1 1 ITEC441- IS Security Chapter 15 Performing a Penetration Test The PenTest A penetration test (pentest) simulates methods that intruders use to gain unauthorized access to an organization s network and systems and to compromise them. The purpose of a penetration test is to test the security implementations and security policy of an organization. The goal is to see if the organization has implemented security measures as specified in the security policy. A hacker whose intent is to gain unauthorized access to an organization s network is different from a professional penetration tester. The professional tester lacks malice and intent and uses their skills to improve an organization s network security without causing a loss of service or a disruption to the business. Defining Security Assessments A penetration tester assesses the security posture of the organization as a whole to reveal the potential consequences of a real attacker compromising a network or application. Security assessments can be categorized as: security audits, vulnerability assessments, or penetration testing. Each security assessment requires that the people conducting the assessment have different skills based on the scope of the assessment. 2 Defining Security Assessments A security audit and a vulnerability assessment scan IP networks and hosts for known security weaknesses with tools designed to locate live systems, enumerate users, and identify operating systems and applications, looking for common security configuration mistakes and vulnerabilities. A vulnerability or security assessment only identifies the potential vulnerabilities whereas a pen test tries to gain access to the network. 3 Defining Security Assessments An example of a security assessment is looking at a door and thinking if that door is unlocked it could allow someone to gain unauthorized access, whereas a pen test tries to open the door to see where it leads. A pen test is usually a better indication of the weaknesses of the network or systems but it is more invasive and therefore has more potential to cause disruption to network service. 4 There are two types of security assessments: External assessments Internal assessments. An external assessment Tests and analyzes publicly available information, Conducts network scanning and enumeration, Runs exploits from outside the network perimeter, usually via the Internet. 5 1
2 An internal assessment is performed on the network from within the organization, with the tester acting either as an employee with some access to the network or as a black hat with no knowledge of the environment. A black-hat penetration test usually involves a higher risk of encountering unexpected problems. The team is advised to make contingency plans in order to effectively utilize time and resources. 6 You can outsource your penetration test if you don t have qualified or experienced testers On your security assessment, you must specify the scope of the assessment, including what is to be tested and what is not to be tested. For example, a pen test may be a targeted test limited to the first 10 systems in a demilitarized zone (DMZ) or a comprehensive assessment uncovering as many vulnerabilities as possible. In the scope of work, a service-level agreement (SLA) should be defined to determine any actions that will be taken in the event of a serious service disruption. 7 Other terms for engaging an assessment team can specify a desired code of conduct, the procedures to be followed, and the interaction or lack of interaction between the organization and the testing team. A security assessment or pen test can be performed manually with several tools, usually freeware or shareware, though the test may also include sophisticated fee-based software. A different approach is to use more expensive automated tools. 8 Assessing the security posture of your organization using a manual test is sometimes a better option than just using an automated tool based on a standard template. The company can benefit from the expertise of an experienced professional who analyzes the information. While the automated approach may be faster and easier, something may be missed during the audit However, a manual approach requires planning, scheduling, and diligent documentation. The only difference between true hacking and pen testing is permission. It is critical that a person performing a penetration test get written consent to perform the pen testing. 2
3 Penetration testing includes three phases: Pre-attack phase Attack phase Post-attack phase The pre-attack phase involves reconnaissance or data gathering. This is the first step for a pen tester. 12 Gathering data from Whois, DNS, and network scanning can help you map a target network and provide valuable information regarding the operating system and applications running on the systems. The pen test involves locating the IP block and using Whois domain name lookup to find personnel contact information, as well as enumerating information about hosts. 13 This information can then be used to create a detailed network diagram and identify targets. You should also test network filtering devices to look for legitimate traffic, stress-test proxy servers, and check for default installation of firewalls to ensure that default users IDs, passwords, and guest passwords have been disabled or changed and no remote login is allowed. 14 Next is the attack phase, During this phase, the tools can range from exploitive to responsive. They re used by professional hackers to monitor and test the security of systems and the network. These activities include but aren t limited to the following: 15 Penetrating the Perimeter This activity includes Looking at error reports, Checking access control lists by forging responses with crafted packets, and Evaluating protocol filtering rules by using various protocols such as SSH, FTP, and telnet. 16 Penetrating the Perimeter The tester should also test for Buffer overflows, SQL injections, Bad input validation, Output sanitization, and DoS attacks. In addition to performing software testing, you should allocate time To test internal web applications and Wireless configurations, Because the insider threat is the greatest security threat today. 17 3
