  1. CIT 380: Securing Computer Systems TCP/IP

  2. TCP Header

  3. TCP Header • Sequence Number: 32-bit segment identifier. • Acknowledgment: next sequence number expected by sender of ACK • TCP is full duplex so both sides of connection have own set of sequence numbers • Header length: length of header in 32-bit words (20bytes default–60bytes w/ options) • Window size: number of bytes receiver is willing to accept (flow control)

  4. TCP Header Flags (Code Bits) URG: urgent pointer is valid ACK: acknowledgement number is valid PSH: rcvr should pass data to app asap RST: reset connection SYN: synchronize sequence numbers to initiate a connection FIN: sender is finished sending data

  5. TCP Connections Establishment 3-way handshake Connection Trace Termination Normal Termination Connection Trace Reset

  6. Connection Establishment Protocol • Requester (client) sends a SYN segment, specifying the port number of the server to which it wants to connect and the client’s initial sequence number (ISN). • Server responds with SYN segment containing server’s ISN. Server acknowledges client’s SYN by ACKing the client’s ISN+1. • Client acknowledges server SYN by ACKing server’s ISN+1.

  7. TCP 3-way Handshake

  8. Connection Establishment Test at204m02> /usr/sbin/snoop sun09 at204m02> nc sun09 22 SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 ^C If no services running, start your own: at204m02> nc -l -p 8192

  9. Connection Termination Protocol As TCP is full duplex, each side must terminate half of the connection as follows: Send FIN segment (active close) Other side ACKs w/ FIN sequence number +1 Half-closed connections Side that sent FIN can still receive data. Example: ssh fasthost sort < words.txt

  10. TCP Disconnection

  11. TCP Reset Connection Refused > telnet at204m02 8192 Trying 10.1.0.90... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused Packet Trace sun09 -> at204m02 TCP D=8192 S=33048 Syn Seq=3848454475 Len=0 Win=24820 Options=<nop,nop,sackOK,mss 1460> at204m02 -> sun09 TCP D=33048 S=8192 Rst Ack=3848454476 Win=0

  12. TCP Reset (cont.) Connection Abort Any queued data is thrown away. Other side is informed of abnormal close. Packet Detail: One side sends RST. Other side aborts connection. There is no ACK sent in response.

  13. Half-Open Connections Connections where one side has aborted or closed connection w/o knowledge of other. • Client or server host has crashed. • DOS attack: requester sends SYN, doesn’t respond to SYN+ACK.
