Jim Kurose, Keith Ross Addison-Wesley, March (section 8.9) Chapter 6: Network Access Control Network Security - PRIVATE Communication in a PUBLIC World C. Kaufman, R. Pearlman, M. Speciner Pearson Education, (chapter 23) 6: Network Access Control 6-1 Chapter 6: Network Access Control Chapter goals: security in practice: operational security Firewalls Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) 6: Network Access Control 6-2 1

2 Chapter Roadmap Firewalls Introduction and types of firewalls Traditional (stateless) packet filters Stateful packet filters Application gateways Circuit-level gateways Firewall configurations IDS: Intrusion Detection Systems 6: Network Access Control 6-3 Firewalls firewall isolates organization s internal net from larger Internet, allowing some packets to pass, blocking others administered network trusted good guys firewall public Internet untrusted bad guys 6: Network Access Control 6-4 2

3 Firewalls: Why? because the internal network is unlikely to be properly secured weak passwords, patches not installed, etc because the Internet is a scary place spies from unfriendly countries, users from competing companies, criminals, disgruntled ex-employees, vandals compensating their lack of social life by annoying others, to prevent denial of service attacks e.g., SYN flooding: attacker establishes many bogus TCP connections, no resources left for real connections to prevent illegal modification/access of internal data e.g., attacker replaces CIA s homepage with something else to allow only authorized access to inside network set of authenticated users/hosts 6: Network Access Control 6-5 Analogies Security is aggregated at a single point Analogies Apartments are locked at the entrance (not necessarily at each door) Passports are checked at the border of a country Offices don't usually have a door to the outside world Additional security precautions may be required under certain circumstances A bank has a vault to store money and valuable goods 6: Network Access Control 6-6 3

4 Firewall Design goals for a firewall: All traffic from inside to outside, and vice versa, must pass through the firewall Only authorized traffic, as defined by the local security policy, will be allowed to pass The firewall itself is immune to penetration Capabilities that are within the scope of a firewall It provides a location for monitoring security-based events. Audits and alarms can be implemented on it It is a convenient platform for several Internet functions that are not security related (network address translator, network management related to Internet usage, ) It can be used to implement Virtual Private Networks (VPN) by using a tunnel mode capability 6: Network Access Control 6-7 Limitations of firewalls The firewall cannot protect against attacks that bypass the firewall WiFi networks reachable from outside the company Dial-out capability of some systems to connect to an ISP Modem pool on an internal LAN to provide dial-in capability for traveling employees No protection against internal threats No protection against virus-infected programs or files Impractical or impossible to scan all the incoming files 6: Network Access Control 6-8 4

5 Firewall Policy Two levels of policy that directly influence the design, installation, and use of a firewall system: The higher-level policy, the service access policy, defines the TCP/IP protocols and services that should be allowed or denied from the protected network how these services should be used how exceptions to this policy are handled The lower-level policy, the firewall design policy, describes how the firewall actually goes about restricting access and filtering the TCP/IP protocols and services according to the service access policy The policy should be as flexible as possible To address the organization's needs to change as the Internet offers new services, 6: Network Access Control 6-9 Service Access Policy It is part of the Network Security Policy (NSP), which is a document that describes an organization's network security concerns and specifies how network security should be achieved Examples allow no inbound access to an intranet, but allow full outbound access to the Internet some inbound access, but perhaps only to selected systems, such as information servers or gateways allow access to some internal systems but only with strong user authentication Clear trade-off between the accessibility and security of intranet resources 6: Network Access Control

6 Firewall Design Policy It refines the Service Access Policy It defines the rules used by the firewall to implement the Service Access Policy One may implement one of the following two stances: Permit any service unless it is expressly denied Deny any service unless it is expressly permitted Preferable The first stance would allow users to access new services currently not denied run denied services on non standard ports not expressly denied by the policy 6: Network Access Control 6-11 Types of Firewalls 1. Packet filter, or packet-filtering router Stateless or stateful 2. Application, or application-level, gateway 3. Circuit-level gateway Firewall Application TCP IP (2) (3) (1) 6: Network Access Control

7 Chapter Roadmap Firewalls Introduction and types of firewalls Traditional (stateless) packet filters Stateful packet filters Application gateways Circuit-level gateways Firewall configurations IDS: Intrusion Detection Systems 6: Network Access Control 6-13 Stateless packet filtering Should arriving packet be allowed in? Departing packet let out? internal network connected to Internet via router firewall router filters packet-by-packet, decision to forward/drop packet based on: source IP address, destination IP address other IP protocol fields TCP/UDP source and destination port numbers ICMP message type TCP SYN and ACK bits Not solely based on IP header! 6: Network Access Control