4 Acquiring the Target This set of activities is more intrusive and challenging than a vulnerability scan or audit. You can use an automated exploit tool like CORE IMPACT or attempt to access the system through legitimate information obtained from social engineering. This activity also includes testing The enforcement of the security policy, or Using password cracking and privilege escalation tools To gain greater access to protected resources. 18 Escalating Privileges Once a user account has been acquired, the tester can attempt to give the user account more privileges or rights to systems on the network. Many hacking tools are able to exploit a vulnerability in a system and create a new user account with administrator privileges. 19 Executing, Implanting, and Retracting This is the final phase of testing. Your hacking skills are challenged by escalating privileges on a system or network while not disrupting business processes. Leaving a mark can show where you were able to gain greater access to protected resources. Many companies don t want you to leave marks or execute arbitrary code, and such limitations are identified and agreed upon prior to starting your test. 20 The post-attack phase involves restoring the system to normal pretest configurations, which includes Removing files, Cleaning Registry entries if vulnerabilities were created, and Removing shares and connections. Finally, you analyze all the results and create two copies of the security assessment reports, One for your records and One for management. 21 These reports include Your objectives, Your observations, All activities undertaken, and The results of test activities, Recommend fixes for vulnerabilities. 22 The Pen Test Legal Framework A penetration tester must be aware of the legal ramifications of hacking a network, even in an ethical manner. The documents that an ethical hacker performing a penetration test must have signed with the client are as follows: Scope of work, to identify what is to be tested Nondisclosure agreement, in case the tester sees confidential information Liability release, releasing the ethical hacker from any actions or disruption of service caused by the pen test 23 4
5 Automated Tools The following should be considered the top pen testing tools in a hacker s toolkit: (Up to Fyodor (http://insecure.org/fyodor/)) Nessus This freeware network vulnerability scanner has more than 11,000 plug-ins available. Nessus includes remote and local security checks, a client/server architecture with a GTK graphical interface, and an embedded scripting language for writing your own plugins or understanding the existing ones. 24 Automated Tools GFI LANguard This is a commercial network security scanner for Windows. GFI LANguard scans IP networks to detect what machines are running. It can determine the host operating system, what applications are running, what Windows service packs are installed, whether any security patches are missing, and more. Retina This is a commercial vulnerability assessment scanner from eeye. Like Nessus, Retina scans all the hosts on a network and reports on any vulnerabilities found. 25 Automated Tools CORE IMPACT CORE IMPACT is an automated pen testing product that is widely considered to be the most powerful exploitation tool available (it s also very costly). It has a large, regularly updated database of professional exploits. Among its features, it can exploit one machine and then establish an encrypted tunnel through that machine to reach and exploit other machines. 26 Automated Tools ISS Internet Scanner This is an application-level vulnerability assessment. Internet Scanner can identify more than 1,300 types of networked devices on your network, including desktops, servers, routers/switches, firewalls, security devices, and application routers. X-Scan X-Scan is a general multithreaded plug-in-supported network vulnerability scanner. It can detect service types, remote operating system types and versions, and weak usernames and passwords. 27 Automated Tools SARA Security Auditor s Research Assistant (SARA) is a vulnerability assessment tool derived from the System Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks (SATAN) scanner. Updates are typically released twice a month. QualysGuard This is a web-based vulnerability scanner. Users can securely access QualysGuard through an easyto-use web interface. It features more than 5,000 vulnerability checks, as well as an inference-based scanning engine. 28 Automated Tools SAINT Security Administrator s Integrated Network Tool (SAINT) is a commercial vulnerability assessment tool. MBSA Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) is built on the Windows Update Agent and Microsoft Update infrastructure. It ensures consistency with other Microsoft products and, on average, scans more than 3 million computers each week. 29 5
6 Automated Tools In addition to this list, you should be familiar with the following vulnerability exploitation tools: Metasploit Framework This is an open source software product used to develop, test, and use exploit code. Canvas Canvas is a commercial vulnerability exploitation tool. It includes more than 150 exploits. 30 Pen Test Deliverables The main deliverable at the end of a penetration test is the pen testing report. The report should include the following: A list of your findings, in order of highest risk An analysis of your findings A conclusion or explanation of your findings Remediation measures for your findings Log files from tools that provide supporting evidence of your findings An executive summary of the organization s security posture The name of the tester and the date testing occurred Any positive findings or good security implementations 31 The Last Words Security auditing or pen testing is a necessary part of running a secure networking environment. It is critical that a trusted and knowledgeable individual such as a CEH test the systems, applications, and components to ensure all security findings can be addressed by the organization. The organization can use the pen testing report as a measure of how successfully they have implemented the security plan and to make improvements on the data security. 32 6
