packets with the help of field equivalent values of protocol, source, destination, and identification.

Fragmented Packets
The TCP header, after splitting into small fragments, is transmitted over the network. But, at times you may observe unpredictable results such as fragmentation of the data in the IP header after the reassembly of IP on the server side. Some hosts may not be capable of parsing and reassembling the fragmented packets, and thus may cause crashes, reboots, or even network device monitoring dumps.

Firewalls
Some firewalls may have rule sets that block IP fragmentation queues in the kernel (like the CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG option in the Linux kernel), although this is not widely implemented due to the adverse effect on performance. Since several intrusions detection systems employ signature-based methods to indicate scanning attempts based on IP and/or the TCP headers, fragmentation is often able to evade this type of packet filtering and detection. There is a probability of network problems on the target network. SYN/FIN (Small IP Fragments) + Port (n) ....................................... < ........................................

Error messages provide information such as type of server, type of OS, and SSL tool used by the target remote system

The responses are then compared with a database to determine the OS Response from different OSes varies due to differences in TCP/IP stack implementation

Banner Grabbing
Banner grabbing or OS fingerprinting is a method to determine the operating system running on a remote target system. Banner grabbing is important for hacking as it provides you with a greater probability of success in hacking. This is because most of the vulnerabilities are OS specific. Therefore, if you know the OS running on the target system, you can hack the system by exploiting the vulnerabilities specific to that operating system. Banner grabbing can be carried out in two ways: either by spotting the banner while trying to connect to a service such as FTP or downloading the binary file/bin/ls to check the architecture with which it was built. Banner grabbing is performed using the fingerprinting technique. A more advanced

fingerprinting technique depends on stack querying, which transfers the packets to the network host and evaluates packets based on the reply. The first stack querying method was designed considering the TCP mode of communication, in which the response of the connection requests is evaluated. The next method was known as ISN (Initial Sequence Number) analysis. This identifies the differences in the random number generators found in the TCP stack. A new method, using the ICMP protocol, is known as ICM P response analysis. It consists of sending the ICMP messages to the remote host and evaluating the reply. The latest ICMP messaging is

known as temporal response analysis. Like others, this method uses the TCP protocol. Temporal response analysis looks at the retransmission timeout (RTO) responses from a remote host. There are two types of banner grabbing techniques available; one is active and the other is passive.

Active Banner Grabbing


Active banner grabbing is based on the principle that an operating system's IP stack has a unique way of responding to specially crafted TCP packets. This arises because of different interpretations that vendors apply while implementing the TCP/IP stack on the particular OS. In active banner grabbing, a variety of malformed packets are sent to the remote host, and the responses are compared to a database. For instance, in Nmap, the OS fingerprint or banner grabbing is done through eight tests. The eight tests are named T l, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, and PU (port unreachable). Each of these tests is illustrated as follows, as described in www.packetwatch.net:

T l: In this test, a TCP packet with the SYN and ECN-Echo flags enabled is sent to an open TCP
port.

T2: It involves sending a TCP packet with no flags enabled to an open TCP port. This type of
packet is known as a NULL packet.

T3: It involves sending a TCP packet with the URG, PSH, SYN, and FIN flags enabled to an open
TCP port.

T4: It involves sending a TCP packet with the ACK flag enabled to an open TCP port. T5: It involves sending a TCP packet with the SYN flag enabled to a closed TCP port. T6: It involves sending a TCP packet with the ACK flag enabled to a closed TCP port. T7: It involves sending a TCP packet with the URG, PSH, and FIN flags enabled to a closed TCP
port.

PU (Port Unreachable): It involves sending a UDP packet to a closed UDP port. The objective is
to extract an "IC M P port unreachable" message from the target machine. The last test that Nmap performs is named TSeq for TCP Sequencability test. This test tries to determine the sequence generation patterns of the TCP initial sequence numbers, also known as TCP ISN sampling, the IP identification numbers (also known as IPID sampling), and the TCP timestamp numbers. The test is performed by sending six TCP packets with the SYN flag enabled to an open TCP port. The objective is to find patterns in the initial sequence of numbers that the TCP

implementations choose while responding to a connection request. These can be categorized into many groups such as the traditional 64K (many old UNIX boxes), random increments (newer versions of Solaris, IRIX, FreeBSD, Digital UNIX, Cray, and many others), or True "random" (Linux 2.0.*, OpenVMS, newer AIX, etc.). Windows boxes use a "time-dependent" model where the ISN is incremented by a fixed amount for each time period.