8 Stateless packet filtering: example example 1: block incoming and outgoing datagrams with IP protocol field = 17 and with either source or dest port = 23 result: all incoming, outgoing UDP flows and telnet connections are blocked example 2: block inbound TCP segments with SYN=1, ACK=0 result: prevents external clients from making TCP connections with internal clients, but allows internal clients to connect to outside 6: Network Access Control 6-15 Stateless packet filtering: more examples Policy No outside Web access No incoming TCP connections, except those for institution s public Web server Prevent Web-radios from eating up the available bandwidth Prevent your network from being used for a smurf DoS attack Prevent your network from being tracerouted Firewall Setting Drop all outgoing packets to any IP address, port 80 Drop all incoming TCP SYN packets to any IP except , port 80 Drop all incoming UDP packets - except DNS and router broadcasts Drop all ICMP packets going to a broadcast address (e.g., ) Drop all outgoing ICMP TTL expired traffic 6: Network Access Control

9 Packet Filter Rules Two parts Selection criteria: sort of pattern matching Action field: action to be taken if an IP packet meets the selection criteria Block (deny) Permit (allow) ACL: Access Control Lists For each incoming IP packet: check the selection criteria in sequence until one matches the packet, the order is thus relevant apply the specified action and stop checking remaining rules if no rule matches the packet, apply the default policy or add the default policy at the end with a wildcard pattern 6: Network Access Control 6-17 Access Control Lists ACL: table of rules, applied top to bottom to incoming packets: (action, condition) pairs action source address allow dest address outside of protocol source port dest port flag bit TCP > any allow outside of TCP 80 > 1023 ACK allow allow outside of outside of UDP > UDP 53 > deny all all all all all all 6: Network Access Control

10 IP spoofing attack IP spoofing: the source IP address has been modified by an intruder e.g.: Trudy replaces her address by the address of a trusted host on the intranet Nothing ensures the authenticity of a source IP address Sequence number prediction attack based on IP spoofing Alice trusts Bob Trudy uses Bob's address to open a connection with Alice Trudy sends a TCP SYN segment to Alice with initial number x Alice replies by a SYN-ACK segment with her initial number y, to Bob! Trudy should intercept this message (otherwise Bob sends back a RST) Typically by using a SYN flooding attack on Bob Trudy should reply to Alice with an ACK (y+1) but does not know y! Should guess it! Not that difficult in practice: y is not random Firewall solution to block IP spoofing: Add a packet filter rule that discards any inbound packet that contains a source IP address of an internal machine 6: Network Access Control 6-19 IP Fragmentation Problem When an IP packet is fragmented, only the first fragment contains the transport (TCP or UDP) header! First possibility: Filtering is applied to first fragment Other fragments pass through Anyway, when reassembled, partial IP packets (without 1st fragment) are discarded by the destination But: may still be dangerous for outbound packets, because big parts of transport segments could escape the intranet (possibly with sensitive data) Other possibility: Maintain a cache of recently seen first fragments, together with the associated action (Permit or Deny) that was applied Apply same decision to non first fragments May not work if first fragment does not arrive first (reordering)! Not stateless any longer! 6: Network Access Control

11 Chapter Roadmap Firewalls Introduction and types of firewalls Traditional (stateless) packet filters Stateful packet filters Application gateways Circuit-level gateways Firewall configurations IDS: Intrusion Detection Systems 6: Network Access Control 6-21 Stateful packet filtering stateless packet filter: heavy handed tool admits packets that make no sense, e.g., dest port = 80, ACK bit set, even though no TCP connection established: action source address dest address protocol source port dest port flag bit allow outside of TCP 80 > 1023 ACK stateful packet filter: track status of every TCP connection track connection setup (SYN), teardown (FIN): can determine whether incoming, outgoing packets make sense timeout inactive connections at firewall: no longer admit packets 6: Network Access Control

12 Stateful packet filtering ACL augmented to indicate need to check connection state table before admitting packet action source address allow allow outside of allow allow outside of dest address outside of outside of proto source port dest port flag bit TCP > any check connecti on TCP 80 > 1023 ACK x UDP > UDP 53 > x deny all all all all all all 6: Network Access Control 6-23 Discussion on packet filtering Packet filters (screening routers) are used and widely deployed, for several reasons: It is a low-cost technology It is transparent to applications (no changes needed) It is not based on cryptography: good for worldwide distribution Packet filters are not a panacea, because they have weaknesses Configuring packet filter rules correctly is difficult and errorprone Is optimized for the router, not for the administrator Care with the rule ordering is required, when there are exceptions Requires intricate knowledge of TCP/IP Think in terms of bidirectional flows whose characteristics may be different No user authentication Rules are applied to non authenticated packets 6: Network Access Control

