Why Protocol Abuse Works
The Protocols are OLD! Created during a more
friendly time in networking.
Were not created with authentication
measures or security in mind
Engineers were focused on transmitting data
without errors, not who was sending it or
what was being sent.

Lets spoof some DHCP!
You can trust
me, I’m a nice
DHCP Server.
;)
5
DHCP Spoofing – Function
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP),
permits host connected to a Local Area
Network(LAN) segment to be dynamically
assigned parameters necessary for the host to
send and receive data over a network. The
exchange of DHCP information is sent as a
'broadcast', which means that any host on the
LAN segment will receive a copy of the DHCP
exchange.
6
DHCP Spoofing – Function
Normally, a host would ignore this
exchange, but Ettercap has a feature built
in to intercept and quickly reply to these
DHCP messages before the authentic
DHCP server can reply. This will cause
the host to continue the exchange with
the Ettercap and ignore the authenticate
server.
7
DHCP Spoofing – Function
The main purpose of this is to tell the host to
use the Ettercap machine as its 'Default
Gateway', the address it will forward data
destined for off the network. This will allow
for a 'Half-Duplex' MitM, meaning the attacker
will only see half of the exchange, as the
return packets will not be seen by the attacker
unless combined with tunneling techniques.

DHCP Spoofing – Countermeasures
To combat not only Ettercap, but
all rogue DHCP Servers, the ‘IP
DHCP Snooping’ process will be
enabled. Available on both
Layer2&3 switches, DHCP
Snooping applies a two pronged
approach.
16
DHCP Spoofing – Countermeasures
IP DHCP Snooping only allows authentic
DHCP servers to be able to reply to
transactions. Rogue servers that send
replies to DHCP request will have the
reply packet dropped by the switch and a
log message will be generated. The
DHCP Transaction will still be visible to all
host on the LAN segment, but replies are
strictly policed using 'Trusted Interfaces'.
17
DHCP Spoofing – Countermeasures
DHCP replies received on a Trusted
Interface(Switch port) are forwarded
automatically, however, all ports on the
switch will be Untrusted by default.
Only ports leading to Gateway Routers
and/or other DHCP Snooping enabled
switches should be set to Trusted.
18
DHCP Spoofing – Countermeasures
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Unless your DHCP server supports Option 82
tagging, you must disable it! Cisco switches
by default will tag snooped DHCP
transactions with Option 82 information
before forwarding. This will more than likely
cause the DHCP server to ignore the request,
creating an inadvertent DoS situation.
19
DHCP Spoofing – Configuration
• Enable IP DHCP Snooping process
– Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping
• Define which VLAN's to be Snooped
– Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping vlan <VLAN_RANGE>
• Ie. 1,2,3-5,8-10,23,25-50
• Disable DHCP Option 82 tagging
– Switch(config)# no ip dhcp snooping information option
20
DHCP Spoofing – Configuration
• Trust Gateway/Inter-Switch Links
– Switch(config)# int fa0/1
– Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping trust
• Create a DHCP Binding Database
– Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping database <URL>
• Best Practice is to store this DB in Switch Flash Memory
• Re-DHCP all host on the LAN segment to populate
the DHCP Binding DB
21
DHCP Spoofing – Countermeasures
Bonus!
• To prevent DHCP Starvation Attacks,
set a DHCP packet-per-second limit
on untrusted interfaces
– Switch(config-if)# int range fa0/2-24
– Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping limit rate
<#_OF_DHCP_PPS>
• 3 DHCP Packets-Per-Second is a best practice
22
Won’t some one think of the child.. Er… ARPs?!
All your
ARPS are
belongs
to us!
23
ARP Poisoning - Function
Address Resolution Protocol(ARP), allows
host to communicate over a LAN
segment with each other. Networks are
defined by their physical(Layer2), and
logical(Layer3) design, or topology. It is
normal for the two topologies to be
completely different, and ARP allows for
a mapping between the two.
24
ARP Poisoning - Function
This is important due to the fact of
how switches and routers forward
data. Switches forward data
primarily based on the physical
topology, where as Routers forward
based solely on the logical topology.
If layer 2 can be controlled, so can
every other OSI Layer above it.
25
ARP Poisoning - Function
By producing falsified ARP broadcast,
Ettercap can convince both host and
Routers alike to forward all of their traffic
through the attacker's host physical
address. Ettercap will basically trick all or
some of the host on the LAN, that its
physical address is equal to the victim's
logical address.
26
ARP Poisoning - Function
This is very powerful, as it creates a FullDuplex MitM, in that both sent and
received data will be seen by the
attacker. Particularly powerful
functionality of Ettercap is the ability to
intercept negotiation of encryption
parameters for SSH and SSL tunnels,
allowing the attacker to read the
encrypted data in plain text.

