Implementing Network Security

  • Configure Network Security Technologies
  • Secure Network Design Elements
  • Implement Secure Networking Protocols and Services
  • Secure Wireless Traffic

Network Components

Component Description
Device Any piece of hardware such as a computer, server, printer, or smartphone.
Media Connects devices to the network and carries data between devices.
Network adapter Hardware that translates data between the network and a device.
Network operating system Software that controls network traffic and access to network resources.
Protocol Software that controls network communications using a set of rules.

Network Devices

  • Router
  • Switch
  • Proxy
  • Firewall
  • Load Balancer

Routers

A Routers is a device that connects multiple networks and network devices, that use the same protocol.

  • Can determine most efficient path for network traffic to take.
  • Most routers will not forward broadcast traffic.

An Access Control List (ACL) is a list of rules for blocking or allowing traffic.

  • Router can filter network traffic through ACLs and block unwanted traffic.
  • Example: Filter out inbound traffic from external router using private IP range.

Switches

A Switch is a device with multiple network ports that combines multiple physical network segments into a single logical network.

  • Creates dedicated connections involving only two hosts in a transmission.
  • Sends individual packets to specific destination host based on their physical addresses.
  • Some switches can perform routing functions.

Security protections provided by switches:

  • Can limit access to specific ports based on MAC address.
  • Can implement flood guards to protect against DoS attacks.
  • Can implement loop prevention to shut down network loops.

Proxies

Proxies act on behalf of one end of a network connection when communicating with the other end of the connection.

  • Used as a way to filter content.
  • Forward proxies intercept client traffic before it leaves the internal network.
  • Proxies can modify traffic or just forward it. Reverse proxies intercept traffic coming from an external network.
  • Intended to protect destination servers from compromise.
  • Some proxies are multi-purpose and have application-level awareness.

Firewalls

Hardware-based Firewalls are devices that protects a system or network by blocking unwanted traffic.

Software-based Firewalls are programs that protect a system or network by blocking unwanted traffic.

Implicit deny is a firewall mode in which all traffic one way is blocked unless explicitly allowed.

  • Predefined rule sets determine what traffic to block.
  • Connection information can be saved to a log for monitoring purposes.

Types of firewalls:

  • Host-based
  • Network-based
  • Web application

Load Balancer

A Load Balancer is a device that distributes workload among multiple devices in a network.

  • All devices can perform more efficiently.
  • Individual devices are protected against DDoS.

Scheduling: How the load balancer determines where to route traffic to.

Round robin: A scheduling approach in which the load balancer forwards traffic to each server on a list one-by-one.

Affinity: A scheduling approach in which the load balancer forwards traffic to a server a client is already connected to.

Network Scanners and Analysis Tools

Network Tool Description
Packet analyzer Monitors wireless or wired network communications. Captures traffic data. Can be used to gather information by examining packet contents.
Protocol analyzer Uses data captured by packet analyzer. Identifies protocols and applications used by traffic. Can reveal malicious traffic using specific vectors.
Network enumerator Identifies logical topology of a network to reveal connection pathways. Provides high-level overview of network architecture.

Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

A system that scans, evaluates, and monitors computer infrastructure for signs of an attack in progress.

  • Can also analyze data and alert security admins to issues.

Can include Hardware sensors, Intrusion detection software, Management software.

  • Each implementation is unique and depends on organizations security needs.

Network IDS

A type of IDS that primarily uses passive hardware sensors to monitor traffic on a network segment.

  • Can sniff traffic and send alerts.

Uses:

  • Rogue system detection.
  • Reconnaissance identification.
  • Attack pattern identification.

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)

A system that performs the functions of an IDS but that can also take action to block threats.

  • Configure the threats that should be handled automatically.
  • Passive response still implemented for other incidents.

Useful, but with some pitfalls:

  • False positives may lead to the blocking of legitimate behavior.
  • False negatives may lull you into a false sense of security.
  • A well-managed and finely tuned IPS is still a powerful defense option.

Network IPS (NIPS)

A type of IPS that can detect suspicious traffic on the network and move to block it.

  • Blocking involves dropping unwanted packets or resetting the connection.
  • NIPS can regulate traffic according to specific content.
  • Differs from a stateless firewall, which only blocks based on IP addresses and ports.

Types of Network Monitoring Systems

Monitoring System Description
Signature-based Uses predefined set of rules to identify unacceptable events. Events have specific and known characteristics.
Anomaly-based Uses a definition of expected patterns to events. Identifies events that dont follow these patterns. Requires a pre-configured baseline of acceptable events.
Behavior-based Identifies how an entity acts and reviews future behavior against this. Detects if future behavior deviates from the norm. Records patterns in reaction to entity being monitored.
Heuristic Identifies how an entity acts in a specific environment. May conclude that an entity is a threat to the environment.

Security Information and Event Management

Network-based example:

  • DLP can detect confidential files sent over email and block the transmission.

Host-based example:

  • DLP can block USB port entirely or block certain files from being written to USB drives.
  • Prevents user from copying sensitive data to USB drive and leaving the premises.
  • Can be implemented in software, hardware, or using the cloud.

Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

Network Isolation

Network Isolation/segregation: The practice of keeping networks separate from one another.

Air gap: The isolation practice of physically separating a network from all other networks.

Segmentation/subnetting: Isolating a network by dividing it into multiple subnets.

