Foundations of Network and Computer Security John Black Lecture #33 Nov 30 th 2009 CSCI 6268/TLEN 5550, Fall 2009
The View from Here • Today is Nov 30 th; normal lecture • No Class on Weds – I’m out of town and couldn’t find a replacement • We will have 4 more classes after today – One will be a final review
Project #2 • Postponing due date until Dec 11 th – There won’t be a 4 th project due to various factors • You should have received 2 test messages from me – One with a valid sig, one with an invalid sig – These are from jrblack@cs. colorado. edu in our cert table; do NOT use the CA as the sender
Project #2 cont. • Session key encrypted with aes 128 as usual – Just like project 0 • Signature of first two chunks signed with openssl sha 1 | openssl rsautl -sign -inkey. . /john-keys/john-priv. pem • Remember to remove newlines

Making Things Harder: Salt • In reality, Unix systems always add a twocharacter “salt” before hashing your password – There are 4096 possible salts – One is randomly chosen, appended to your password, then the whole thing is hashed – Password file contains the digest and the salt (in the clear) – This prevents attacking all passwords in /etc/passwd in parallel

Fighting the Salt: 4096 Tables • Crackers build 4096 tables, one for each salt value – Build massive databases, on-line, for each salt • 100’s of GB was a lot of storage a few years ago, but not any longer! • Indexed for fast look-up • Most any common password is found quickly by such a program • Used by miscreants, but also by sysadmins to find weak passwords on their system
Getting the /etc/passwd File • Public file, but only if you have an acct – There have been tricks for remotely fetching the /etc/passwd file using ftp and other vulnerabilities – Often this is all an attacker is after • Very likely to find weak passwords and get on the machine – Of course if you are a local user, no problem – Removing the /etc/passwd from global view creates too many problems
Shadowed Passwords • One common approach is to put just the password digests into /etc/shadow – /etc/passwd still has username, userid, groupid, home dir, shell, etc. , but the digests are missing – /etc/shadow has only the username and digests (and a couple of other things) – /etc/shadow is readable and writeable for root only • Makes it a bit harder to get a hold of • Breaks some software that wants to authenticate users with their passwords – One might argue that non-root software shouldn’t be asking for user passwords anyhow – BSD does things a little differently
Last Example: Ingres Authorization Strings • Ingres, 1990 – 2 nd largest database company behind Oracle • Authorization Strings – Encoded what products and privileges the user had purchased • Easier to maintain this way: ship entire product • Easier to sell upgrades: just change the string • Documentation guys – Needed an example auth string for the manual
Moral • There’s no defending against stupidity • Social engineering is almost always the easiest way to break in – Doesn’t work on savvy types or sys admins, but VERY effective on the common user – I can almost guarantee I could get the password of most CU students easily • “Hi this is Jack Stevens from ITS and we need to change your password for security reasons; can you give me your current password? ”
Social Engineering: Phishing • Sending authentic looking email saying “need you to confirm your Pay. Pal account information” – Email looks authentic – URL is often disguised – Rolling over the link might even pop-up a valid URL in a yellow box! – Clicking takes you to attacker’s site, however • This site wants your login info
Disguising URLs • URI spec – Anything@http: //www. colorado. edu is supposed to send you to www. colorado. edu • Can be used to disguise a URL: – http: //www. ebay. com. SECURITYCHECKw 8 gr. HGAkdj>jd 7788<Account Maintenace-4957725 -s 5982 ut-aw-ebayconfirm-secure 23985225 howf 8 shf. MHHIUBd 889 y. K@www. evil. org • Notice feel-good words • Length of URI exceeds width of browser, so you may not see the end • www. evil. org could be hex encoded for more deception – %77%77%77%2 e%65%76%69%6 c%2 e%63%6 f%6 d = www. evil. com
Disguising URL’s (cont) • This no longer works on IE • Still works on Mozilla • In IE 5. x and older, there was another trick where you could get the toolbar and URL window to show “www. paypal. com” even though you had been sent to a different site – Very scary • Moral: don’t click on email links; type in URL manually
Digression: Character Encodings • Normally web servers don’t allow things like this: – http: //www. cs. colorado. edu/~jrblack/. . /etc/passwd • The “. . ” is filtered out – Character encodings can sometimes bypass the filter • • Unicode is a code for representing various alphabets. = C 0 AE / = C 0 AF = C 1 9 C – In Oct 2000, a hacker revealed that IIS failed to filter these encodings • …/~jrblack/%C 0 AE/%C 0 AE/etc/passwd
Segue to Web Security • The web started out simple, but now is vastly complex – Mostly because of client-side scripting • Javascript, Java applets, Flash, Shockwave, VBScript, and more – And server-side scripting • CGIs (sh, C, perl, python, almost anything), Java servlets, PHP, ASP, JSP – All of these are security-sensitive • Ugh
We Can’t Hope to Survey all Possible Web Security Issues • Too many to count • Goal: look at a few thematic ones • Cataloguing all of them would not be very instructive, most likely
Typical Server-Side Vulnerability • PHP: Personal Home. Page (? !) – An easy-to-use and Perl-like server-side scripting language – A “study in poor security” – Gary Mc. Graw – Variables are dynamically declared, initialized, and global by default; this can be dangerous: • if(isset($page)) { include($page); } • Now we call this script with: – script. php? page=/etc/passwd
Javascript • Javascript (and VBScript) can do bad things – Get your cookies, for one, which may include sensitive information • You don’t want to run scripts unless the site you are visiting is “trustworthy” – Javascript has had a large number of security problems in the past; dubious sites might take advantage of these – If you set your security level high in IE, it turns off Javascript; that should tell you something
Javascript (cont) • Turning it off in your browser is one solution – But often you lose a bunch of functionality • How can an attacker get you to run his malicious Javascript code? – Gets you to visit his website • But you might know better – Old trick: post something to a bulletin board with <script>…</script> in it – When you view his post, you run his script!
