Packet Analysis - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Lisa Bock - Pennsylvania College of Technology
Most network administrators are well-versed in hardware, applications, operating systems, and network analysis tools. However, many are not trained in analyzing network traffic. Network administrators should be able to identify normal network traffic in order to determine unusual or suspicious activity. Network packet analysis is important in order to troubleshoot congestion issues, create firewall and intrusion detection system rules, and perform incident and threat detection. This hands-on presentation will review fundamental concepts necessary to analyze network traffic, beginning with an overview of network analysis, then a review the TCP/IP protocol suite and LAN operations. Participants will examine packet captures and understand the field values of the protocols and as to what is considered normal behavior, and then examine captures that show exploits, network reconnaissance, and signatures of common network attacks. The program will use Wireshark, a network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows, to study network packets, look at basic features such as display and capture filters, and examine common protocols such as TCP, HTTP, DNS, and FTP. Time permitting, the presentation will provide suggestions on how to troubleshoot performance problems, conduct a network baseline, and how to follow a TCP or UDP stream and see HTTP artifacts. Participants should have a basic knowledge of computer networking and an interest in the subject.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

What is a Firewall?
• A choke point of control and monitoring
• Interconnects networks with differing trust
• Imposes restrictions on network services
– only authorized traffic is allowed
• Auditing and controlling access
– can implement alarms for abnormal behavior
• Itself immune to penetration
• Provides perimeter defence
6. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Classification of Firewall
Characterized by protocol level it controls in
• Packet filtering
• Circuit gateways
• Application gateways
• Combination of above is dynamic packet filter
8. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Firewalls – Packet Filters
• Simplest of components
• Uses transport-layer information only
– IP Source Address, Destination Address
– Protocol/Next Header (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc)
– TCP or UDP source & destination ports
– TCP Flags (SYN, ACK, FIN, RST, PSH, etc)
– ICMP message type
• Examples
– DNS uses port 53
• No incoming port 53 packets except known trusted servers
9. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Usage of Packet Filters
• Filtering with incoming or outgoing interfaces
–E.g., Ingress filtering of spoofed IP addresses
–Egress filtering
• Permits or denies certain services
– Requires intimate knowledge of TCP and UDP port utilization on a number of
operating systems
10. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
How to Configure a Packet Filter
• Start with a security policy
• Specify allowable packets in terms of logical expressions on packet
fields
• Rewrite expressions in syntax supported by your vendor
• General rules - least privilege
– All that is not expressly permitted is prohibited
– If you do not need it, eliminate it
12. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Security & Performance of Packet Filters
• IP address spoofing
– Fake source address to be trusted
– Add filters on router to block
• Tiny fragment attacks
– Split TCP header info over several tiny packets
– Either discard or reassemble before check
• Degradation depends on number of rules applied at any point
• Order rules so that most common traffic is dealt with first
• Correctness is more important than speed
13. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Port Numbering
• TCP connection
– Server port is number less than 1024
– Client port is number between 1024 and 16383
• Permanent assignment
– Ports <1024 assigned permanently
• 20,21 for FTP 23 for Telnet
• 25 for server SMTP 80 for HTTP
• Variable use
– Ports >1024 must be available for client to make any connection
– This presents a limitation for stateless packet filtering
• If client wants to use port 2048, firewall must allow incoming traffic on this port
– Better: Stateful filtering knows outgoing requests
14. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Firewalls – Stateful Packet Filters
• Traditional packet filters do not examine higher layer context
– matching return packets with outgoing flow
• Stateful packet filters address this need
• They examine each IP packet in context
– Keep track of client-server sessions
– Check each packet validly belongs to one
• Hence are better able to detect bogus packets out of context
16. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Firewall Outlines
• Packet filtering
• Application gateways
• Circuit gateways
• Combination of above is dynamic packet filter
17. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Firewall Gateways
• Firewall runs set of proxy programs
– Proxies filter incoming, outgoing packets
– All incoming traffic directed to firewall
– All outgoing traffic appears to come from firewall
• Policy embedded in proxy programs
• Two kinds of proxies
– Application-level gateways/proxies
• Tailored to http, ftp, smtp, etc.
– Circuit-level gateways/proxies
• Working on TCP level
19. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Application-Level Filtering
• Has full access to protocol
– user requests service from proxy
– proxy validates request as legal
– then actions request and returns result to user
• Need separate proxies for each service
– E.g., SMTP (E-Mail)
– NNTP (Net news)
– DNS (Domain Name System)
– NTP (Network Time Protocol)
– custom services generally not supported

