Net. Shield: Massive Semantics-Based Vulnerability Signature Matching for High-Speed Networks Zhichun Li, Gao Xia, Hongyu Gao, Yi Tang, Yan Chen, Bin Liu, Junchen Jiang, and Yuezhou Lv NEC Laboratories America, Inc. Northwestern University Tsinghua University 1
p. To keep network safe is a grand challenge p. Worms and Botnets are still popular p e. g. Conficker worm outbreak in 2008 and infected 9~15 million hosts. 2
NIDS/NIPS Overview NIDS/NIPS (Network Intrusion Detection/Prevention System) Signature DB Packets NIDS/NIPS Security • Accuracy alerts • Speed 3
State Of The Art Regular expression (regex) based approaches Used by: Cisco IPS, Juniper IPS, open source Bro Example: . *Abc. *x 90+de[^rn]{30} Pros Cons • Can efficiently match multiple sigs simultaneously, through DFA • Can describe the syntactic context • Limited expressive power • Cannot describe the semantic context • Inaccurate 4
State Of The Art Vulnerability Signature [Wang et al. 04] Blaster Worm (WINRPC) Example: Vulnerability: design flaws enable the bad BIND: inputs lead the program to a bad state rpc_vers==5 && rpc_vers_minor==1 && packed_drep==x 10x 00x 00 Good && context[0]. abstract_syntax. uuid=UUID_Remote. Activation state BIND-ACK: Bad input rpc_vers==5 && rpc_vers_minor==1 CALL: rpc_vers==5 && rpc_vers_minors==1 && packed_drep==x 10x 00x 00 Bad Vulnerability && opnum==0 x 00 && stub. Remote. Activation. Body. actual_length>=40 state Signature && match. RE(stub. buffer, /^x 5 cx 00/) Pros • Directly describe semantic context • Very expressive, can express the vulnerability condition exactly • Accurate Cons • Slow! • Existing approaches all use sequential matching • Require protocol parsing 5
Regex vs. Vulnerabilty Sigs Vulnerability Signature matching Parsing Matching Combining Regex cannot substitute parsing Theoretical prospective Practical prospective Protocol Context Regex grammar Sensitive Free • HTTP chunk encoding • DNS label pointers 6
Regex V. S. Vulnerabilty Sigs Regex + Parsing cannot solve the problem • Regex assumes a single input • Regex cannot help with combining phase Cannot simply extend regex approaches for vulnerability signatures 7

Background • Vulnerability signature basic – Use protocol semantics to express vulnerabilities – Defined on a sequence of PDUs & one predicate for each PDU Blaster Worm (WINRPC) Example: BIND: Example: ver==1 && method==“put” && len(buf)>300 – rpc_vers==5 && rpc_vers_minor==1 && packed_drep==x 10x 00x 00 && context[0]. abstract_syntax. uuid=UUID_Remote. Activation • Data representations BIND-ACK: – The basic data types used in predicates: numbers and rpc_vers==5 && rpc_vers_minor==1 CALL: strings rpc_vers==5 && rpc_vers_minors==1 && packed_drep==x 10x 00x 00 – number operators: ==, >, <, >=, <= && opnum==0 x 00 && stub. Remote. Activation. Body. actual_length>=40 && – String operators: ==, match_re(. , . ), len(. ). match. RE(stub. buffer, /^x 5 cx 00/) 11
Matching Problem Formulation • Suppose we have n signatures, defined on k matching dimensions (matchers) – A matcher is a two-tuple (field, operation) or a fourtuple for the associative array elements – Translate the n signatures to a n by k table – This translation unlocks the potential of matching multiple signatures simultaneously Rule 4: URI. Filename=“fp 40 reg. dll” && len(Headers[“host”])>300 Rule. ID Method == Filename == Header == LEN 1 DELETE * * 2 POST Header. php * 3 * awstats. pl * 4 * fp 40 reg. dll name==“host”; len(value)>300 5 * * name==“User-Agent”; len(value)>544 12
Signature Matching • Basic scheme for single PDU case • Refinement – Allow negative conditions – Handle array cases – Handle associative array cases – Handle mutual exclusive cases • Extend to Multiple PDU Matching (MPM) – Allow checkpoints. 13
Difficulty of the Single PDU matching Bad News – A well-known computational geometric problem can be reduced to this problem. – And that problem has bad worst case bound O((log N)K-1) time or O(NK) space (worst case ruleset) Good News – Measurement study on Snort and Cisco ruleset – The real-world rulesets are good: the matchers are selective. – With our design O(K) 14
Matching Algorithms Candidate Selection Algorithm 1. Pre-computation: Decides the rule order and matcher order 2. Runtime: Decomposition. Match each matcher separately and iteratively combine the results efficiently 15
Step 2: Iterative Matching PDU={Method=POST, Filename=fp 40 reg. dll, Header: name=“host”, len(value)=450} S 1={2} Candidates after match Column 1 (method==) S 2=S 1 A 2+B 2 ={2} {}+{4}={4} S 3=S 2 A 3+B 3={4} {4}+{}={4} Don’t care Rule. ID Method == Filename == Header == LEN R 1 R 2 R 3 1 2 DELETE Header. php * * awstats. pl * 4 * fp 40 reg. dll 5 * * 3 POST Si * matcher i+1 * require In Ai+1 name==“host”; len(value)>300 matcher i+1 name==“User-Agent”; len(value)>544 16
Complexity Analysis Three HTTP traces: avg(|Si|)<0. 04 • Merging complexity Two WINRPC – Need k-1 merging iterations traces: avg(|Si|)<1. 5 – For each iteration • Merge complexity O(n) the worst case, since Si can have O(n) candidates in the worst case rulesets • For real-world rulesets, # of candidates is a small constant. Therefore, O(1) – For real-world rulesets: O(k) which is the optimal we can get 17