Source: www.insecure.org, "M ost operating systems increment a system-wide IPI D value for each packet they send. Others, such as OpenBSD, use a random IPI D and some systems (like Linux) use an IPI D of 0 in many cases where the Don't Fragment bit is not set. Windows does not put the IPI D in network byte order, so it increments by 256 for each packet. Another number that can be sequenced for OS detection purposes is the TCP timestamp option values. Some systems do not support the feature; others increment the value at frequencies of 2HZ, 100HZ, or 1000HZ and still others return 0.

P assive Banner Grabbing


Source: http://honeynet.org Like active banner grabbing, passive banner grabbing is also based on the differential implementation of the stack and the various ways an OS responds to packets. However, instead of relying on scanning the target host, passive fingerprinting captures packets from the target host via sniffing to study for telltale signs that can reveal an OS. The four areas that are typically noted to determine the operating system are:
9 9 9 9

TTL - W hat the operating system sets the Time To Live on the outbound packet W indow Size - hat the operating system sets the W indow size DF - Does the operating system set the Don't Fragment bit OS - Does the operating system set the Type of Service, and if so, at what

Passive fingerprinting has to be neither fully accurate nor be limited to these four signatures. However, by looking at several signatures and combining information, accuracy can be improved. The following is the analysis of a sniffed packet dissected by Lance Spitzner in his paper on passive fingerprinting (http://www.honeynet.org/papers/finger/). 04/20-21:41:48.129662 129.142.224.3:659 -> 172.16.1.107:604 TCP TTL:45 TOS:OxO ID:56257 ***F **A * Seq: 0x9DD90553 Ack: 0xE3C65D7 Win: 0x7D78 Based on the four criteria, the following are identified:
9 9

TTL: 45 W indow Size: 0x7D78 (or 32120 in decimal) DF: The Don't Fragment bit is set TOS: 0x0

9
9

Database Signatures
This information is then compared to a database of signatures. Considering the TTL used by the remote host, it is determined from the sniffer trace that the TTL is set at 45. This indicates that it went through 19 hops to get to the target, so the original TTL must have been set at 64.

Based on this TTL, it appears that the packet was sent from a Linux or FreeBSD box (however, more system signatures need to be added to the database). This TTL is confirmed by doing a traceroute to the remote host. If the trace needs to be done stealthily, the traceroute time-tolive (default 30 hops) can be set to be one or two hops less than the remote host (-m option). Setting traceroute in this manner reveals the path information (including the upstream provider) without actually touching the remote host.

Window Sizes
The next step is to compare window sizes. The window size is another effective tool that determines specifically what window size is used and how often the size is changed. In the previous signature, it is set at 0x7D78, a default window size is commonly used by Linux. In addition, FreeBSD and Solaris tend to maintain the same window size throughout a session. However, Cisco routers and Microsoft Windows/NT window sizes are constantly changing. The window size is more accurate if measured after the initial three-way handshake (due to TCP slow start).

Session Based
Most systems use the DF bit set, so this is of limited value. However, this does make it easier to identify the few systems that do not use the DF flag (such as SCO or OpenBSD). TOS is also of limited value, since it seems to be more session-based than operating-system-based. In other words, it is not so much the operating system that determines the TOS, but the protocol used. Therefore, based on this information, specifically TTL and window size, one can compare the results to the database of signatures and, with a degree of confidence, determine the OS (in this case, Linux kernel 2.2.x). Just as with active fingerprinting, passive fingerprinting has some limitations. First, applications that build their own packets (such as Nmap, hunt, nemesis, etc.) will not use the same signatures as the operating system. Second, it is relatively simple for a remote host to adjust the TTL, window size, DF, or TOS setting on packets. Passive fingerprinting can be used for several other purposes. Crackers can use "stealthy" fingerprinting. For example, to determine the operating system of a potential target, such as a web server, one need only request a web page from the server, and then analyze the sniffer traces. This bypasses the need for using an active tool that various IDS systems can detect. Also, passive fingerprinting may be used to identify remote proxy firewalls. Since proxy firewalls rebuild connections for clients, it may be possible to ID proxy firewalls based on the signatures that have been discussed. Organizations can use passive fingerprinting to identify rogue systems on their network. These would be systems that are not authorized on the network.

