Latest Trends in Cyber Security It’s Not Just You! Your Site Looks Down From Here Santo Hartono, ANZ Country Manager March 2014
Radware’s ERT 2013 Cases • Unique visibility into attacks behavior • Attacks monitored in real-time on a daily basis • More than 300 cases analyzed • Customers identity remains undisclosed
The Threat Landscape DDoS is the most common attack method! Attacks last longer Government and Financial Servicesare the most attacked vectors Multi-vector trend continues
DDoS Attacks Results Public attention Results of one-second delay in Web page loading: 3.5% decrease in conversion rate 2.1% decrease in shopping cart size 9.4% decrease in page views 8.3% increase in bounce rate Source: Strangeloop Networks, Case Study:The impact of HTML delay on mobile business metrics, November 2011
DDoS Attack Vectors SSL Floods Internet Pipe Firewall IPS/IDS ADC Attacked Server SQL Server HTTP Floods App Misuse “Low & Slow” DoS attacks (e.g.Sockstress) Large volume network flood attacks Connection Floods Syn Floods Brute Force Network Scan
Reflective Amplification Attacks on the Rise • Easier to create • Based on UDP protocol • Targeted protocols: DNS, NTP, SNMP • UDP connectionless nature enables to spoof the IP Address • Key feature in creating reflective attack • Obfuscates attacker real identity (IP address) • Amplification affect: 8 – 650 times larger than originated message
DNS Based Attacks • Most frequently used attack vector • Amplification affect • Regular DNS replies - a normal reply is 3-4 times larger than the request • Researched replies – can reach up to 10 times the original request • Crafted replies – attacker compromises a DNS server and ensures requests are answered with the maximum DNS reply message (4096 bytes) - amplification factor of up to 100 times
Notable Amplification Attack: Spamhaus • Nine day volumetric attack • First to break the ceiling of 100 Gbps • Attack reached bandwidth of 300 Gbps • Target: Anti-spam organization providing Internet service • Attacker: CyberBunker and Sven Olaf Kamphuis Internet Service Provider
Harder to Detect: Web Stealth Attacks • More than HTTP floods • Dynamic IP addresses • High distributed attack • Attacks using Anonymizers / Proxy • Attacks passing CDNs • Attacks that are being obfuscated by SSL • Attacks with the ability to pass C/R • Attacks that use low-traffic volume but saturate servers’ resources
Web Stealth Attacks • Attacks on Login Page are Destructive • Cause a DB search • Based on SSL • No load-balancing yet
Login Page Attacks Over 40% of organizations have experienced Login Page Attack in 2013
Behind the Scenes of Notable Attacks: Operation Ababil
“Innocence of Muslims” Movie July 12, 2012 “Innocence of Muslims” trailer released on YouTube September 11, 2012 World-wide protest against the movie resulting in the deaths of 50 people September 18, 2012 Operation Ababil begins

Fighting Cyber Attacks: Best Practices
Building the Strategy • DON’T assume that you’re not a target • BUILD your protection strategy and tactics • LEARN from the mistakes of others
Adding Tactics • Don’t believe the DDoS protection propaganda – Test instead • Understand the limitations of cloud-based scrubbing solutions • Not all networking and security appliance solutions were created equal
You Can’t Defend Against Attacks You Can’t Detect • Encrypted Low & Slow • Encrypted DoS Vulnerability • CDN/Proxy/Anonymizer attacks • Dynamic IP • Directed Attacks – Exploits • Scraping and Data Theft • Ajax and API attacks Application Server Front End Data Center Perimeter
You Can’t Defend Against Attacks You Can’t Detect • Network DDoS • SYN Floods • HTTP Floods Application Server Front End Data Center Perimeter Cloud Scrubbing