ARP Poisoning - Countermeasures
Cisco Switches, both layer2 & layer3,
support a process called 'Dynamic
ARP Inspection'(DAI). The DAI
process works in tandem with DHCP
Snooping. DHCP Snooping builds an
internal database of Layer2-to-3
mappings, the very thing ARP is used
to determine.
36
ARP Poisoning - Countermeasures
Since the switch has seen the entire
DHCP transaction, and knows which
of its switch ports the request came
from, it is able to track these
bindings to indentify false ARP
broadcast and kill them before they
propagate to other host.
37
ARP Poisoning - Countermeasures
Every Invalid ARP Reply will be
dropped by the switch and generates
a log message. ARP Request will still
be allowed to propagate as normal,
since they need to reach their target
to elicit a reply.
38
ARP Poisoning - Countermeasures
Only ARP Replies are being policed,
and must pass inspection of the first
receiving switch, which will then
place it in a 'trust-zone' of clean
ARPs. DAI places all interfaces in an
untrusted state by default, meaning
ARP replies received on that
interface must be validated.
39
ARP Poisoning - Countermeasures
Router/Inter-switch Links connected
only to other DAI enabled switches
should be trusted(ARP Access-List is
a more secure option for routers).
Host that have static network
assignments, will have a static
binding set on the switch they are
directly connected too.
40
ARP Poisoning - Configuration
• Enable DAI Process on appropriate VLANs
– Switch(config)#ip arp inspection <VLAN_RANGE>
• Trust links connected ONLY to Routers & other
DAI enabled switches
– Switch(config)# int fa0/1
– Switch(config-if)# ip arp inspection trust
• Set a ARP PPS limit on untrusted interfaces
– Switch(config)# int range fa0/2-24
– Switch(config-if)# ip arp inspection limit rate
<#_OF_ARP_PPS>
41
ARP Poisoning - Configuration
• Define static bindings for non-DHCP host
– Switch(config)#arp access-list <ARP_ACL_NAME>
– Switch(config-acl)# permit ip host <HOST_IP> mac
host <HOST_MAC> [log]
• ie. permit ip host 192.168.1.1 mac host 1111.1111.1111 log
• [REPEAT 'permit' STATEMENT FOR
EACH STATICLY ASSIGNED HOST]
•
Switch(config-acl)# exit
42
ARP Poisoning - Countermeasures
• Apply ARP ACL to DAI process
– Switch(config)# ip arp inspection filter
<ARP_ACL_NAME> vlan <VLAN_RANGE> [static]
• ARPs matched in the ARP ACL 'permit' statements
will not be checked against the DHCP snooping
database. Use the 'static' keyword with caution, as
the ACL is checked before the DHCP Snooping
Database. When 'static' is set, if no match is found in
the ARP ACL, the ARP Reply will be considered invalid
without checking the DHCP Snooping Database!
43
ICMP; Networking Ballistic Missiles!
Break Out
the SPF
9000!
44
ICMP Redirects - Function
The Internet Control Message Protocol(ICMP) is
in reality a small suite of protocols used to
pass network information between nodes.
ICMP is more or less a legacy protocol, in that
most of its functionality has been replaced
and improved upon by other protocols.
However, host operating systems still process
most, if not all, ICMP request in the spirit of
backwards compatibility.
45
ICMP Redirects - Function
ICMP Redirects were used to notify routers/host
about better pathways to reach specific
networks. Ettercap can send these Redirects
to host on a LAN telling them to forward
traffic for other networks to the Attacker
instead of their default gateway. This is a very
simple Half-Duplex MitM by itself, but can be
combined with techniques to gleen host
information& become Full-Duplex.

