  5. 0 15 16 31 UDP Source Port UDP Destination Port UDP Checksum UDP Message Length Data . . . USER DATAGRAM PROTOCOL • UDP Source/Destination Port. 1. The port numbers identify the receiving and sending process. It demultiplexes the UDP datagram to a particular process running on the computer. 2. The IP demultiplexes the incoming IP datagram to either TCP or UDP based upon the protocol value in the IP header. The UDP demultiplexes the UDP datagram to a particular application depending upon the port number. 3.The port number and the IP address allow any application in any computer on internet to be uniquely identified. 4. UDP port number can be both static and dynamic. • Static ports (<= 1023) are assigned by a central authority and are sometimes called Universal Assignments or well-known port assignments. • Typical static ports are 7 = Echo, 37 = time, 69 = TFTP, 161 = SNMP net monitor, 514 = System log, 520 = RIP. • Dynamic ports are not globally known but are assigned by software. These numbers are 0 - 65535 (minus the static port assignments). • UDP Message Length. This field indicates the size of the UDP header and its data in bytes. The minimum size must be 8 (size of header).

  17. NAT Review

  18. Overview • The IAB identified three immediate Internet danger • 1. INTERNIC is fast exhausting Class B addresses. • 2. The increase in networks/hosts has resulted in a routing table explosion. • 3 The increase in networks/host is fast depleting the 32 bit address space. • Class B Exhaustion(Three Bears Problem). • Class A : 8/24:256 networks:16,772,214 hosts - to scarce(IANA assigned ). • Class B : 14/16:16384 networks:65534 hosts - about right for subnetting. • Class C : 21/8: 2,097,152 networks:254 hosts - to narrow. • Routing Table Explosion • This is a catch all term for all the problems posed by the manipulation of large data bases.

  19. IP Address Depletion Strategies • The InterNIC adopted four major strategies for handling the depletion of the IP addresses. • Creative IP Address Space Allocation. RFC 2050 - Internet Registry IP Allocation Guidelines • Private Addresses/Network Address Translation (NAT). RFC 1918 - Address Allocation for Private Networks. RFC 1631 - The IP Network Address Translator. • Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR). RFC 1519 - Class InterDomain Routing(CIDR): An Address and Aggregation Strategy. • IP Version 6 (IPv6). RFC 1883 - Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6).

  20. Private IP Addresses • Private IP addresses relax the rule that IP addresses are globally unique. • This IP conservation technique reserves part of the IP address space for use exclusively within an organization. • The organization does not require connectivity to the Internet. • IANA reserves three ranges of IP addresses for "Private Internets": • 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 A single Class A network • 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 Sixteen continuous Class B Networks • 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 256 contiguous Class C networks • Any organization can use these addresses provide they adhere to the following rules: • They cannot be referenced by hosts in another organization. • They cannot be defined to any external router. • Organization with private addresses cannot externally advertise those IP addressees and cannot forward IP datagrams containing those addresses to external routers. • External routers will quietly discard all routing information regarding these addresses. • All connectivity to an Internet host must be provided by a Network Address Translator.

  21. Network Address Translator Translate Pool Private Network Map Static Addresses Internet Exclude Network Address Translators • NATs are based upon the idea that only a small part of the hosts in a private network will communicate outside that network. • Nats are a solution for those organizations that use Non-routable IP addresses. • A NAT, normally part of a Firewall, is positioned between the Private Network and the Internet and: • Dynamically translates the private IP address of an outgoing packet into an Internet IP address. • Dynamically translates the return Internet IP address into a private IP address. • Only TCP/UDP Packets are translated by NAT. For example, the Private Network cannot be Pinged (ie. ICMP is not supported). • NAT hides the internal network from the view of outsiders.

  22. NAT Translation Modes • Static Translation (Port Forwarding) A fixed IP translation between internal resources with non-routable IP addresses and a specific external routable IP Address. • Dynamic Translation (Automatic, Hide Mode, IP Masquerade or NAPT) A large group of internal resources are dynamically given non-routable IP address which are translated into a single external, non-routable IP address. Each internal resource is uniquely identified by an external port number. • Load Balancing Translation: A single external IP address is translated into a pool of identically configured servers. A single external IP address serves a number of servers. • Network Redundancy Translation: A single Firewall is attached to multiple Internet connections that the firewall can use for load balancing or redundancy.