Why Banner Grabbing?


Identifying the OS used on the target host allows an attacker to figure out the vulnerabilities the system possesses and the exploits that might work on a system to further carry out additional attacks.

V ulnerability Scanning
Vulnerability scanning identifies vulnerabilities and weaknesses of a system and

network in order to determine how a system can be exploited. Similar to other security tests such as open port scanning and sniffing, the vulnerability test also assists you in securing your network by determining the loopholes or vulnerabilities in your current security mechanism. This same concept can also be used by attackers in order to find the weak points of the target network. Once they find any weak points, they can exploit them and get in to the target network. Ethical hackers can use this concept to determine the security weaknesses of their target business and fix them before the bad guys find and exploit them.

V ulnerability Scanning Tool: N essus


Source: http://www.tenable.com Nessus is a vulnerability scanner a program that searches for bugs in software. This tool allows a person to discover a specific way to violate the security of a software product. The vulnerability, in various levels of detail, is then disclosed to the user of the tool. The various steps this tool follows are: e e e 0 0 Data gathering Host identification Port scan Plug-in selection Reporting of data

To obtain more accurate and detailed information from Windows-based hosts in a Windows domain, the user can create a domain group and account that have remote registry access privileges. After completing this task, he or she gets access not only to the registry key settings but also to the Service Pack patch levels, Internet Explorer vulnerabilities, and services running on the host.

It is a client-server application. The Nessus server runs on a UNIX system, keeps track of all the different vulnerability tests, and performs the actual scan. It has its own user database and secures authentication methods, so that remote users using the Nessus client can log in, configure a vulnerability scan, and send it on its way. Nessus includes NASL (Nessus Attack Scripting Language), a language designed to write security tests. The various features of Nessus are: 9 Each security test is written as a separate plug-in. This way, the user can easily add tests without having to read the code of the Nessus engine. Q It performs smart service recognition. It assumes that the target hosts will respect the IANA assigned port numbers. 9 The Nessus Security Scanner is made up of two parts: A server, which performs the attack, and a client, which is the front end. The server and the client can be run on different systems. That is, the user can audit his whole network from his personal computer, whereas the server performs its attacks from the main frame, which may be located in a different area.

The mapping of networks into diagrams helps you to identify the topology or the architecture of the target network. The network diagram also helps you to trace out the path to the target host in the network. It also allows you to understand the position of firewalls, routers, and other access control devices. Based on the network diagram, the attacker can analyze the target network's topology and security mechanisms. It helps an attacker to see the firewalls, IDSs, and other security mechanisms of the target network. Once the attacker has this information, he or she can try to figure out the vulnerabilities or weak points of those security mechanisms. Then the attacker can find his or her way into the target network by exploiting those security weaknesses. The network diagram also helps network administrators manage their networks. Attackers use network discovery or mapping tools to draw network diagrams of target networks. The following figure depicts an example of a network diagram:

It notifies you whenever a particular host becomes active or goes down. Thus, you can also figure out the server outages or problems related to performance. This is the purpose of network discovery and mapping tools in terms of security. The same tools can be used by attackers to launch attacks on your network. Using these tools, the attacker draws the network diagram of the target network, analyzes the topology, find outs the vulnerabilities or weak points, and launches an attack by exploiting them.

You can use a proxy server in many ways such as: 0 Asa firewall, a proxy protects the local network from the outside access 9 As an IP address multiplexer, a proxy allows a number of computers to connect to the Internet when you have only one IP address 9 To anonymize web surfing (to some extent) Q To filter out unwanted content, such as ads or "unsuitable" material (using specialized proxy servers) 9 To provide some protection against hacking attacks 9 To save bandwidth Let's see how a proxy server works. W hen you use a proxy to request a particular web page on an actual server, it first sends your request to the proxy server. The proxy server then sends your request to the actual server on

In this process, the proxy receives the communication between the client and the destination application. In order to take advantage of a proxy server, client programs must be configured so they can send their requests to the proxy server instead of the final destination.