ICMP Redirects - Countermeasures
VLAN Access-Control Lists(VACLs), can be
configured on Layer3 switches to police traffic
passing within a VLAN. Unlike traditional
ACLs, VLANs do not understand the concept of
'inbound' or 'outbound', so they are applied
with the use of a ‘VLAN access-map'. VLAN
Access-maps can reference ACLs to determine
protocols that can be allowed or denied on
the VLAN segment.
50
ICMP Redirects – Configuration
• !Define Extended ACL!
– The 'permit' statement does not mean
ICMP redirects will be permitted, but that
the VLAN access-map is allowed to act upon
packets that match it.
• Switch(config)#ip access-list extended <ACL_NAME>
• Switch(config-acl)# permit icmp any any redirect
51
ICMP Redirects – Configuration
• !Define the VLAN access-map!
– Best practice Sequencing is to initially use increments of 10
to allow for future adjustments; lower sequence numbers
are evaluated first.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Switch(config)# vlan access-map <VAM_NAME> <SEQ_#>
Switch(config-access-map)# match ip address <ACL_NAME>
Switch(config-access-map)# action drop
Switch(config-access-map)# vlan access-map <VAM_NAME> <SEQ_#>
Switch(config-access-map)# action forward
Switch(config-access-map)# exit
52
ICMP Redirects – Configuration
• !Apply VACL filter to the VLAN(s)!
–Switch(config)# vlan filter

Thou Shall Not Port Steal!
I promise to
bring it
right back!
54
Port Stealing - Function
Port Stealing is not the best term to
describe this particular MitM. This
method of Ettercap abuses how
switches build their Layer2
forwarding table. When data is sent
from a host, it is tagged with
Destination and Sender addresses.
55
Port Stealing - Function
Switches will note the Sender
Layer2 address and associate it
will the port it was recieved on.
In this way, the switch maps
Layer2 to Layer1 addresses so it
can forward data as quickly as
possible.

Port Stealing - Countermeasures
With modern day fast & gigabit Ethernet
standards, and improved switching hardware,
this particular MitM is the least effective of
Ettercap's arsenal, and it also the easiest to
defend against. Using Cisco port-security,
forged Layer 2 sender data can trigger a
number of responses, including up to
completely disabling an interface. The
parameters for Cisco port-security will vary
depending on network requirements.
62
Port Stealing - Configuration
• Select the range of host ports
– Switch(config)# int range fa0/2-24
– Switch(config-if)# switchport host
‘switchport host’ is an IOS macro that will place
the interface in access mode, enable Spanning-tree
poftfast, and disable etherchannel. To use Cisco
port-security though, you only need the 'switchport
mode access‘ command.
63
Port Stealing - Configuration
• Enable Cisco Port-Security
– Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security
• Define Maximum # of MAC Addresses
permitted on the interface
– Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum <#>
• Two is recommended for networks w/ VOIP phones
64
Port Stealing - Configuration
• Define port-security response
– All will drop offending frames. Protect does not
generate a log message. Restrict generates a log
message. Shutdown generates a log message and
disables the interface!
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security violation Restrict
65
Port Stealing - Configuration
• Define host MAC address or allow
dynamic learning with 'sticky‘
– Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security macaddress [<H.H.H>|sticky]
66
Conclusion
Y’all play
nice now.
67
Conclusion
While Ettercap is not the only program to perform
DHCP Spoofing, ARP Poisoning, ICMP Redirect, &
Port Stealing MitMs, it is one of the most popular.
Keeping vigilant and understanding threats facing
networks are fundamental for network security
officers. Understanding the functions of Ettercap
and similar tools can give administrators new
insight to reassessing security measures.