13 Chapter Roadmap Firewalls Introduction and types of firewalls Traditional (stateless) packet filters Stateful packet filters Application gateways Circuit-level gateways Firewall configurations IDS: Intrusion Detection Systems 6: Network Access Control 6-25 Application gateways filters packets on application data as well as on IP/TCP/ UDP fields example: allow select internal users to telnet outside host-to-gateway telnet session application gateway router and filter gateway-to-remote host telnet session 1. Require all telnet users to telnet through gateway 2. For authorized users, gateway sets up telnet connection to dest host. Gateway relays data between the 2 connections 3. Router/filter blocks all telnet connections not originating from gateway 6: Network Access Control

14 Application Gateways An application-level gateway, also called proxy server, acts as a relay of application-level traffic The user (from the intranet or the Internet) contacts the gateway using a TCP/IP application, such as Telnet or FTP, and the gateway asks the user for the name of the remote host to be accessed When the user responds and provides a valid user ID and authentication information, the gateway contacts the application on the remote host and relays the application data between the two endpoints If the gateway does not implement the proxy code for a specific application, the service is not supported and cannot be forwarded across the firewall The gateway can be configured to support only specific features of an application that the network administrator considers acceptable, while denying others 6: Network Access Control 6-27 More on application gateways Such gateway must have as many proxy servers as there are applications to be supported The authentication may be different if the user is from the intranet or from the Internet, e.g., From intranet: simple list of IP addresses allowed to connect to external applications (IP spoofing possible) From Internet: strong authentication An application gateway relays TCP segments between the two TCP connections in the 2 directions (Client < > Proxy < > Server) For outbound packets, the gateway may replace the source IP address by its own IP address (NAT) Internal IP addresses are not exposed to the Internet 6: Network Access Control

15 Impact of proxies on the client The use of proxy servers usually requires some customization and modification of either user procedures or client software The approach just explained has no impact on the client's software, but the user has to be trained for an extra step to logon to the proxy Another approach is to customize and modify the client software Provides transparency to users accessing the Internet Done by additional software at the client that intercepts and directs the application traffic Not always easy and feasible The 2 approaches have their disadvantages 6: Network Access Control 6-29 Filtering application exchanges Another benefit of a proxy server is that application protocols can be filtered Examples Filter out inbound FTP PUT command Filter out Java applets and ActiveX controls from HTTP traffic in order to protect internal hosts from executable content and softwaredriven attacks 6: Network Access Control

16 Chapter Roadmap Firewalls Introduction and types of firewalls Traditional (stateless) packet filters Stateful packet filters Application gateways Circuit-level gateways Firewall configurations IDS: Intrusion Detection Systems 6: Network Access Control 6-31 Circuit-level gateway The circuit-level gateway is an intermediate solution between the packet filter and the application gateway Runs at the transport layer, and can thus act as proxy for any application Like an application gateway, the circuit-level gateway does not permit an end-to-end TCP connection Rather, it sets up 2 TCP connections too and relays the TCP segments from one to the other But, it does not examine the application data Typical use When the system administrator trusts the internal users, a circuit-level gateway is enough for outbound connections No overhead for outgoing data An application gateway can still be used for inbound connections Requires to modify the client software too For transparency 6: Network Access Control

17 SOCKS SOCKS (RFC 1928) refers to a circuit-level gateway SOCKS is a networking proxy mechanism that enables hosts on one side of a SOCKS server to gain full access to hosts on the other side without requiring direct IP reachability Client software should be socksified Most recent HTTP clients have been socksified The client has to connect to the SOCKS server at the firewall It is attached to a well-known port Then the client enters a negotiation for the authentication method to be used, and authenticates with the chosen method Then the client sends a connection relay request to the SOCKS server, containing the desired destination IP address and transport port The SOCKS server informs the client, and in case of success starts relaying the data between the 2 connections An alternative to socksifying clients would be to socksify the TCP/IP stack 6: Network Access Control 6-33 Chapter Roadmap Firewalls Introduction and types of firewalls Traditional (stateless) packet filters Stateful packet filters Application gateways Circuit-level gateways Firewall configurations IDS: Intrusion Detection Systems 6: Network Access Control