Why A ttackers Use Proxy Servers


For an attacker, it is easy to attack or hack a particular system than to conceal the attack source. So the main challenge for an attacker is to hide his identity so that no one can trace him or her. To conceal the identity, the attacker uses the proxy server. The main cause behind using a proxy is to avoid detection of attack evidence. With help of the proxy server, an attacker can mask his or her IP address so that he or she can hack the computer system without any fear of legal repercussion. When the attacker uses a proxy to connect to the destination, the proxy's source address will be recorded in the server logs instead of the actual source address of the attacker. In addition to this, the reasons for which attackers use proxy servers include: Q Attacker appears in a victim server's log files with a fake source address of the proxy rather than with the attacker's actual address 9 9 To remotely access intranets and other website resources that are normally off limits To interrupt all the requests sent by an attacker and transmit them to a third destination, hence victims will only be able to identify the proxy server address 9 To use multiple proxy servers for scanning and attacking, making it difficult for administrators to trace the real source of attack

Use of Proxies for Attack


Quite a number of proxies are intentionally open to easy access. Anonymous proxies hide the real IP address (and sometimes other information) from websites that the user visits. There are two types or anonymous proxies: One that can be used in the same way as the nonanonymous proxies and others that are web-based anonymizers. Let's see how many different ways that attackers can use proxies to commit attacks on the target.

Case 1: In the first case, the attacker performs attacks directly without using proxy. The attacker may be at risk to be traced out as the server logs may contain information about the IP
address of the source.

Target

Case 2: The attacker uses the proxy to fetch the target application. In this case, the server log
will show the IP address of the proxy instead of the attacker's IP address, thereby hiding his or

her identity; thus, the attacker will be at minimum risk of being caught. This will give the attacker the chance to be anonymous on the Internet.

Case 3: To become more anonymous on the Internet, the attacker may use the proxy chaining
technique to fetch the target application. If he or she uses proxy chaining, then it is highly difficult to trace out his or her IP address. Proxy chaining is a technique of using more numbers of proxies to fetch the target.

1. User requests a resource from the destination 2. Proxy client at the user's system connects to a proxy server and passes the request to proxy server 3. The proxy server strips the user's identification information and passes the request to next proxy server 4. This process is repeated by all the proxy servers in the chain 5. At the end unencrypted request is passed to the web server

Proxy C haining
Proxy chaining helps you to become more anonymous on the Internet. Your anonymity on the Internet depends on the number of proxies used for fetching the target application. If you use a larger number of proxy servers, then you will become more anonymous on the Internet and vice versa. W hen the attacker first requests the proxy serverl, this proxy serverl in turn requests another proxy server2. The proxy serverl strips the user's identification information and passes the request to the next proxy server. This may again request another proxy server, server3, and so on, up to target server, where finally the request is sent. Thus, it forms the chain of the proxy server to reach the destination server as shown in the following figure:

HTTP T unneling T echniques


HTTP Tunneling is another technique that allows you to use the Internet despite restrictions imposed by the firewalls. The HTTP protocol acts as wrapper for communication channels. An attacker uses HTTP tunnel software to perform HTTP tunneling. It is a client-server-based application used to communicate through the HTTP protocol. This software creates an HTTP tunnel between two machines, using a web proxy option. The technique involves sending POST requests to an "HTTP server" and receiving replies. The attacker uses the client application of HTTP tunnel software installed on his or her system to communicate with other machines. All requests sent through the HTTP tunnel client application go through the HTTP protocol.

Why do I N eed HTTP T unneling?


HTTP tunneling allows you to use the Internet despite having firewall restrictions such as blocking specific firewall ports to restrict specific protocol communication. HTTP tunneling helps you to overcome this firewall restriction communication through HTTP protocol. The attacker may use this technique for the following reasons: 9 9 9 9 9 It assures the attacker that no one will monitor him or her while browsing It helps the attacker to bypass firewall restrictions It ensures secure browsing The attacker can hide his or her IP address from being trapped It assures that it is highly impossible for others to identify him or her online by sending specific protocol

Suppose the organization has blocked all ports in your firewall and only allows port 80/443, and you want to use FTP to connect to some remote server on the Internet. In this case, you can send your packets via HTTP protocol as shown in the following figure:

SSH T unneling
SSH tunneling is another technique that an attacker can use to bypass firewall

restrictions. It also helps you hide your IP address on the Internet; therefore, no one can trace or monitor you. The prerequisite of SSH tunneling is raised from the problems caused by the public IP address, the means for accessing computers from anywhere in the world. The computers networked with the public IP address are universally accessible, so they could be attacked by anyone on the global Internet easily and can be victimized by attackers. The development of SSH tunneling solves the problems faced by the public IP address. An SSH tunnel is a link that proceeds traffic from an indiscriminate port on one machine to a remote machine through an intermediate machine. An SSH tunnel comprises an encrypted tunnel, so all your data is encrypted as it uses a secure shell to create the tunnel. Creating a tunnel for a privately addressed machine needs to implement three basic steps and also requires three machines. The three requisite machines are: 9 9 9 Local machine An intermediate machine with a public IP address Target machine with a private address to which the connection must be established