Filtering • To prevent this, a correct bulletin board implementation always filters stuff that others have posted • You can post <b>YES!</b> but not <script> evil stuff… </script> • But until recently we didn’t worry about filtering stuff from you to yourself!
XSS Attacks • XSS: Cross Server Scripting – Not CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) – Idea: you open a website, passing a value, and the site echoes back that value • What if that value has a script embedded? ! – Example: 404 Not Found • Suppose you see a link (in email, on IRC, on the web) saying, “Click here to search Google” – The link really does go to google, so what the heck… – However the link is www. google. com/badurl%0 a%5 C. . . » Above contains an embedded, hidden script – Google says, “badurl%0 a%5 C…” not found – Just displaying this to you, executes the script
XSS Vulnerabilities • They’ve been found all over the web – Fairly new problem – Lots of examples still exist in the wild – Very tricky to find them all • Solution is to filter, of course – Need to filter inputs from users that server will be echoing back to the user

Defenses Against Phishing • Spoofguard – Product out of Stanford – Doesn’t work for me (ugh!) – Detects various suspicious behaviors and flags them • Red light, green light depending on threshold • There are others as well • Bottom line: – Don’t believe emails from “legitimate companies” – This is frustrating for companies!
Wireless Security • Why is wireless security essentially different from wired security? – Almost impossible to achieve physical security on the network – You can no longer assume that restricting access to a building restricts access to a network • The “parking lot attack”
Wireless Security Challenges • Further challenges: – Many wireless devices are resourceconstrained • Laptops are pretty powerful these days but PDAs are not • Sensors are even more constrained • RFIDs are ridiculously constrained – Paradox: the more resource-constrained we get, the more ambitious our security goals tend to get
IEEE 802. 11 a/b/g • A standard ratified by IEEE and the most widely-used in the world – Ok, PCS might be a close contender – Also called “Wi-Fi” • 802. 11 products certified by WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance) – Bluetooth is fairly commonplace but not really used for LANs • More for PANs (the size of a cubicle) • Connect PDA to Cell Phone to MP 3, etc.
Wireless Network Architecture • Ad Hoc – Several computers form a LAN • Infrastructure – An access point (AP) acts as a gateway for wireless clients – This is the model we’re most used to – Available all through the EC, for example
My Access Point
War Driving • The inherent physical insecurity of wireless networks has led to the “sport” of wardriving – Get in your car, drive around, look for open access points with you laptop – Name comes from the movie “War Games” – Some people get obsessed with this stuff – You can buy “war driving kits” on line • Special antennas, GPS units to hook to you laptop, mapping software
More War Driving • People use special antennas on their cars – It used to be Pringles cans, but we’ve moved up in the world • People distribute AP maps • War driving contest at Black. Hat each year
Next Time You’re in LA
What’s the Big Deal? • My home access point is wide-open – – People could steal bandwidth I’m not that worried about it People could see what I’m doing I’m not that worried about it • There are ways to lock-down your access point – MAC filtering – Non-signalling APs and non-default SSIDs – Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
MAC Filtering • Allow only certain MACs to associate – Idea: you must get permission before joining the LAN – Pain: doesn’t scale well, but for home users not a big deal – Drawback: people can sniff traffic, figure out what MACs are being used on your AP, then spoof their MAC address to get on
Non-Signalling APs • 802. 11 APs typically send a “beacon” advertising their existence (and some other stuff) – Without this, you don’t know they’re there – Can be turned off – If SSID is default, war drivers might find you anyway • SSID is the “name” of the LAN • Defaults are “Link. SYS”, NETGEAR, D-Link, etc • Savvy people change the SSID and turn off beacons – SSID’s can still be sniffed when the LAN is active however, so once again doesn’t help much
Let’s Use Crypto! • WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) – A modern study in how not to do things – The good news: it provides a wonderful pedagogical example for us • A familiar theme: – WEP was designed by non-cryptographers who knew the basics only • That’s enough to blow it
WEP Protocol • One shared key k, per LAN – All clients and APs have a copy of k – We are therefore in the symmetric key setting • Very convenient: no public key complexities needed • Has drawbacks, as we’ll see later – In the symmetric key model, what do we do (minimally) for data security? • Authentication and Privacy! • (MAC and encrypt)
WEP Protocol • For message M, P = (M, c(M)) – c() is an unkeyed CRC (cyclic redundancy check) • Compute C = P © RC 4(v, k) – RC 4 is a stream cipher • Think of a stream cipher as a “randomness stretcher”: give it n random bits and it produces (essentially) infinite pseudo-random bits • The input is variously called the “seed” or the “key” • Seems a lot like a pseudo-random number generator! • We will look at RC 4 in more detail later – v is an IV • As usual, the IV should never be repeated over the life of the key • Sender transmits (v, C)
WEP Decryption • Receiver obtains (v’, C’) and knows k – Computes C’ © RC 4(v’, k) = (P’ © RC 4(v’, k)) © RC 4(v’, k) = P’ – Then checks integrity with P’ = (M’, c’) and asking whether c’ = c(M’) • If not, reject the frame as inauthentic – Looks familiar, but we should be suspicious: a keyless function is not a MAC!
