  1. Building a Campus Dshield Randy Marchany IT Security Lab VA Tech Blacksburg, VA 24060 marchany@vt.edu http://security.vt.edu

  2. VT Defense-in-Depth Strategy • Layer 1: Blocking Attacks: Network Based • Layer 2: Blocking Attacks: Host Based • Layer 3: Eliminating Security Vulnerabilities • Layer 4: Supporting Authorized Users • Layer 5: Tools to minimize business losses

  3. Putting the Pieces Together • RDWEB – locate any device in our network • DSHIELD – Collect Firewall logs • SNORT – Sensors monitoring for patterns • SAFETYNET – “pull” vulnerability scanner • CHECKNET – “push” vulnerability scanner • REMEDY – Trouble Ticket system used by Help Desk • CENTRAL SYSLOG – collects syslogs

  5. VA Tech Defense in Depth • Layer 1: Blocking Attacks: Network Based • Network Intrusion Prevention Systems • Discovery and mitigation • Firewalls • Secure Web Filtering • Secure Email, Anti-Spam

  6. VA Tech Defense in Depth • Layer 2: Blocking Attacks: Host Based • Personal firewalls • Spyware removal • Scan & Block/Quarantine Networks • Antivirus

  7. VA Tech Defense in Depth • Layer 3: Eliminating Security Vulnerabilities • Vulnerability management & remediation • Patch management • Configuration management • Security configuration compliance • Application security testing

  8. Putting the Pieces Together • REN-ISAC weather reports • Dshield.org • IPS • Netflows • UCONN netreg • VSC scanners

  9. You Already Belong to a “Dshield” • Default setting for Windows XP Personal Firewall sends copies of your firewall logs to http://hackerwatch.org • Why not belong to one that you know about?

  10. Dshield – Internet Storm Center • Internet Storm Center concept was developed after analysts noted that time zones provided an early warning system for some attacks • Attacks originating in Asia occurred 12+ hours before hitting North America • People coming to work and logging in their computers

  11. Dshield • Similar to weather reporting infrastructure • Mapping probes similar to mapping weather fronts • Admins could look at the data real-time and use this info to prepare for an attack • Similar to looking at a weather map to prepare for tomorrow’s weather

  12. Small sensors in as many places as possible recording basic weather info Regional weather stations providing tech support, summarize and display it for local meteorologists National weather centers summarize and map regional data to provide overall weather picture Small IDS tools send logs to regional/campus site Regional site provides automated support and reporting tools Global Analysis & Coordination Centers provide early warning to network community of impending/ongoing attacks Weather Report vs. Internet Storm Ctr

  13. DShield Configuration • Hardware • DEC 2650, 2GB RAM, 785GB disk • Software • Red Hat Enterprise • Apache WWW server • PHP • MySQL • Dshield base system from Internet Storm Center

  14. Good News Dshield code is already set to do the functions shown later You do some local mods and you’re ready to go Software can handle the load Fairly universal feeds Good reporting tool Bad News Code is hard to get Basic documentation Convincing your environment to feed your dshield Need to tailor firewall configurations Needs an analyst to interpret the results The Good News, The Bad News