You can create a tunnel as follows: 9 Start an SSH connection from local machine to the intermediate machine with public IP address. 9 Instruct the SSH connection to wait and observe traffic on the local port, and use intermediate machine to send the traffic to an explicit port on the target machine with a private address. This is called port acceleration or port forwarding. 9 On the local machine, select the application that you want to use for connection with the remote machine and configure it to use port forwarding on the local machine. Now, when you connect to the local port, it will redirect the traffic to the remote machine. To secure communication between computers, SSH uses private and public encryption keys. The public encryption keys used by the SSH tunneling deed like the identifiers of the authorized computer. On initiating an SSH connection, each machine exchanges public keys, but only the computer that has the matching private key can attain access to the remote computer applications and information and can read encrypted communications with the public key. f t

An anonymizer is an intermediate server placed in between the end user and web site that accesses the website on behalf of you, making your web surfing untraceable. An anonymizer eliminates all the identifying information (IP address) from your system while you are surfing the Internet, thereby ensuring privacy. Most anonymizers can anonymize the web (http :), file transfer protocol (ftp :), and gopher (go p her:) Internet services. To visit a page anonymously, you can visit your preferred anonymizer site, and enter the name of the target website in the Anonymization field. Alternately, you can set your browser home page to point to an anonymizer, so that every subsequent web access will be anonymized. Apart from this, you can choose to anonymously provide passwords and other information to sites that request you, without revealing any other information, such as your IP address. Crackers may configure an anonymizer as a permanent proxy server by making the site name the setting for the HTTP, FTP, Gopher, and other proxy options in their applications configuration menu, thereby cloaking their malicious activities.

Why Use an Anonym izer?


The reasons for using anonymizers include:

Ensures privacy: It protects your identity by making your web navigation activities
untraceable. Your privacy is maintained until and unless you disclose your personal information on the web by filling out forms, etc.

Accesses government-restricted content: Most governments prevent their citizens from


accessing certain websites or content in order to avoid them from accessing inappropriate information or sensitive information. But these people can access even these types of resources by an anonymizer located outside the country.

Protect you from online attacks: Anonymizers protect you from all instances of online
pharming attacks by routing all customer Internet traffic via the anonymizer's protected DNS servers.

Bypass IDS and firewall rules: Bypassing of firewalls is mostly done in organizations or
schools by employees or students accessing websites they are not supposed to access. An anonymizer service gets around your organization's firewall by setting up a connection between your computer and the anonymizer service. By doing such, firewalls can see only the connection from you to anonymizer's web address. The anonymizer will then connect to Twitter or any website you wanted to access with the help of an Internet connection and sends the content back to you. not to Twitter or other sites. For your organization, it looks like your system is connected to an anonymizer's web address, but

Anonymizers, apart from protecting users' identities, can also attack the website and no one can actually detect where the attack came from.

Types of A nonym izers


An anonymizer is a service through which one can hide their identity when using certain services of the Internet. It basically works by encrypting the data from your computer, so that is cannot be understood by Internet service providers or anyone who might try to access it. Basically, anonymizers are of two types: 9 9 - ____~ Networked anonymizers Single-point anonymizers

N e tw o rk e d A n o n y m iz e rs
___
These type of anonymizer first transfers your information through a network of Internet computers before sending it to the website. Since the information passes through several Internet computers, it becomes more cumbersome for anyone trying to track your information to establish the connection between you and anonymizer.

Example: If you want to visit any web page you have to make a request. The request will first
pass through A, B, and C Internet computers prior to going to the website. Then after being opened, the page will be transferred back through C, B, and A and then to you.

Advantage: Complication of the communications makes traffic analysis complex

Single-point anonymizers first transfer your information through a website before

sending this to the target website, and then pass back information, i.e., gathered from the targeted website, through a website and then back to you to protect your identity.