  • Attackers cannot easily move from segment to segment.
  • Limits the amount and scope of damage attackers can do.
  • Segmentation can be achieved through several means, including physically.

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN)

  • A logical method of segmenting a network at the data link layer (Layer2)
  • Similar to subnets, but subnets are layer3
  • VLANs enable grouping of network hosts not on the same physical switch.
  • Also enable multiple VLANs to exist on the same physical switch.
  • If network configuration changes, the physical cabling and devices dont need to.
  • Made possible through virtualization.
  • VLANs can be configured with one or more subnets.

Network Security Device Placement

Device Recommended Placement
Aggregation switches Combines multiple ports into a single link for redundancy and bandwidth. Typically placed between access switches and core networking segments.
Firewalls Typically placed at network perimeter. In a DMZ, a second firewall may sit between the DMZ and the private network.
Proxies and filters Usually placed close to network perimeter. Firewall products often include proxy and filtering functionality.
Load balancers Placed in DMZ before web servers to handle excess traffic. Can also be placed outside DMZ and before dependent servers.
Taps and Sensors/Monitors Tap copies network traffic to a sensor or monitor (e.g, an IDS). Placing taps at perimeter can be very noisy. More valuable to place them within the private network for traffic monitoring.
Collectors and Correlation Engines Placed outside DMZ and in private network to pull log data from hosts. Not directly exposed to the Internet.
VPN concentrators Often placed behind perimeter firewall in a DMZ. Can also be placed alongside perimeter firewall.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

A service that translates between different IP addressing schemes, such as between public-facing and private IP addresses.

  • Offers simple security by concealing internal addresses from the Internet.
  • Packets sent by router to the Internet appear to come from the public address.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN)

A network design approach that separates network control systems from traffic forwarding systems.

  • Admins can directly program control systems by themselves.
  • They can more easily manage the flow and logistics of the network.
  • SDN also provides greater security insight through a centralized view of the network.

Guidelines for Securing Network Design Elements

  • Consider implementing a NAC solution.
  • Implement a DMZ to separate public-facing resources from internal resources.
  • Make one firewall external-facing and another internal-facing for a DMZ.
  • Design the network with isolation in mind.
  • Air gap networks that shouldnt communicate with the larger network.
  • Create subnets in order to segment hosts with a common purpose.
  • Implement VLANs to streamline the management of network segments.
  • Identify the most effective physical and logical placement of all security devices.
  • Implement NAT to conceal internal IPv4 addresses from external networks.
  • Consider implementing SDN to improve the network management process.

PEAP An open standard developed by Cisco, Microsoft, and RSA. Encapsulates EAP communications over SSL/TLS tunnel. Similar to EAP-TTLS, but supports less authentication protocols.
RADIUS federation RADIUS is a network authentication protocol. Federation implies a shared level of trust among disparate networks. 802.1X is often used with RADIUS for port-based authentication.

VPNs and Open Wireless

  • Open wireless networks are a major risk.
  • Attackers can compromise communications.

If forced to use open wireless, tunnel through with a VPN.

  • Can encrypt data even when using an insecure wireless hotspot.
  • Must use a strong tunneling protocol like IPSec.

Wireless Client Authentication Methods

WPA/2-Personal:

  • Also called WPA/2-PSK.
  • Relies on pre-shared key (PSK) generated from a passphrase.
  • All clients use the same passphrase.
  • Attacker can glean this passphrase and use it to authenticate.

WPA/2-Enterprise:

  • Requires client to authenticate with a RADIUS server (802.1x).
  • Helps mitigate against guess/brute force of PSK.
  • Ideal for larger corporate networks.

WPS:

  • Simplifies client authentication.
  • Client can enter a PIN associated with an access point.
  • Also, can press a button on the access point to connect with client and authenticate.
  • PIN method is vulnerable and should be avoided.

Wireless Access Point Security Methods

Security Method Description
MAC filtering Disabling SSID broadcast Description Blacklisting or whitelisting of devices with certain MAC addresses. Can prevent unwanted devices from authenticating with the network Not a sufficient security method -MAC addresses are easily spoofed.
Disabling SSID Broadcast APs broadcast identifiers for users to recognize a wireless network. Can disable SSID broadcast so user must enter SSID manually. Not a sufficient security method-scanners can reveal networks.
Signal Configuration Adjusting signal strength can contain the range of a network. Prevents war driving attacks by reducing signal range. 2.4 GHz band has larger range. 5 GHz has more bandwidth but smaller range.
Deciding between fat vs. thin APS Thin APs offload some tasks to centralized devices. Thin APs useful for 802.1X authentication to RADIUS server. Fat APs take on most tasks themselves. Fat APs may reduce complexity.

Captive Portals

A technique requiring a client connecting to a wireless network to authenticate through a web page.

  • Clients packets are intercepted until client completes the portals steps.
  • Typically used in public Wi-Fi hotspots to get users to agree to an AUP.
  • Can also authenticate users through login credentials.

Site Surveys

The collection of information on a location for the purpose of constructing something in the best possible way.

  • Wireless network site surveys determine how best to position hardware devices.
  • Ensures networks and users have quality coverage and bandwidth.
  • Also ensures network is conforming to security practices.
  • Use RF signal tools to model proposed wireless environments.

Guidelines for Securing Wireless Traffic
