Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems
Objectives and Deliverable • Understand the concept of IDS/IPS and the two major categorizations: by features/models, and by location. Understand the pros and cons of each approach • Be able to write a snort rule when given the signature and other configuration info • Understand the difference between exploits and vulnerabilities
Definitions • Intrusion • A set of actions aimed to compromise the security goals, namely • Integrity, confidentiality, or availability, of a computing and networking resource • Intrusion detection • The process of identifying and responding to intrusion activities • Intrusion prevention • Extension of ID with exercises of access control to protect computers from exploitation • Online IDS + Access control
Elements of Intrusion Detection • Primary assumptions: • System activities are observable • Normal and intrusive activities have distinct evidence • Components of intrusion detection systems: • From an algorithmic perspective: • Features - capture intrusion evidences • Models - piece evidences together • From a system architecture perspective: • Various components: audit data processor, knowledge base, decision engine, alarm generation and responses
Audit Records Audit Data Preprocessor Activity Data Detection Models Detection Engine Alarms Action/Report Decision Engine Decision Table Components of Intrusion Detection System system activities are observable normal and intrusive activities have distinct evidence
Intrusion Detection Approaches • Modeling • Features: evidences extracted from audit data • Analysis approach: piecing the evidences together • Misuse detection (a.k.a. signature-based) • Anomaly detection (a.k.a. statistical-based) • Deployment: Network-based or Host-based • Network based: monitor network traffic • Host based: monitor computer processes
pattern matching Intrusion Patterns: Sequences of system calls, patterns of network traffic, etc. intrusion activities MisuseDetection Example: if (traffic contains “x90+de[^\r\n]”) then “attack detected” Advantage: Mostly accurate. But problems? Can’t detect new attacks
Vulnerability: design flaws enable the bad inputs lead the program to a bad state Good state Bad input (exploit) Bad state Vulnerability Signature Vulnerability vs. Exploit Blaster Worm (WINRPC) Example: BIND: rpc_vers==5 && rpc_vers_minor==1 && packed_drep==\x10\x00\x00\x00 && context[0].abstract_syntax.uuid=UUID_RemoteActivation BIND-ACK: rpc_vers==5 && rpc_vers_minor==1 CALL: rpc_vers==5 && rpc_vers_minors==1 && packed_drep==\x10\x00\x00\x00 && opnum==0x00 && stub.RemoteActivationBody.actual_length>=40 && matchRE(stub.buffer, /^\x5c\x00\x5c\x00/) Pros • Describe semantic context • Very expressive, can express the vulnerability condition exactly • Accurate Cons • Slow! • Existing approaches all use sequential matching • Require protocol parsing
Anomaly Detection probable intrusion activity measures Define a profile describing “normal” behavior, then detects deviations. Thus can detect potential new attacks. Any problem ? Relatively high false positive rates • Anomalies can just be new normal activities. • Anomalies caused by other element faults • E.g., router failure or misconfiguration, P2P misconfig • Which method will detect DDoS SYN flooding ?
Host-Based IDSs • Use OS auditing and monitoring/analysis mechanisms to find malware • Can execute full static and dynamic analysis of a program • Monitor shell commands and system calls executed by user applications and system programs • Has the most comprehensive program info for detection, thus accurate • Problems: • User dependent: install/update IDS on all user machines! • If attacker takes over machine, can tamper with IDS binaries and modify audit logs • Only local view of the attack
The Spread of Sapphire/Slammer Worms
Network Based IDSs • At the early stage of the worm, only limited worm samples. • Host based sensors can only cover limited IP space, which has scalability issues. Thus they might not be able to detect the worm in its early stage. Internet Gateway routers Our network Host based detection
Network IDSs • Deploying sensors at strategic locations • For example, Packet sniffing via tcpdump at routers • Inspecting network traffic • Watch for violations of protocols and unusual connection patterns • Look into the packet payload for malicious code • Limitations • Cannot execute the payload or do any code analysis ! • Even DPI gives limited application-level semantic information • Record and process huge amount of traffic • May be easily defeated by encryption, but can be mitigated with encryption only at the gateway/proxy
Host-based vs. Network-based IDS • Give an attack that can only be detected by host-based IDS but not network-based IDS • Can you give an example only be detected by network-based IDS but not host-based IDS ?
Key Metrics of IDS/IPS • Algorithm • Alarm: A; Intrusion: I • Detection (true alarm) rate: P(A|I) • False negative rate P(¬A|I) • False alarm (aka, false positive) rate: P(A|¬I) • True negative rate P(¬A|¬I) • Architecture • Throughput of NIDS, targeting 10s of Gbps • E.g., 32 nsec for 40 byte TCP SYN packet • Resilient to attacks
Architecture of Network IDS Signature matching (& protocol parsing when needed) Protocol identification TCP reassembly Packet capture libpcap Packet stream
Firewall/Net IPS VS Net IDS • Firewall/IPS • Active filtering • Fail-close • Network IDS • Passive monitoring • Fail-open IDS FW
Comparison between Packet Filter and IPS
Gartner Magic Quadrant for IPS Ability to Execute • Product/Service • Overall Viability (Business Unit, Financial, Strategy, Organization) • Sales Execution/Pricing • Market Responsiveness and Track Record • Marketing Execution • Customer Experience • Operations Completeness of Vision • Market Understanding • Marketing Strategy • Sales Strategy • Offering (Product) Strategy • Business Model • Vertical/Industry Strategy • Innovation • Geographic Strategy
Gartner Magic Quadrant for IPSTwo and Half Years Ago
Case Study: Snort IDS(not required for hw/exam except its signatures)
Conclusions • Understand the concept of IDS/IPS and the two major categorizations: by features/models, and by location. Understand the pros and cons of each approach • Be able to write a snort rule when given the signature and other configuration info • Understand the difference between exploits and vulnerabilities
Backup Slides
Problems with Current IDSs • Inaccuracy for exploit based signatures • Cannot recognize unknown anomalies/intrusions • Cannot provide quality info for forensics or situational-aware analysis • Hard to differentiate malicious events with unintentional anomalies • Anomalies can be caused by network element faults, e.g., router misconfiguration, link failures, etc., or application (such as P2P) misconfiguration • Cannot tell the situational-aware info: attack scope/target/strategy, attacker (botnet) size, etc.
Limitations of Exploit Based Signature 1010101 10111101 11111100 00010111 Signature: 10.*01 Traffic Filtering Internet Our network X X Polymorphism! Polymorphic worm might not have exact exploit based signature
Vulnerability Signature Work for polymorphic worms Work for all the worms which target the same vulnerability Vulnerability signature trafficfiltering Internet X X Our network X X Vulnerability
Example of Vulnerability Signatures • At least 75% vulnerabilities are due to buffer overflow Sample vulnerability signature • Field length corresponding to vulnerable buffer > certain threshold • Intrinsic to buffer overflow vulnerability and hard to evade Overflow! Protocol message Vulnerable buffer
Next Generation IDSs • Vulnerability-based • Adaptive - Automatically detect & generate signatures for zero-day attacks • Scenario-based for forensics and being situational-aware • Correlate (multiple sources of) audit data and attack information
Related Tools for Network IDS (I) • While not an element of Snort, wireshark (used to called Ethereal) is the best open source GUI-based packet viewer • www.wireshark.org offers: • Support for various OS: windows, Mac OS. • Included in standard packages of many different versions of Linux and UNIX • For both wired and wireless networks
