Ping of Death Attacks Network Security(CP33925) DoS and DDoS 부산대학교 공과대학 정보컴퓨터공학부 What we’ll learn today … DoS Attack DDoS Attack DoS and DDoS attack countermeasures 2 Understanding DoS attacks DoS (Denial of Service) . An attack that provides information beyond the ability of an attacking target to accept it and then, prevents an attacking target from operating normally beyond the capacity of the user or network DoS Attack Features . Destruction: Disks, Data, System Destruction . System resource depletion: Heavy load due to excessive use of CPU, memory, disk . Network resource depletion: Depletion of network bandwidth with garbage data 3 Ping of Death Attack (1/6) Ping of Death Attack . Use ping to make ICMP packets much larger than normal . Large packets are routed through the network and are broken into very small pieces while reaching the attacking network . The attack target should process much more fragmented packets, so it takes much more load than normal ping Why to segment a packet and deliver it? . Routing does not go through the networks with the same characteristics when forwarding packets • If the maximum packet size for each network is different and the maximum packet size is small, then the data will be divided smaller . Packets once divided do not grow again • To increase the packet, it is necessary to store the packet and reassemble the packet data that comes in next time, which causes a load which is fatal to the performance of the router. 4 Ping of Death Attack (2/6) Packet Segmentation Data Data Data Header FCS 1/3 2/3 3/3 Data Data Data Header FCS Header FCS Header FCS 1/3 1/3 1/3 . Set the maximum length of ICMP packets to 65,500 bytes . When you ping the network with a maximum size of 65,500 bytes, the packet is split into segments . If the maximum transmissionable length of a network through a packet is 100 bytes, then one packet is divided into 655 number of packets 5 Ping of Death Attack (3/6) Practice Environment .

  • DNS Threats November, 2015
    DNS Threats November, 2015 This document contains brief descriptions of a number of potential DNS threats. Direct DNS amplification Direct DNS amplification attacks are aimed at congesting DNS server outbound bandwidth. They start by sending a large number of DNS queries, specially crafted so that they result in a very large response that can reach up to 70 times the size of the request. Since DNS relies on the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), the attacker can use a small volume of outbound traffic to cause the DNS server to generate a much larger volume, resulting in congestion of the DNS server’s upload and eventually a denial of service (DoS). Reflection Reflection attacks use a third-party DNS server (typically an open recursive name server) in the Internet to propagate a DoS or DDoS attack by sending queries to the recursive server. Recursive servers will process queries from any IP address, and they return responses. The attack spoofs the DNS queries it sends by including the victim’s IP address as the source IP in the query, so that the query has the victim’s server information rather than the attacker’s. So when the recursive name server receives the requests, it sends all the responses to the victim’s IP address. A high volume of such “reflected” traffic can bring down the victim’s site. Distributed reflection DoS Distributed reflection DoS (DrDoS) attacks combine reflection with amplification that significantly increases the size of the response to the initial queries—and the likelihood that the victim’s server will be overwhelmed.

  • Cyber Attacks Explained: Dos and Ddos
    CYBER ATTACKS EXPLAINED: DOS AND DDOS With this article, we begin a new series on the major kinds of cyber attacks that weaken the IT security infrastructure within organisations. With the rapid spread of Internet technologies and applications, the number of those seeking to break into systems is also increasing — usually to gain fame, money, or to damage the target’s reputation. The first to be covered in this series is the Denial of Service attack (DoS) and the distributed version (DDoS). We will learn how these attacks work technically, and discuss ways to stop them at the network entry point. The fundamental technique behind a DoS attack is to make the target system busy. In a computer server, when a network packet is being received, all components (right from the network interface card or NIC to the application running under the OS) are participating to ensure successful delivery of that packet. The NIC must monitor the Ethernet frames meant for it, align data and pass it to the network card driver, which then adds its own intelligence and passes it to the OS, which takes it to the application. Each component involved can exhibit some form of vulnerability, and DoS attacks are devised to exploit one or more of these, to penetrate into the system. Let’s now understand the basics of the TCP/IP protocol, which uses a handshake between the sender and receiver. Figure 1 shows how a healthy TCP handshake takes place, and how a SYN flood attack compares with it. Figure 1: A healthy TCP handshake When the sender wants to communicate, it sends a SYN packet with its own IP address as the source, and the receiver’s IP address as the destination.