Goals • Security Goals of WEP: – Privacy – Integrity • What we also have called “authenticity” • It should be “hard” to tamper with ciphertexts without being detected • It should be “hard” to forge packets – Access Control • Discard all packets not properly encrypted with WEP (optional part of the 802. 11 standard) • WEP Document: – Security “relies on the difficult of discovering the secret key through a brute-force attack”
WEP Keys • 802. 11 was drafted when 40 bits were all we could export – This restriction was lifted in 1998, but the standard was already in draft form – Some manufacturers extended the key to an optional 128 -bit form • This is misleading: the 128 form uses a 104 bit key because the IV is 24 bits
WEP Keys • Two forms: the 40 bit key IV 24 bits k 40 bits • The “ 128” bit key IV 24 bits k 104 bits Recall: IV is public, so shouldn’t count as “key”
Entering WEP Keys Note: Four keys allowed to encourage key-rotation, but this has to all be synchronized among all users of the WLAN.
Goals Achieved: ; • Let’s start with the Privacy goal – WEP is using an encryption pad; what is the cardinal rule of encryption pads? – So how might a pad be re-used? • If the IV repeats, the pad will repeat: – Pad is RC 4(v, k) – k is fixed for all communications • Since IV is public, an attack sees when the IV repeats
IV repeats • It’s bad: – Some cards fix IV=0, end of story • (This is 802. 11 compliant, by the way!) – Some cards re-initialize IV to 0 each time they are powered up • So each time you insert a PCMCIA card into your laptop, or power up your laptop • IV repeats in the lower range far more likely here – The IV is only 24 bits, so eventually it will wrap around • 1500 -byte packets, 5 Mbps, IV wraps in less than 12 hours • With random IVs, the birthday effect says we expect a repeat within 5000 packets (a few mins in the scenario above)
What to do with repeated IVs? • Build a “decryption dictionary” – Once we figure out the plaintext • Because it’s broadcast in the clear and encrypted • Because it’s part of a standard transmission • Because you injected the message from the outside – …then we know the keystream – Put keystream and IV into a table for later use • Allows quick decryption of any ciphertext where we know the keystream of its IV • About 24 GB to store 1500 bytes for each of the possible 224 IVs • Note: it would probably be easier to brute-force the 40 -bit key – But this approach works against the 104 -bit key as well
Authentication • Recall c() was a CRC – CRC’s are polynomials over a Galois Field of characteristic 2; therefore they are linear over addition, which in this field is © – Hunh? – Function c has the following property: • c(x © y) = c(x) © c(y) – This property lets us modify any ciphertext such that the WEP integrity check will still pass • C = RC 4(v, k) © (M, c(M)) • We want to change M to M’
Altering WEP Ciphertext • Suppose we want M’ = M © instead of M – Compute C’ = C © ( , c( )) – Let’s check: • C’ = C © ( , c( )) = RC 4(v, k) © (M, c(M)) © ( , c( )) = RC 4(v, k) © (M © , c(M) © c( )) = RC 4(v, k) © (M’, c(M © )) = RC 4(v, k) © (M’, c(M’)) – Note: we don’t need to know what M is to do this; we can blindly modify M as we desire
Defeating the WEP Access Mechanism • Recall that mal-formed WEP packets are discarded (optional feature) – If we know one plaintext and its corresponding ciphertext, we are able to inject arbitrary traffic into the network – Suppose we know M, v, and C = RC 4(v, k) © (M, c(M)) • Then we know c(M) // c() is public and unkeyed • So we know RC 4(v, k) • Now we can produce C’ = RC 4(v, k) © (M’, c(M’)) – Note: we are re-using an IV, but that’s ok according to the WEP specification
Summary: WEP is no good • A tenet of security protocol design: “don’t do it” • And after all this, I actually recommend running WEP – It does create a barrier to the casual hacker – It doesn’t add much of a performance hit – It does give you legal recourse
