Internet Security
Prevents unauthorized network access to
resources
 Authorizes own personel to use the Internet
 Increasing use of cryptography to insure:

- Privacy
- Authentication
- Integrity

Complements system security

US Governement

“The US DOD expereinced 260,000 computer system attacks last year. In nearly twothirds of the cases, attackers gained entry to the agency’s computer networks, according
to a report by the Rand Corp.” IEEE Computer July 1996

Private Industry

- According to a survey of 1,320 companies by Information Week/Ernst Young:
78% lost money from security breaches
63% suffered losses from viruses
32% lost money from inside hasckers
73% have no more than three people on secuirty

Layering Example: TFTP

In each layer the payload contains a header and the payload of the layer above. The
TFTP data contains for example 400 bytes of file data. The application protocol adds a
TFTP header, which is 4 bytes large. TFTP uses UDP, so UDP header is presented. A
UDP header is 8 bytes large. The IP header adds another 20 bytes. Finally, an Ethernet
header and trailer are added. Those are 14 and 4 bytes large. If an IP packet arrives
whose length is smaller than the combined length of all higher headers, the packet is of
no use. If this happens as a result of some malicious intent, this is called the “tiny
fragment” attack”

IP Options




Intended for special handling above and beyond typical
situations
Many options obsolete
Field is typically empty
Source routing option specifies route instead of routers
- Theory: useful in broken routing environment
- Practice: used by hackers to circumvent security measures

Recommendation: drop packets with IP option set
IP Adresses

C From 192 to 223

Fragmentation










DF = don’t fragment
MF = more fragments
Accommodates dissimilar networks
Fragment as you go
Copy IP header, ID, and compute new (relative) offset
Reassemble redone at the destination system using
Source address
ID
Offset, last fragment has MF=0
Proceeding process is CPU intensive
IP Forwarding



Routers manage internal routing tables
Each datagram inspected by router for destination address
Router searches Database to determine which interface to
forward the datagram
IP Forwarding Principles
Each packet is forwarded separately
 Many hops: form router to router
 Router forwards IP packet to next hop

Based on routing table
Packets may be fragmented
Reassembly done by destination host
 Router overload - packet is dropped
 TTL - Time to Live field avoids infinite
loops (decreased at each hop)

Routing Protocols








Every router knows optimal path through network
This is used to compute the routing table
Routing protocols distribute routing information
RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
Risk - your router is sent false routing information
Don’t allow any routing protocol through firewall
Firewall uses static routing
ICMP Messages
Internet Control Message Protocol
Network error messages do not make IP more reliable
Essential when diagnosing network problems
Each Message includes a type field and related code field
Threat - bogus ICMP messages or broadcast storms when
something is wrong
ICMP Messages
Message type
Message type 3 code
o echo reply
0 Net unreachable

Socket Interface

Socket interface to TCP/IP
Socket system call

Create, bind to address
Use file descriptor such as read, write, close

TCP Connection
Localhost, local port
Remotehost, remoteport
TCP Reliable Connection
Detection of lost data, or dat received twice
 Retransmissions of lost IP packets
 Sequence number in TCP header

Each byte is numbered and acknowledged
ACK (sequence number) in every packet except the first
Retransmissions of lost IP packets
 Flow Control

Window size
Number of permitted outstanding (non acknowledged) bytes
Client/Server Applications with TCP



Server (“daemon”) listens on a “socket” (port)
Client connects to that port
TCP three way handshake
SYN
SYN, ACK
ACK



Establishes a connection
Bi-directional connection
Parties can read/write from/to socket
Name Services (DNS)
“www.company.com” > 123.45.67.89
 telnet host.company.com
 mail [email protected]
 UDP- based:vulnerable
 Exposed internal configuration
