Avoiding and Detecting Trouble • Education of users • Induction talks for all new starts • Reminders by weekly email • Clear statement of usage policy (AUP) • Clear investigatory procedure, including penalties that may be imposed • Technology • Registration for network access: web scripts + dhcp • Firewalls (policy?): Linux iptables • Anti-virus software + updates Sophos CID • Windows Update links on web site • Traffic monitoring / network scanning iptables, NetBrute • Secure, well designed systems Switches, Linux, iptables,… • Physical network segmentation
Approach for Internal Abuse • Penalties should mean that it is on the student’s record • Discussion is better than penalisation in terms of actually preventing further abuse: seeing a human being (even if it’s the network manager) reminds them that this is not a ‘pay-per view’ service • Get them on our side – one night of drunken stupidity doesn’t deserve revenge (or counter-revenge) • Recruit them as security evangelists: tell others
A Final Thought What would you do if you track down an abuse and find that the miscreant is…. YOUR BOSS!