Advantage: IP address and related identifying information are protected by the arms-length
communications

Disadvantage: It offers less resistance to sophisticated traffic analysis

China is well known for its implementation of the "packet filtering" technique. This technique detects TCP packets that contain controversial keywords such as Tibet, Democracy, Tiananmen, etc. To bypass Internet filters and dodge the censors, bloggers and journalists in China are writing the text backwards or from right to left. By doing so, though the content is still in human readable form, the text is successful in defeating web filtering software. Bloggers and journalists use vertical text converter tools to write the text backwards or from right to left and vertically instead of horizontally.

-. Spoofing IP A d d resses
^ Spoofing IP addresses enables attacks like hijacking. When spoofing, an attacker a fake IP in place of the attacker's assigned IP. W hen the attacker sends a connection request to the target host, the target host replys to the attacker's request. But the reply is sent to the spoofed address. W hen spoofing an address that doesn't exist, the target replies to a nonexistent system and then hangs until the session times out, consuming target resources.

Both will have the same TTL if they are the same protocol. Though, initial TTL values vary based on the protocol used, a few initial TTL values are commonly used. For TCP/UDP, the commonly used initial values are 64 and 128 and for ICMP, the values are 128 and 255. If the reply is from a different protocol, then you should check the actual hop count to detect the spoofed packets. The hop count can be determined by deducting the TTL value in the reply from the initial TTL value. If the TTL in the reply is not matching with the TTL of the packet that you are checking, it is a spoofed packet. If the attacker knows the hop count between source and host, it will be very easy for the attacker to launch an attack. In this case, the test results in a false negative.

Spoofed packets can be identified based on the identification number (IP ID) in the IP header that increases each time a packet is sent. This method is effective even when both the attacker and victim are on same subnet. To identify whether the packet is spoofed or not, send a probe packet to the target and observe the IP ID number in the reply. If it is in the near value as the packet that you are checking, then it is not a spoofed packet, otherwise it is a spoofed packet.

IP Spoofing D etectio n T e ch n iq u es: TCP Flow C ontrol M ethod


The TCP can optimize the flow control on both the send and the receiver side with its algorithm. The algorithm accomplishes the flow control based on the sliding window principle. The flow of IP packets can be controlled by the window size field in the TCP header. This field represents the maximum amount of data that the recipient can receive and the maximum amount of data the sender can transmit without acknowledgement. Thus, this field helps us to control data flow. W hen the window size is set to zero, the sender should stop sending more data. In general flow control, the sender should stop sending data once the initial window size is exhausted. The attacker who is unaware of the ACK packet containing window size information continues to send data to the victim. If the victim receives data packets beyond the window size, then the packets must be treated as spoofed. For effective flow control method and early detection of spoofing, the initial window size must be very small. Most spoofing attacks occur during the handshake, as it is difficult to build multiple spoofing replies with the correct sequence number. Therefore, the flow control spoofed packet detection must be applied at the handshake. In a TCP handshake, the host sending the initial SYN packet waits for SYN-ACK before sending the ACK packet. To check whether you are getting

the SYN request from a genuine client or a spoofed one, you should set the SYN-ACK to zero. If the sender sends an ACK with any data, then it means that the sender is the spoofed one. This is because when the SYN-ACK is set to zero, the sender must respond to it only with the ACK packet but not ACK with data.

IP Spoofing C o u n te rm e a su re s
In ethical hacking, the ethical hacker also known as the pen tester, has to perform an additional task that a normal hacker doesn't follow, i.e., applying countermeasures to the respective vulnerabilities determined through hacking. This is essential because knowing security loopholes in your network is worthless unless you take measures to protect them against real hackers. As mentioned previously, IP spoofing is one of the techniques that a hacker employs to break into the target network. Therefore, in order to protect your network from external hackers, you should apply IP spoofing countermeasures to your network security settings. The following are a few IP spoofing countermeasures that you can apply:

Avoid trust relationships


Attackers may spoof themselves as a trusted host and send malicious packets to you. If you accept those packets by considering that the packets are sent by your trusted host, then you may get infected. Therefore, it is advisable to test the packets even when they come from one of your trusted hosts. You can avoid this problem by implementing password authentication along with trust-relationship-based authentication.

Use firewalls and filtering mechanisms


You should filter all the incoming and outgoing packets to avoid attacks and sensitive information loss. The incoming packets may be the malicious packets coming from the attacker.

