Classification of Connection Traceback Host-based Traceback • Traceback module should be installed in every system in the Internet • Using the installed traceback module  Traceback with authentication of the connection request system  Traceback by analyzing the log in the system • Can’t Apply to the Current Internet Environment Network-based Traceback • Traceback by extracting the information from packets on the network • Requirement : Traceback module should be installed in the position that can • monitor all packets Active Network based Traceback • Only can apply to Active Network • IDIP, Sleepy Watermark Tracing, Etc. ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  19. Host-based Traceback System ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  20. Traceback Module Host-based Traceback System • Traceback module should be installed in every system in the Internet` • Can’t Apply to the Current Internet Environment • Papers • CIS(Caller Identification System) • AIAA(Autonomous Intrusion Analysis Agent) • Etc. Hacker Only can find the information of the Host A Internet Host B Can find the information of the Hacker Attack Path Real Attack Connection Host A ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  21. UserID-1 UserID-2 UserID-(n-1) UserID-n CIS(Caller Identification System) • The Caller Identification System is basically made up of • A network connection request filter(ETCPW) located between the TCP/UDP and the servers in the application layer and • An authentication server(CIS) whose function is to grant any connection request only after authentication of caller and his or her network trace have been verified • Problems • Network load increasing, problem of integrity and privacy • H.T.Jung, “Caller Identification System in the Internet Environment”, Proceedings of the USENIX Security Symposium IV, 1993 … path Inform Verify ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  22. Agent Agent Agent Autonomous Intrusion Analysis Agent • Analysis • Find the hacking evidence and attack system by using the AIAA that can autonomously analyze the log in the compromised system • AIAA would be installed by administrator of the systems in the connection chain AIAA Server … Attacker (n-1) victim (n) victim ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  24. Network-based Traceback System ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  25. Network-based Traceback System • Traceback by extracting the information from packets on the network ==> Construct Connection Chain • Can apply to the current Internet Environment • Traceback module should be installed in the position that can monitor all packets Hacker Only can find the information of the Host A Internet Host B Traceback Module A Traceback Module B Can find the information of the Hacker Attack Path Real Attack Connection Host A ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  26. Connection Chain Definition • When a user on a computer H0 logs into another computer H1 via a network, a TCP connection C1 is established between them. When the user logs from H1 into another computer H2, and then H3, . . . , Hn successively in the same way, TCP connections C2, C3, . . ., Cn are established established respectively on each link between the computers. We call this sequence of connections C = (C1, C2, . . . , Cn) a connection chain H2 H1 H3 C3 C2 C4 C1 Network H0 Hn Cn Algorithm to identify the relations between connections • Thumbprints : Holding Intruders Accountable on the Internet • Sequence Number Deviation : Finding a Connection Chain for Tracing Intruders • Timing-Based Algorithm : Detecting Stepping Stones ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  27. Thumbprints • Idea • All the transmitted data in connections would be same if the connections are in the same connection chain • Thumbprints • A small quantity of data which have been effectively summarized from a certain section of a connection’s collected contents Compromised system Problems TCP Connection Internet 1. Can’t apply to the encrypted packet 2. False Positive, False negative Hacker Data : “ls” Victim Data : “ls” Data : “ls” ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  28. Timing based Algorithm • Idea • Strikingly distinct distribution of the spacing between user key stokes can be detected • All the connections would have the same interval between ON and OFF period • All the connections would be changed to ON period from OFF period at the almost same time • Notation • OFF period : there is no data traffic on a flow for more than Tidle seconds • ON period : Interval which is Not the OFF period Internet Hacker Victim Compromised system TCP Connection ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  29. Sequence Number • Paper • K. Yoda and H. Etoh, "Finding a Connection Chain for Tracing Intruders", In F. Guppens, Y. Deswarte, D. Gollamann, and M. Waidner, editors, 6th European Symposisum on Research in Computer Security - ESORICS 2000 LNCS -1985, Toulouse, France, Oct 2000. • Idea • Define the deviation for on packet stream on a connection from another, and implement a system to compute deviations. • If a deviation is small, the two connections must be in the same connection chain. Internet Hacker Victim Compromised system TCP Connection ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  30. On Going Project iTREX • Corp. : Silicon Defense – IDS development Corp. • Project : iTREX(Internet TRap and Trace EXperiments) • Approach: intend to develop methods that would allow victims of attacks to trace intruders across the Internet, even when those intruders use encrypted logins through a chain of hosts to disguise themselves New Idea • Correlation methods to compare connections based solely on timing and header information which should be possible to implement at wire speed. • Distributed protocols to allow a set of co-operating routers to trace the source of an attack through an extended connection. • To implement a working trap and trace facility for the internet. ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  31. Active Network based Traceback ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  32. Community Neighborhood 1 Discovery Coordinator Boundary Controller Neighborhood 3 Neighborhood 2 Boundary Controller Boundary Controller CITRA(1) • Infrastructure for integrating network-based intrusion detection systems, firewall, and routers to trace attacks back to their true source and block the attacks close to that source. • CITRA Community are administrative domains controlled by a management component called a Discovery Coordinator. • CITRA Communities consist of interconnected neighborhoods. • CITRA uses the IDIP protocol for centralized reporting of intrusion-related events, attack traceback, and automated response. CITRA(Cooperative Intrusion Traceback and Response Architecture) IDS CITRA Community ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  33. CITRA(2) • IDIP initial intrusion response • CITRA-enabled detector detects an attack • The detector sends a traceback message to each CITRA neighbor • Each boundary controller and host along the potential path of an attack uses the network audit trail to determine if the packets associated with the attack passed through it. If so, the device sends a traceback message to its neighbors ① ③ ② ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  34. CITRA(3) • IDIP (Intruder Detection and Isolation Protocol) • IDIP is organized into two primary protocol layers: the IDIP application layer and the IDIP message layer • The application layer protocol accomplishes intrusion tracking and containment through three major message types: (1) trace, (2) report, and (3) Discovery Coordinator directive IDIP Application IDIP Backplane Neighborhood Management - Node status • IDIP Message Layer • Reliable Delivery • Duplicate Removal • Multicast Support • Time Management IDIP Cryptographic Service - Authentication - Integrity - Privacy Key Management User Datagram Protocol Internet Protocol IDIP Backplane architecture ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  35. CITRA(4) • IDIP Application • One IDIP node in a community executes the Discovery Coordinator application. All IDIP nodes execute an IDIP agent application. • Discovery Coordinator application • When an IDIP node sends or processes a trace message it sends a copy of the attack description and responses to the Discovery Coordinator to know the path of the attack and the response taken by each component along the attack path. IDIP Detection Interface • IDIP Generic Agent • Message Processing • Connection search • Cost model Discovery Coordinator Core Service Correlation Engines Response Manager Response Engines Other Application IDIP Audit Data Component – Specific Functions Service blocking Discovery Coordinator API IDIP Audit IDIP Backplane IDIP Backplane IDIP Generic agent architecture Discovery Coordinator application view ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  36. Self-Extension Monitoring(1) • Idea • Self – Extension Monitoring observes the intruder’s activities at the host level. • If the intruder moves into another host, network level monitoring is carried out through program replication into the host as needed • Approach based on the Shadowing mechanism for monitoring hacking activities. Monitoring Approach • Host-level Monitoring • Host-level monitoring that observes the specified user on a single host and records the log. • The tty hijacking method is used to monitor the user at the host level. • Network-level Monitoring • network-level monitoring tools use connection hijacking to monitor and control the user’s activities. • There are several network-level monitoring tools with more functions, and these include IP-watcher on the UNIX system, hunt on the Linux and T-sight on Windows NT. ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  37. Self-Extension Monitoring(2) • IIS (Intruder Identification System) • IIS is developed on the basis of the Self-Extension Monitoring using the Shadowing and Replication Mechanisms. • This systems aims at disclosing the intruder’s identity accurately, and is composed of a single server(Intruder Identification Server) and unspecified several clients(Intruder Identification Client). Overview of IIS ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002

  38. Sleepy Watermark Tracing(1) • Paper • X. Wang, D. Reeves, S. F. Wu, and J. Yuill, "Sleepy Watermark Tracing: An Active Network-Based Intrusion Response Framework", Proceedings of IFIP Conference. on Security, Mar. 2001. • Active Network based Solution • Use the watermarked reply packet ITU-T Workshop on Security - Seoul(Korea), 13-14May 2002
