Transcript Local Area Networks

Computer System Evolution
Central Data Processing System: - with directly attached peripherals (card reader,
magnetic tapes, line printer).
Local Area Networks: - connects PC’s (in “terminal emulation” mode), remote
terminals (next building) and mini-computers.
Premises Network: - connects LANs and LAN-attached devices to each other.
Enterprise-wide Network: - leased data lines (T1, DS-3) connect various offices.
Internet Connectivity: - initially for email, now for Web access, e-commerce, ... .
Makes the world accessible, but now the world also has access to you.

Firewalls (and many routers) can reject:
• Packets with certain source and destination addresses
• Packets with certain high-level protocols (UDP, Telnet)
Proxy Servers - for specific applications
• Email messages assembled and inspected, then passed to
internal email server machine.

Policy
No outside Web access.
Firewall Setting
Drop all outgoing packets to any IP, Port 80
Outside connections to Public Web
Server Only.
Drop all incoming TCP SYN packets to any IP
except 130:207:244.203, port 80
Prevent Web-Radios from eating up
the available bandwidth.
Drop all incoming UDP packets - except DNS
and Router Broadcasts.
Prevent your network from being
used for a Smuft DoS attack.
Drop all ICMP packets going to a “broadcast”
address (130.207.255.255 or 130.207.0.0).
Prevent your network from being
tracerouted or scanned.
Drop all incoming ICMP, UDP, or TCP echorequest packets, drop all packets with TTL < 5.

Firewall Attacks
Firewall Defense
IP Internal-Address Spoofing.
Drop all incoming packets with local address.
Source Routing (External Spoof).
Drop all IP packets with Source-Routing Option.
Tiny Fragment Attacks.
Drop all incoming packets with small offset.
2nd-Fragment Probes.
Assemble IP fragments (hard work).
SYN-ACK Probes.
Be “Stateful” -keep track of TCP outgoing SYN
packets (start of all TCP connections) (hard work).

A Firewall is a single point that a Network Administrator can
control, even if individual computers are managed by workers or
departments.
------Over half of corporate computer misfeasance is caused by
employees who are already behind the main firewall.
Solution 1 - isolate subnets with firewalls (usually routers or
Ethernet switches with “filter” capabilities). Protect Finance from
Engineering.
Solution 2 - implement “IP Chains” to limit access to individual
computers at the lowest protocol level possible, to specific hosts
and subnets.

IP Chains
/etc/hosts.deny
ALL:ALL
/etc/hosts.allow
in.telnetd: 199.77.146 24.88.154.17
in.ftpd: 199.77.146.19 199.77.146.102
UNIX and Linux computers allow network contact to be limited
to individual hosts or subnets (199.77.146 means 199.77.146.any).
Above, telnet connection is available to all on the 199.77.146.0
subnet, and a single off-subnet host, 24.88.154.17 FTP service is
available to only to two local hosts, .19 and .102.
The format for each line is “daemon:host-list”
