Explore the evolving threat categories, attack trends, and key challenges in cybersecurity. Learn about reconnaissance, unauthorized access, and denial-of-service threats. Understand the impact on ISPs and effective response measures. The session covers security monitoring, response flow, emergency preparedness, and case studies for in-depth analysis.

Security Threat • Threat Evolution and Trends • Threat Categories • Attacks Fundamental
Three Key Threat Categories • Reconnaissance Unauthorized discovery and mapping of systems, services, or vulnerabilities • Access Unauthorized data manipulation, system access, or privilege escalation • Denial of Service Disable or corrupt networks, systems, or services
How do these impact ISPs? • Reconnaissance–Happens all the time. It is part of the “attack noise” of the Internet (along with low level attacks and backscatter). • Access–Break-ins on the edge of an ISP’s network (I.e. customer CPE equipment) can impact the ISP’s core. • DOS–The core threat to an ISP – knocking out customers, infrastructure, and services.
Reconnaissance Methods • Common commands and administrative utilities nslookup, ping, netcat, telnet, finger, rpcinfo, File Explorer, srvinfo, dumpacl • Public tools Sniffers, SATAN, SAINT, NMAP, custom scripts
Denial of Service Methods • Resource Overload Disk space, bandwidth, buffers, ... Ping floods, SYN flood, UDP bombs, ... • Software bugs Out of Band Data Crash: Ping of death, fragmentation… • Toolkits TRINOO, Tribal Flood Net and friends • Distributed attacks for amplification
DoS type • Resource Overload Disk space, bandwidth, buffers, ... Ping floods, SYN flood, UDP bombs, ... • Out of Band Data Crash Ping of death, ... • Routing Capacity Fill up packet buffers, queues, flow tables, and processing capabilities.
DDOS Attack Characteristics • DDOS Arrays (handlers and agents) a maintenance intensive. Take time and effort to create. • Launching attacks from an agent can be considered a one shot weapon. Once the attack is launched, there is a risk of traceback. If someone traces back to the agent, they could watch and wait to see if the perpetrator returns to the agent.
