  1. Hacking, Tracking, and BaitingSurveillance, Wardriving and Honeypot Technologies Larry Korba Institute for Information Technology National Research Council of Canada PST 2005 Workshop, October 12, 2005

  2. Overview • Goal • Wardriving • Honeypots • Other Surveillance Techniques • Surreptitious • Organization • Conclusions

  3. GOAL • Describe some “interesting” technologies related to surveillance, • and what to expect next • Raise privacy, responsibility, legal questions

  4. Wardriving • In the News Wi-Fi Security Wakes Up to Reality June, 2005 Wardriving around town February, 2005 How vulnerable is Wi-Fi Authentication? November, 2004 Florida man charged with stealing WiFi signal July, 2005

  5. Wardriving - Background • Wi-Fi: Wireless Fidelity • Wireless network communication (GHz range) • Wireless Access points provide bridge to Internet • Problems: • Network access through thin air • Wireless networks often configured without any security • Commonly used Wi-Fi security protocols broken • Looking for wireless access points is fun! • Using them is… illegal? Immoral?

  6. Wardriving – Technologies • Antenna • PowerfulSensitiveWi-FiCards

  7. Wardriving – Technologies • WEP 40 and 104 bit (+24 bit initialization vector = 64 bit/128 bit) • Poor implementation (2001), capture 5 million packets, attach IV in clear • Firmware improvements, then Korek 2004: WEP statistical cryptanalysis about 2 million packets required to break WEP • WPA Personal (WPA-PSK) Attack found in 2003, Tools appeared in 2004, WPA Cracker, WPAtty (Brute force, dictionary attacks on WPA-PSK four-way handshake (works on weak pass phrases) • Aircrack, WepLab, Airsnort, Kismet, Decrypt, among others (MAC address spoofing) # decrypt -f /usr/dict/words -m 00:02:2D:27:D9:22 -e encrypted.dump -d [RETURN] out.dump Found key: Hex - 61:6c:6f:68:61, ASCII - "aloha"

  8. Wardriving: Results? • Coverage maps

  9. Wardriving – Remedies • Security Enabled, WEP, WPA (Choose strong key) Change it regularly • Ensure admin password is enabled • Enable MAC address authentication • Use VPN access

  10. Wardriving – Other Remedies • Conventional • Radius server • Security audit: Wireless AP detection, WEP/WPA strength testing, coverage mapping • Others • Antenna design • Shielding • Windows, Walls • Paint? Forcefieldwireless.com • Future • Better AP configuration (secure out of the box) • Intel range determination 1’ over 231’ • Mapping wireless: alternative to GPS (Microsoft) • WPA2 improvements? • Responsibility? Laws? Morality?

  11. Honeypots New Gatesweeper firewall collects information about attackers • News Items… Skype Honeypot snares dirty IMers Wi-Fi ‘WarTrappers’ nab drive-by hackers Cops tempt crook with technology ‘Honeymonkeys’ find web threats Avoiding Sticky Legal Traps: Hackers have rights too! How can you deploy honeypots without running afoul of the law.

  12. Honeypots – Background • Definition/Description/Origin • “An evening with Bereford: In which a cracker is lured, endured and studied” Bill Cheswick, 1991 • Any system resource whose value lies: in being probed, attacked, or compromised ; in unauthorized or illicit use of that resource • Don’t solve a particular problem, but contribute to Sec. Arch. • Not for prevention • Ineffective against automated attacks • Provide early warning, prediction • Discover new tools/tactics • Track behavior patterns • Develop forensic analysis skills • Low and High interaction types

  13. Honeypots- Application • Capture low-hanging fruit • Network configurations • Emulation • OS with bugs • Open ports…

  14. Honeypots – Spin-offs/Future • Further Honeypot/Honeynet development • Integrated, proactive 0-day security response • GHH: Google Hack Honeypot • Honeymonkey • Web spider (client) (unpatched XP) • Gathers malicious code hosted by web servers • Technology “traps” • Automobiles (Black Box and Bait)

  15. Other Surveillance Techniques • Keystroke monitoring (Historical and present day (surreptitious screen shots, keystroke monitoring) • Trojans, rootkits, backdoors via web and email • Email monitoring • Metalincs • Smarsh • SpectorSoft • Instant Messaging • IMbrella • Global Relay • File usage • Network monitoring • Government Surveillance • Google! • Legal Issues remain!

  16. The Bottom Line • Surreptitious monitoring and network access • There are many ways, There will be more • Who is responsible? What is the law? • Privacy protection? • Is there a “Reasonable Expectation for Privacy” in network related activities? • Entrapment? • Do possible network intruders have rights? • If you operate an open wireless access point are you offering a service? • Jurisdictional issues
