Footprinting

Footprinting
 Footprinting is the ability to obtain essential information about an
organization. Commonly called network reconnaissance.
 Result Gather information includes:
–The technologies that are being used such as, Internet, Intranet, Remote Access and the
Extranet.
–To explored the security policies and procedures
–take an unknown quality and reduce it
–Take a specific range of domain names, network blocks and individual IP addresses of a
system that is directly connected to the Internet
 This is done by employing various computer security techniques, as:
• DNS queries  nslookup, dig, Zone Transfer
• Network enumeration
• Network queries
• Operating system identification
• Organizational queries
 When used in the computer security lexicon, "footprinting" generally refers to
one of the pre-attack phases; tasks performed prior to doing the actual
attack. Some of the tools used for footprinting areSam
Spade, nslookup, traceroute, Nmap and neotrace.
• Ping sweeps
• Point of contact queries
• Port Scanning
• Registrar queries (WHOIS queries)
• SNMP queries
• World Wide Web spidering

Scanning

27. 27
Introduction
 Scanning can be compared to a thief checking all the doors and
windows of a house he wants to break into.
 Scanning- The art of detecting which systems are alive and
reachable via the internet and what services they offer, using
techniques such as ping sweeps, port scans and operating
system identification, is called scanning.
The kind of information collected here has to do with the
following:
1) TCP/UDP services running on each system identified.
2) System architecture (Sparc, Alpha, x86)
3) Specific IP address of systems reachable via the internet.
4) Operating System type.

28. 28
Ping Sweeps
ping sweep is a method that can establish a range of IP
addresses which map to live hosts.
 ICMP Sweeps (ICMP ECHO requests)
 Broadcast ICMP
 Non Echo ICMP
 TCP Sweeps
 UDP Sweeps

29. 29
PING SWEEPS
ICMP SWEEPS
ICMP ECHO request
ICMP ECHO reply
Target alive
Intruder
Querying multiple hosts – Ping sweep is fairly slow
Examples UNIX – fping and gping
WINDOWS - Pinger

30. 30
Broadcast ICMP
Intruder Network
ICMP ECHO request
ICMP ECHO reply
ICMP ECHO reply
ICMP ECHO reply
Can Distinguish between UNIX and WINDOWS machine
UNIX machine answers to requests directed to the network
address.
WINDOWS machine will ignore it.

31. 31
PING SWEEPS
NON – ECHO ICMP
Example ICMP Type 13 – (Time Stamp)
 Originate Time Stamp
- The time the sender last touched the message before sending
 Receive Time Stamp
- The echoer first touched it on receipt.
 Transmit Time Stamp
- The echoer last touched on sending it.

32. 32
PING Sweeps
TCP Sweeps
Server
Client
C(SYN:PortNo & ISN)
S (SYN & ISN) + ACK[ C (SYN+!) ]
RESET (not active)
S(ISN+1)
When will a RESET be sent?
When RFC does not appear correct while appearing.
RFC = (Destination (IP + port number) & Source( IP & port
number))

33. 33
PING Sweeps
Depends on ICMP PORT UNREACHABLE message.
UDP data gram
ICMP PORT UNREACHABLE
Unreliable because
• Routers can drop UDP packets
•UDP services may not respond when correctly probed
•Firewalls are configured to drop UDP
•Relies on fact that non-active UDP port will respond
Target System

34. 34
PORT SCANNING
Types:
 TCP Connect() Scan
 TCP SYN Scan( Half open scanning)
 Stealth Scan
 Explicit Stealth Mapping Techniques
SYN/ACL , FIN, XMAS and NULL
 Inverse Mapping
Reset Scans, Domain Query Answers
 Proxy Scanning / FTP Bounce Scanning
 TCP Reverse Ident Scanning

35. 35
Port Scanning Types
 TCP Connect() Scan
SYN packet
SYN/ACK listening
RST/ACK (port not listening)
SYN/ACK
A connection is terminated after the full length connection establishment
process has been completed

36. 36
Port Scanning Type
 TCP SYN Scan (half open scanning)
SYN packet
SYN/ACK listening
RST/ACK (port not listening)
We immediately tear down the connection by sending a RESET

37. 37
Port Scanning Type
Stealth Scan
A scanning technique family doing the following
 Pass through filtering rules.
 Not to be logged by the targeted system logging mechanism
 Try to hide themselves at the usual site / network traffic.
The frequently used stealth mapping techniques are.
 SYN/ACK scan
 FIN scans
 XMAS scans
 NULL scans

