1、Active Defenses to Cyber AttacksUW Information School/Agora Workshop09/12/03Supported by a research grant from Cisco Systems Critical Infrastructure Assurance GroupAgenda Three floating moderators“Three hour tour”format Background(45 minutes)Open discussion of issues(1 hour)Attack Scenario(20 minute

2、s)9 potential AD actions(2 hours)10-15 minutes eachDesired outcome Get feedback on current outline of Active Defense Get ideas on pros/cons of AD actions Identify avenues of legal/ethical/technical research Identify alternatives and possible changes in laws,public/private CompSec policies Have a fun

11、or alter defensive capabilities inherent in the hardware,firmware,and/or software as delivered from the manufacturer or installer.”“Involved”Stage 1:“Doing Business”“The firm/system owner/operator establishes(either directly or via proxy)a baseline,tailored,day-to-day defensive posture involving onl

12、y resources directly owned or operated by that owner/operator.The posture is maintained/kept current.”“Interactive”Stage 2:“Weve Got a Problem”“The firm/system owner/operator applies measures,in response to warning or evidence of malfeasance,to resources directly owned or operated by them.The measur

13、es are beyond the baseline because they cause some loss of flexibility,capability,or ease of use and the owner/operator does not want/intend them to become routine business practice.”“Cooperative Response”Stage 3:“Reach out”“The firm/system owner/operator engages other organizations/firms/systems to

14、 take measures intended to attribute,mitigate,or eliminate the threat through cooperative efforts beyond the ability of the owner/operator to effect but within the lawful authority of the cooperating other party or parties.”“Non-cooperative Response”Stage 4:“.and Touch Someone.”“The firm/system owne

27、ucks via massive rolling DDoS attack(100-300 hosts at a time)Warbucks network is inoperative-difficulty tracing attack sources,but notes some at TMC,HKU,many other.edus,etc.HKU IRT was already investigating intrusions to hosts on their net(have isolated malware)Possible consequence of a disruptive A

28、D action towards TMCs network is death of a patientResponse Hackerman and C_prime both go through Stages 1 to 3 DDoS traffic cannot be entirely blocked by their upstream network provider DDoS network too large/dynamic to contact all sites involved Explore options at Stage 4Action A C_prime finds a s

29、niffer log on a compromised TMC system.This log exposes an account and password on a host in Canada(used as a cache and stepping stone by the attacker).She has the ability to enter the Canadian system with root privilege,and could periodically run operating system commands to monitor use and/or copy

30、 files off the system.Action B Using this same password,she could also shut this host down temporarily or semi-permanently,requiring administrator intervention.This could disable some/all of the DDoS network(cant be sure)Consequence:Host goes downAction C C_prime identifies means of controlling(even

31、 disabling)DDoS agents on other hosts.This knowledge could be used to shut down just the DDoS agents on all affected hosts at once during a DDoS attack.Consequence:DDoS agents stoppedAction D Hackerman scans the entire network at TMC,identifying all nodes(IP address,operating system type,all service

32、s enabled,versions of services.)Sends results to TMC network contact.Gets no reply.Action E Hackermans scan finds a router vulnerable to a one or more remote DoS attacks.Has the option of using exploits to disable this router.Consquence:Outage would affect all hosts on TMCs network that share this r

33、outer.(Possible result:Patient dies)Action F Hackerman scans just the identified DDoS agents at HKU&TMC(identifying operating system type,all services enabled,versions of services).Finds they are vulnerable to a remote exploit.Could use this means to enter and disable network access to these hosts.S

34、imilar to what RIAA/MPAA were proposing for copyright violators Consequence:Host losses network access(Similar to E)Action G Hackermans scan shows a large number of Windows desktops vulnerable to various DCOM flaws.Could modify publicly available exploits/worms to affect only systems on the HKU,TMC

35、networks,shutting them down.Consequence:Many hosts go down(Similar to E)Action H Another alternative for Hackerman could be to use DCOM exploits to take over control of one or more systems on TMCs network,using them to sniff traffic of the intruder as stepping stones are used.This could identify the

36、 intruder,or at least get one hop closer Consequence:None?Action I Hackerman is contacted by C_prime,who knows Warbucks is victim of massive DDoS.Provides Hackerman with information about suspected DDoS handlers,perhaps even attackers other stepping stones.Hackerman could attack these sites to try to pre-empt another round of attacks on Warbucks network.Consequence:?Action JAction KAction L
