Cyber Vanguard Series- Cyber Storm Assault Tactics Outline
CYBER TACTICS PHASE 1 – FOOTPRINTING AND ATTACK VECTOR DETERMINATION
Reconnaissance
- What does your network reveal?
- Are you leaking too much information?
- Using Whois lookups, ARIN, RIPE and APNIC
- Domain Name System harvesting
- Data gathering from job postings, websites, and government databases
- Recon-ng
- Pushpin
- Identifying publicly compromised accounts
- Maltego
- FOCA for metadata analysis
Scanning
- Locating and attacking unsecure wireless LANs
- War dialing with War-VOX for renegade modems and unsecure phones
- Port scanning: Traditional, stealth, and blind scanning
- Active and passive Operating System fingerprinting
- Determining firewall filtering rules
- Vulnerability scanning using Nessus and other tools
- CGI scanning with Nikto
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Evasion
- Foiling IDS at the network level: Fragmentation and other tricks
- Foiling IDS at the application level: Exploiting the rich syntax of computer languages
- Using Fragroute and Web Attack IDS evasion tactics
- Bypassing IDS/IPS with TCP obfuscation techniques
CYBER TACTICS PHASE 2 – PENETRATING THE NETWORK
Network-Level Attacks
- Session hijacking: From Telnet to SSL and SSH
- Monkey-in-the-middle attacks
- Passive sniffing
Gathering and Parsing Packets
- Active sniffing: ARP cache poisoning and DNS injection
- DNS cache poisoning: Redirecting traffic on the Internet
- Using and abusing Netcat, including backdoors and nasty relays
- IP address spoofing variations
Operating System and Application-level Attacks
- Buffer overflows in-depth
- The Metasploit exploitation framework
- Format string attacks
Netcat: The Attacker's Best Friend
- Transferring files, creating backdoors, and shoveling shell
- Netcat relays to obscure the source of an attack
- Replay attacks
CYBER TACTICS PHASE 3 – PENETRATING THE USER
Password Cracking
- Analysis of worm trends
- Password cracking with John the Ripper
- Rainbow Tables
- Password spraying
Web Application Attacks
- Account harvesting
- SQL Injection: Manipulating back-end databases
- Session Cloning: Grabbing other users' web sessions
- Cross-Site Scripting
Denial-of-Service Attacks
- Distributed Denial of Service: Pulsing zombies and reflected attacks
- Local Denial of Service
CYBER TACTICS PHASE 4 – MAINTAIN ACCESS AND EXTRACTION
Maintaining Access
- Backdoors: Using Poison Ivy, VNC, Ghost RAT, and other popular beasts
- Trojan horse backdoors: A nasty combo
- Rootkits: Substituting binary executables with nasty variations
- Kernel-level Rootkits: Attacking the heart of the Operating System (Rooty, Avatar, and
Alureon)
Covering the Tracks
- File and directory camouflage and hiding
- Log file editing on Windows and Unix
- Accounting entry editing: UTMP, WTMP, shell histories, etc.
- Covert channels over HTTP, ICMP, TCP, and other protocols
- Sniffing backdoors and how they can really mess up your investigations unless you are
aware of them
- Steganography: Hiding data in images, music, binaries, or any other file type
- Memory analysis of an attack
Putting It All Together
- Specific scenarios showing how attackers use a variety of tools together
- Analyzing scenarios based on real-world attacks
- Learning from the mistakes of other organizations
- Where to go for the latest attack info and trends
INCIDENT HANDLING AND CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION
Preparation
- Building an incident response kit
- Identifying your core incident response team
- Instrumentation of the site and system
Identification

- Containment and quarantine
- Pull the network cable, switch and site
- Identifying and isolating the trust model
Eradication
- Evaluating whether a backup is compromised
- Total rebuild of the Operating System
- Moving to a new architecture
Recovery
- Who makes the determination to return to production?
- Monitoring to system
- Expect an increase in attacks
Special Actions for Responding to Different Types of Incidents