If you do not employ any kind of incoming packet filtering mechanism such as a firewall, then the malicious packets may enter your private network and may cause severe loss. You can use access control lists (ACLs) to block unauthorized access. At the same time, there is also a possibility of insider attackers. These attackers may send sensitive information about your business to your competitors. This may also lead to great monetary loss or other issues. There is one more risk of outgoing packets, which is when an attacker succeeds in installing a malicious sniffing program running in hidden mode on your network. These programs gather and send all your network information to the attacker without giving any notification. This can be figured out by filtering the outgoing packets. Therefore, you should give the same importance to the scanning of outgoing packets as that of the incoming packet data scanning.

Use random initial sequence numbers


Most of the devices chose their ISN based on timed counters. This makes the ISNs predictable as it is easy for a malicious person to determine the concept of generating the ISN. An attacker can determine the ISN of the next TCP connection by analyzing the ISN of the current session or connection. If the attacker can predict the ISN, then he or she can make a malicious connection to the server and sniff your network traffic. To avoid this, risk you should use random initial sequence numbers.

Ingress filtering
Prohibiting spoofed traffic from entering the Internet is the best way to block it. This can be achieved with the help of ingress filtering. Ingress filtering applied on routers enhances the functionality of the routers and blocks spoofed traffic. It can be implemented in many ways. Configuring and using access control lists (ACLs) that drop packets with source address outside the defined range is one way to implement ingress filtering.

Egress filtering
Egress filtering refers to a practice that aims at IP spoofing prevention by blocking the outgoing packets with a source address that is not inside.

Use encryption
If you want to attain maximum network security, then use strong encryption for all the traffic placed onto the transmission media without considering its type and location. This is the best solution for IP spoofing attacks. Attackers usually tend to find targets that can be compromised easily. If an attacker wants to break into encrypted network, then he or she has to face a whole slew of encrypted packets, which is a difficult task. Therefore, the attacker may try to find another target that can be easily compromised or may attempt other techniques to break into the network. Use the latest encryption algorithms that provide strong security.

SYN flooding countermeasures


Countermeasures against SYN flooding attacks can also help you to avoid IP spoofing attacks.

Let's see step by step how a penetration test is conducted on the target network.

Stepl: Host Discovery


The first step of network penetration testing is to detect live hosts on the target network. You can attempt to detect the live host, i.e., accessible hosts in the target network, using network scanning tools such as Angry IP Scanner, Nmap, Netscan, etc. It is difficult to detect live hosts behind the firewall.

Step 2: Port Scanning


Perform port scanning using tools such as Nmap, Netscan Tools Pro, PRTG Network Monitor, Net Tools, etc. These tools will help you to probe a server or host on the target network for open ports. Open ports are the doorways for attackers to install malware on a system. Therefore, you should check for open ports and close them if not necessary.

Step 3: Banner Grabbing or OS Finger Printing


Perform banner grabbing/OS fingerprinting using tools such as Telnet, Netcraft, ID Serve, Netcat, etc. This determines the operating system running on the target host of a network and its version. Once you know the version and operating system running on the target system, find

and exploit the vulnerabilities related to that OS. Try to gain control over the system and compromise the whole network. Step 4: Scan for Vulnerabilities Scan the network for vulnerabilities using network vulnerability scanning tools such as Nessus, GFI LANGuard, SAINT, Core Impact Professional, Ratina CS, M BSA, etc. These tools help you to find the vulnerabilities present in the target network. In this step, you will able to determine the security weaknesses/loopholes of the target system or network.

Step 5: Draw Network Diagrams
Draw a network diagram of the target organization that helps you to understand the logical connection and path to the target host in the network. The network diagram can be drawn with the help of tools such as LAN surveyor, OpManager, LANState, FriendlyPinger, etc. The network diagrams provide valuable information about the network and its architecture.

Step 6: Prepare Proxies


Prepare proxies using tools such as Proxifier, SocksChain, SSL Proxy, Proxy+, Gproxy,

ProxyFinder, etc. to hide yourself from being caught.

Step 7: Document all Findings


The last but the most important step in scanning penetration testing is preserving all outcomes of tests conducted in previous steps in a document. This document will assist you in finding potential vulnerabilities in your network. Once you determine the potential vulnerabilities, you can plan the counteractions accordingly. Thus, penetration testing helps in assessing your network before it gets into real trouble that may cause severe loss in terms of value and finance.
