Research of the IP-Telephony for the Czech Armed Forces Lt. Bc. Zburníková Lucie
Main points of presentation • characteristic of IP-telephony • aims of the scientific work • DoS attacks • prevention and response • overall summary
Aims of the scientific work • to create a possible network diagram • to categorize the DoS attacks • to make the total and actual list of them • to propose the form of detection and counteraction against them
Categories and types of Denial of Service attacks • Direct Denial of Service attacks: Single-tier attacks Dual-tier attacks Triple-tier ‘distributed’ attacks • Indirect Denial of Service attacks: The LoveBug virus Code Red and Nimda worms
Direct Denial of Service attacks • Single-tier DoS Attacks (1990-1997) Examples: Ping of Death, SYN floods, other malformed packet attacks • Dual-tier DoS Attacks (late 1997) Example: Smurf • Triple-tier DDoS Attacks (1998-2000) Examples: TFN2K, Stacheldraht, Mstream
Compare of the attacks • Older attacks are ineffective or of low danger. • The attempts that use new vulnerabilities of systems have low lifetime. • Flood attacks are simple, but dangerous. • DDoS flood attacks cause serious problems which can shift of any server. • Some new attempts can combine number of different simple attacks and can use DDos.
Prevention and Response • Intrusion detection system (IDS) • network intrusion detection system • protocol-based intrusion detection system (Example: Snort) • application protocol-based intrusion detection system • host-based intrusion detection system • hybrid intrusion detection system (Example: Prelude) • Intrusion prevention system • (Self)defence against DoS attacks
Network-based vs. host-based system + - • It's able to verify if attack was succesful or not. • The functionality isn't affected by transmission or using the encryption. • It's able to prevent the attack. • It uses server as a source. • The possibility of usage depends on OS. • The extensibility - requires installation of one agent / server. Host-Based • It protects all terminal station on the monitoring net. • It has no influence on function of the terminal stations / servers. • It's able to detect DoS attacks. • There are more difficult implement. in the environment of the switching LAN. • Monitoring above 1Gb/s is the problem for now. • Generally it can't for-actively stop the attack. Network-Based

General defence • The systems for detection (and prevention) unauthorized intersection get past accessories for security nets by the firewalls. • We obtain high level of defence in the face of unauthorized activities by the combination of net IDS and IDS for servers. • The correct function of IDS has to be supported by regular plotting the adventitious information and upgrade of the system.
Overall summary • VoIP telephony has a great potential to bring considerable advantages into telecommunications in comparison with standard technologies. • The main advantage is cost reduction especially in the case of long distance calls. • It offers quality phone services including secure voice and development prevention and response.