38. 38
PORT Scanning
Techniques:
 Random Port scan
 Slow Scan
 Fragmentation Scanning
 Decoy
 Coordinated Scans

39. 39
PORT Scanning
“Random” Port Scan
Randomizing the sequence of ports probed may prevent detection.
Slow Scan
Some hackers are very patient and can use network scanners that spread out the
scan over a long period of time. The scan rate can be, for example, as low as 2
packets per day per target site.
Fragmentation scanning
In case of TCP the 8 octets of data (minimum fragment size) are enough to
contain the source and destination port numbers. This will force the TCP flags
field into the second fragment.
Decoy
Some network scanners include options for Decoys or spoofed address in their
attacks.
Coordinated Scans
If multiple IPs probe a target network, each one probes a certain service on a
certain machine in a different time period, and therefore it would be nearly
impossible to detect these scans.

40. 40
Operating System Detection
 Banner Grabbing
 DNS HINFO Record
 TCP/IP Stack Fingerprinting

41. 41
Operating System Detection

42. 42
Operating System Detection
 DNS HINFO Record
The host information record is a pair of strings identifying
the host’s hardware type and the operating system
www IN HINFO “Sparc Ultra 5” “Solaris 2.6”
One of the oldest technique

43. 43
Operating System Detection
 TCP/IP Finger Printing
The ideas to send specific TCP packets to the target IP
and observe the response which will be unique to
certain group or individual operations.
Types of probes used to determine the OS type
The FIN Probe, The Bogus Flag Probe, TCP initial
sequence number sampling, Don’t Fragment bit, TCP
initial window, ACK value, ICMP error Message
Quenching, ICMP message quoting, ICMP error
message Echoing Integrity, Type of service,
fragmentation handling, TCP options

44. 44
Firewalking
 Gather information about a remote network protected
by a firewall
 Purpose
Mapping open ports on a firewall
Mapping a network behind a firewall
If the firewall’s policy is to drop ICMP ECHO Request/Reply
this technique is very effective.

45. 45
How does Firewalking work?
 It uses a traceroute-like packet filtering to
determine whether or not a particular packet
can pass through a packet-filtering device.
 Traceroute is dependent on IP layer(TTL field),
any transport protocol can be used the same
way(TCP, UDP, and ICMP).

46. 46
What Firewalking needs?
 The IP address of the last known gateway
before the firewall takes place.
Serves as WAYPOINT
 The IP address of a host located behind the
firewall.
Used as a destination to direct packet flow

47. 47
Getting the Waypoint
 If we try to traceroute the machine behind a
firewall and get blocked by an ACL filter that
prohibits the probe, the last gateway which
responded(the firewall itself can be determined)
 Firewall becomes the waypoint.

48. 48
Getting the Destination
 Traceroute the same machine with a different
traceroute-probe using a different transport protocol.
 If we get a response
That particular traffic is allowed by the firewall
We know a host behind the firewall.
 If we are continuously blocked, then this kind of traffic
is blocked.
 Sending packets to every host behind the packet-
filtering device can generate an accurate map of a
network’s topology.

49. 49
How to identify/avoid threats?
 Long-standing rule for Unix System
administrators to turn off any services that
aren’t in use
 For personal workstations!
Hackers have access to utilities to scan the servers
but so do you!.
Hackers look in for open ports. So we can our
servers first and know what the hackers will see and
close any ports that shouldn’t be open.

50. 50
Some tools to help us
 Nmap
It is a utility that scans a particular server and informs
us which ports are open.
 Ethereal
It is a utility that will scan the network and help us
decode what is going on.
We can watch the network traffice and find out if
hackers can see anything that will help them break
into our systems.

Introduction to Enumeration
 Enumeration extracts information about:
–Resources or shares on the network
–User names or groups assigned on the network
–Last time user logged on
–User’s password
 Before enumeration, you use Port scanning and
footprinting
–To Determine OS being used
 Intrusive process

–is the Windows networking protocol
–used for shared folders and printers
 NBTscan
–Tool for enumerating Microsoft OSs

54. 54

Null Session Information
 Using these NULL connections allows you to gather the
following information from the host:
–List of users and groups
–List of machines
–List of shares
–Users and host SIDs (Security Identifiers)
•From brown.edu (link Ch 6b)