18 Firewall configurations Packet filters and gateways are usually combined in firewall configurations Three firewall configurations: Dual-homed firewalls Screened host firewalls Screened subnet firewalls 6: Network Access Control 6-35 Dual-Homed Firewalls The term multihomed host is generally used to refer to a host with multiple network interfaces If IP routing and IP forwarding are disabled on the multihomed host, it provides isolation between the network segments and may be used in a firewall configuration accordingly Bastion Host Intranet (Application gateway) Packet filter Internet Intermediate LAN The packet filter ensures that any IP packet arriving from the Internet is correctly addressed to the Bastion Host The intermediate LAN could host other systems (e.g. information or network access servers) 6: Network Access Control

19 Entire architecture of a Dual- Homed Firewall Packet filter Intranet Bastion Host (Application gateway) Packet filter Internet Inner LAN Outer LAN The Bastion host could also be replicated for efficiency reasons Parallel dual-homed firewall Distribute the proxy or SOCKS servers on several bastion hosts 6: Network Access Control 6-37 Screened host firewalls Intranet Bastion Host (Application gateway) Packet filter Internet The Bastion host has a unique network interface One does not need an intermediate LAN Requires fewer IP addresses The packet filter, after filtering, must forward all IP traffic originated from the Internet to the Bastion Host Forwarding tables must be configured correctly and must be protected More flexible Some applications could be accessed directly without passing through the Bastion host If no proxy exists (proprietary app.) or if they are felt harmless (e.g. NTP) Less secure 6: Network Access Control

20 Screened subnet firewalls Intranet Packet filter Bastion Host (Application gateway) Packet filter Internet Inner subnet, also called Sandbox or demilitarized zone (DMZ) Adds an extra security layer with respect to the screened host firewall Both the Internet and the internal network have access to the DMZ, but traffic across the DMZ is blocked Note that the bastion host (and the additional servers on the DMZ) could be set up so that they would be the only systems seen from the Internet No other system name needs to be known or used in a DNS database accessible from the outside world And similarly for the intranet 6: Network Access Control 6-39 Limitations of firewalls and gateways IP spoofing: router can t know if data really comes from claimed source if multiple app s need special treatment, each has own app. gateway. client software must know how to contact gateway. e.g., must set IP address of proxy in Web browser filters often use all or nothing policy for UDP tradeoff: degree of communication with outside world versus level of security many highly protected sites still suffer from attacks 6: Network Access Control

21 Discussion Firewalls are a fact of life Provide effective access control, but this is not a panacea It is not a substitute for careful security management within a corporate intranet Attacker could disguise traffic by carrying it in a firewall-friendly protocol like HTTP No protection against data-driven attacks E.g. Virus-infected softwares If an external intruder has an accomplice in the intranet, they can set up a (authorized) tunnel through the firewall Basically, firewalls are not a solution to network security problems, but a network response to host security problems Historical analogies During Stone Age, everyone knew everyone in the same cave No need for security In the Middle Ages, they lived in castles or villages surrounded by town walls History has shown that this security model does not work either The Internet has entered the Middle Ages 6: Network Access Control 6-41 Chapter Roadmap Firewalls Introduction and types of firewalls Traditional (stateless) packet filters Stateful packet filters Application gateways Circuit-level gateways Firewall configurations IDS: Intrusion Detection Systems 6: Network Access Control

22 Intrusion detection systems packet filtering: operates on TCP/UDP/IP headers only no correlation check among sessions IDS/IPS: Intrusion Detection/Prevention System Deep Packet Inspection (DPI): look at packet contents (e.g., check character strings in packet against database of known virus, attack strings) Application gateways do that too, but only for specific applications examine correlation among multiple packets port scanning network mapping DoS attack IDS: send alert - IPS: drop packets beyond that, similar 6: Network Access Control 6-43 Intrusion detection systems multiple IDSs: different types of checking at different locations firewall internal network Internet IDS sensors Web DNS server FTP server server demilitarized zone 6: Network Access Control

23 Types of IDS Signature-based IDS Needs a database of known attacks with their signatures Signature defines types and order of packets characterizing an attack Limitations: Only known attacks detected False alarm possible: a normal packet stream may match the signature of an attack Well-known public open-source IDS: Snort Anomaly-based IDS Create traffic profile in normal operation Look at traffic profiles that are statistically unusual, e.g. ICMP unusual load, exponential growth in port scans, etc. Challenge: how to distinguish between normal traffic and statistically unusual traffic? 6: Network Access Control 6-45 Summary Firewalls Types of firewalls Stateless packet filters Stateful packet filters Application gateways Circuit-level gateways Firewall configurations Dual-homed Screened host Screened subnet IDS: Intrusion Detection Systems Signature-based versus anomaly-based 6: Network Access Control