  • Dos Attack Prevention Using Rule-Based Sniffing Technique and Firewall in Cloud Computing
    125 E3S W eb of C onferences , 21004 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/201912521004 ICENIS 2019 DoS Attack Prevention Using Rule-Based Sniffing Technique and Firewall in Cloud Computing Kagiraneza Alexis Fidele1,2*, and Agus Hartanto2 1 Data Entry and Update Taxpayer’s Registry in Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) Kigali-Rwanda 2 Master of Information System, School of Postgraduate Studies Diponegoro University, Semarang – Indonesia Abstract. Nowadays, we are entering an era where the internet has become a necessary infrastructure and support that can be applied as a means of regular communication and data service. In these services, cloud- based on servers has an essential role as it can serve numerous types of devices that are interconnected with several protocols. Unfortunately, internet cloud servers become the main target of attacks such as Denial of Service (DoS), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). These attacks have illegal access that could interfere in service functions. Sniffing techniques are typically practiced by hackers and crackers to tap data that passes through the internet network. In this paper, sniffing technique aims to identify packets that are moving across the network. This technique will distinguish packet on the routers or bridges through a sniffer tool known as snort connected to a database containing the attack pattern. If the sniffing system encounters strange patterns and recognizes them as attacks, it will notify to the firewall to separate the attacker's original Internet Protocol (IP) address. Then, communication from the attacker's host to the target will be discontinued. Consequently, the identified attack activity will stop working, and the service will proceed to run.

    Musings RIK FARROWOPINION Rik is the editor of ;login:. While I was at LISA ’11, I ran into an old friend, Paul Ebersman . Paul was one of [email protected] the first employees at UUNET, and every time I ran into Paul, usually at a USENIX conference, he would tell me how the UUNET office had grown onto another floor of a building . Eventually, UUNETs growth was taking over entire buildings . Paul would also tell me how fast the Internet was growing, with traffic doubling every few months . UUNET was the fastest-growing ISP in the 1990s [1] and was founded with help from USENIX . These days, Paul is working for a company (Infoblox) that makes server appliances, and his own focus is on IPv6 . Paul’s article about issues with making the transition to IPv6 appears in this issue . During our conversations at LISA, I asked Paul about security and IPv6, and Paul said, “It’s like 1994 all over again ”. What Paul meant was that back in the mid-’90s, organizations were beginning to use the Internet without having more than the vaguest notion of security . Also, most IPv4 software stacks were largely untested, leading to root compromises and various denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, such as the Ping of Death [2] . In many ways, as the momentum to enable IPv6 on Internet- facing Web sites rolls onward, we will be facing another moment where most people will not be familiar with the new security issues that come with using a new network protocol . Just the Same Some things won’t be any different: there are still 65535 TCP and 65535 UDP ports in IPv6, just as in IPv4 .

  • Towards Run-Time Protocol Anomaly Detection and Verification
    TOWARDS RUN-TIME PROTOCOL ANOMALY DETECTION AND VERIFICATION InSeon Yoo and Ulrich Ultes-Nitsche Department of Computer Science, University of Fribourg, Chemin du Musee 3, Fribourg, CH1700, Switzerland. Keywords: Run-time Protocol Verification, Protocol Anomaly Detection, SDL, EFSM/CEFSM Abstract: `How to verify incoming packets whether they follow standards or not?' and `How to detect protocol anomalies in real-time?', we seek to answer these questions. In order to solve these questions, we have designed a packet verifier with packet inspection and sanity check. In this work, we specify TCP transaction behaviours declaratively in a high-level language called Specification and Description Language (SDL). This specification will be then compiled into an inspection engine program for oberving packets. In addition, the SanityChecker covers protocol header anomalies. 1 INTRODUCTION 2 EXAMPLE CASES OF PROTOCOL ANOMALIES Protocols are created with specifications, known as RFCs, to dictate proper use and communication. An 2.1 Ping of Death anomaly is defined as something different, abnormal, peculiar, or not easily classified. Protocol anomaly Attackers sends a fragmented PING request that ex- refers to all exceptions related to protocol format and ceeds the maximum IP packet size(64KB), causing protocol behaviour with respect to common practice vulnerable systems to crash. The idea behind the Ping on the Internet and standard specifications. This in- of Death and similar attacks is that the user sends a cludes network and transport layer protocol anoma- packet that is malformed in such a way that the target lies in layer 3 and layer 4 and application layer proto- system will not know how to handle the packet.