  23. Static Translation Source Destination Source Destination 10.4.3.1 10.4.3.1 198.34.2.5 200.10.4.10 198.34.2.5 198.34.2.5 Private Network Internet Nat Pool 10.4.3.2 10.4.3.1 200.10.4.10 10.4.3.2 200.10.4.11 <Free> 200.10.4.12 • The Private Network is assigned non-routable addresses. • The NAT pool are registered IP address that resolve to the external address of the Private Network. • For outgoing packets a NAT Pool IP address is substituted for the source IP address. • For incoming packets the original IP address is reinserted as the destination IP address replacing the NAT pool address.

  27. Firewall Configuration Rules

  28. Firewall Decisions • Rules by Security Levels? • Paranoid: Nothing is allowed(no external connections) - The organization has been hacked and its paranoid. • Cautious: That which is not explicitly permitted is not allowed. The default policy is to deny. • Optimistic: That which is not explicitly prohibited is allowed. The default policy is to allow. • Open: Everything is allowed. This organization has not been hacked. • NOTE: Instructor's recommendation: BE CAUTIOUS. • Rules by traffic (protocol) needs? • Browser (HTTP). • Address Resolution (DNS). • Electronic Mail (SMTP). • Network Management (SMTP).

  29. Rules for Rules • First Match (Apply in order). • Place the most specific rules at the top of the rule set and • Place the least specific rules a the bottom of the rule set. • Group like protocol rules. • Firewall Performance. • Place those protocols bearing the most traffic at the top of the rule set. • This will generally be HTTP. • The Firewall must distinguish packets. • By the arrival/departure interface. • By Type of packet. • By the Source/Destination Address. • By source/Destination Port. • By IP Header Option • By ICMP Message • By ACK bit.

  30. Typical Configuration Rules NOTE: These rules are generic examples and not specific to any Firewall. They are presented at the cautious level. The rule is to handle only HTTP and SMTP traffic Rule Direct SIP SPRT DIP DPRT OPT Flag PKT TYP ACT HTTP1 Out Any >1023 Any 80 Any SYN TCP Any Pass Allow an outgoing connection from to HTTP server. HTTP2 In Any 80 Any >1023 Any SYN TCP Any Pass Allow already established HTTP traffic to travel back through the firewall. SMTP1 Out Any SServ Any 25 Any SYN TCP Any Pass Allow the mail server to establish a outgoing connection. SMTP2 In Any 25 Any SServ Any Any TCP Any Pass Allow incoming connections to the mail server.. SMTP3 In Any Any Not SServ 25 Any ACK TCP Any Drop Disallow any connection form the outside other than to the mail server. HTTP3 In Any Any Not WServ 80 Any Any TCP Any Drop Disallow any connection form the outside other than to the mail server..

  31. Typical Configuration Rules (cont…) NOTE: These rules are generic examples and not specific to any Firewall. They are presented at the cautious level. These are examples of spoofing rules. Rule Direct SIP SPRT DIP DPRT OPT Flag PKT TYP ACT Source In Any Any Any Any Source Any Any Any Drop Drop all Source-Routed Packets. Spoof1 In Internal Any Any Any Any Any Any Any Drop Drop all packets that appear on the external interface that have an internal IP address.

Stop1 In 196.7.9.9 Any Any Any Any Any Any Any Drop Drop any packets from this specific IP address.

  32. Typical Configuration Rules (cont…) NOTE: These rules are generic examples and not specific to any Firewall. They are presented at the cautious level. These are examples of ICMP Rules to pass packets. Rule Direct SIP SPRT DIP DPRT OPT Flag PKT TYP ACT ICMP1 In Any Any Any Any Any Any ICMP Source Quench Pass Allow ICMP Source Quench packets from External hosts. ICMP2 Out Any Any Any Any Any Any ICMP Echo Request Pass Allow Echo Requests outbound.. ICMP3 In Any Any Any Any Any Any ICMP Echo Reply Pass Allow the replies to the echo request to be returned.

ICMP6 In Any Any Any Any Any Any ICMP Serv Unav Pass Allow the ICMP Service Unavailable packets from the external hosts. ICMP7 In Any Any Any Any Any Any ICMP TTL Exced Pass Allow the ICMP Time-to-Live exceeded from external hosts.

  33. Typical Configuration Rules (cont…) NOTE: These rules are generic examples and not specific to any Firewall. They are presented at the cautious level. These are examples of ICMP Rules to drop packets.
