Presentation Transcript

  1. Network Security Derived from original slides by Henric Johnson Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden From the book by William Stallings

  2. Outline • Attacks, services and mechanisms • Security attacks • Security services • Methods of Defense • A model for Internetwork Security • DOS Attack mechanisms

  3. Attacks, Services and Mechanisms • Security Attack:Any action that compromises the security of information. • Security Mechanism:A mechanism that is designed to detect, prevent, or recover from a security attack. • Security Service:A service that enhances the security of data processing systems and information transfers. A security service makes use of one or more security mechanisms.

  4. Security Attacks

  5. Security Attacks • Interruption: This is an attack on availability • Interception: This is an attack on confidentiality • Modification: This is an attack on integrity • Fabrication: This is an attack on authenticity

  6. Security Goals Confidentiality Integrity Avalaibility

  7. Security Services • Confidentiality (privacy) • Authentication (who created or sent the data) • Integrity (has not been altered) • Non-repudiation (the order is final) • Access control (prevent misuse of resources) • Availability (permanence, non-erasure) • Denial of Service Attacks • Virus that deletes files

  8. Methods of Defence • Encryption • Software Controls (access limitations in a data base, in operating system protect each user from other users) • Hardware Controls (smartcard) • Policies (frequent changes of passwords) • Physical Controls • Firewall based access restrictions

  9. Denial of Service Attacks • Various forms • UDP flood -- overrun the end server with lots of packets • TCP SYN attack -- don’t complete the 3-way handshake of TCP • ICMP Flood -- overload end server CPU with many packets

  10. Denial of Service Attacks • ICMP Directed Broadcast: Send ICMP echo request to broadcast addresses, broadcast directed towards the victim • DNS Flood: Request a zone transfer • CGI Flood: Keep web server CPU busy • Fragmentation attack: Send fragments of incomplete packets, buffers exhausted.