Firewall Outlines
• Packet filtering
• Application gateways
• Circuit gateways
• Combination of above is dynamic packet filter
23. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
A typical SOCKS connection through interface A, and rogue
connection through the external interface, B.
24. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Bastion Host
• Highly secure host system
• Potentially exposed to "hostile" elements
• Hence is secured to withstand this
– Disable all non-required services; keep it simple
• Trusted to enforce trusted separation between network connections
• Runs circuit / application level gateways
– Install/modify services you want
• Or provides externally accessible services
27. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Firewall Outlines
• Packet filtering
• Application gateways
• Circuit gateways
• Combination of above is dynamic packet filter
28. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Dynamic Packet Filters
• Most common
• Provide good administrators protection and full transparency
• Network given full control over traffic
• Captures semantics of a connection
29. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Routing Filters
• All nodes are somehow reachable from the Internet
• Routers need to be able to control what routes they advertise over
various interfaces
• Clients who employ IP source routing make it possible to reach
‘unreachable’ hosts
– Enables address-spoofing
– Block source routing at borders, not at backbone
30. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Routing Filters (cont)
• Packet filters obviate the need for route filters
• Route filtering becomes difficult or impossible in the presence of
complex technologies
• Route squatting – using unofficial IP addresses inside firewalls that
belong to someone else
• Difficult to choose non-addressed address space
32. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015

Choose Installation Type
• 64-bit vs 32-bit
– Does pfSense support 64 bit systems
– Is 32-bit or 64-bit pfSense Preferred
• Full vs Embedded vs LiveCD
– Full Install is performed to an SSD or HDD.
– Embedded is used for CF/SD/USB media.
– A third, much less used type, is running the LiveCD without installing to disk.
• LiveCD vs Memstick vs Memstick Serial
– LiveCD (ISO image, CD/DVD disc): Easy and familiar to many.
– Memstick: Like the LiveCD, but run from a USB thumb drive.
– Serial Memstick: Like the Memstick image, but runs using the serial console rather
than VGA.

Choose Installation Type
• NanoBSD vs NanoBSD+VGA
– NanoBSD: Embedded install type using the serial console by default.
– NanoBSD+VGA: Like NanoBSD, but uses the VGA console instead.
• Virtual Machines
Virtual Machines, such as VMware/ESX, should be installed using the ISO image
– Installing_pfSense_in_vmware_under_windows
– pfSense 2 on VMware ESXi 5

Download pfSense
• Visit https://www.pfsense.org/download/mirror.php?section=downloads
• Pick the chosen Computer Architecture, Platform, and Console type
• Download the MD5 checksum and/or SHA256 checksum files to verify
the image later
• Pick a mirror and click the link on its row to download the image from
there
• Wait for the download to complete
• Verify Downloaded Files
48. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Prepare Installation Media
The downloaded image must be written to target media before it can be
used. For a Full Install, this media is used to boot and install and then will
not be needed again, and for LiveCD it will remain connected to the
firewall. For Embedded, the target media is the disk (CF/SD) that will
contain the Operating System.
• Write the ISO (LiveCD): If the LiveCD .iso file was downloaded, it must
be burned to a disc as an ISO image. See Writing ISO Images for
assistance.
• Writing Memstick or NanoBSD images: This task is covered with great
detail in the Writing Disk Images article here on the wiki.
49. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Connect to Serial Console
Before attempting to install or boot, if a serial-based image was used,
such as NanoBSD or Memstick-Serial, connect to the serial console
with a null modem cable and with appropriate terminal options.
See Connecting to the Serial Console for specifics.
50. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Performing a Full Install (LiveCD, Memstick)
• Power on the target system and connect the install media: Place
the CD into the drive or plug the Memstick into a USB port. If the
BIOS is set to boot from CD/USB, pfSense will start.
• For other boot issues, Installation Troubleshooting.
• As the operating system boots and pfSense starts, a prompt is
presented with some choices and a countdown timer. At this
prompt, press i to invoke the installer now.
52. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Performing a Full Install (LiveCD, Memstick)
First, the installer console
can be changed to use a
different font, screen map,
or key map. Most people do
not need to change these,
but it may help with some
international keyboards.
53. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Performing a Full Install (LiveCD,
Memstick)
At the Select Task prompt,
choose Quick/Easy Install.
54. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Performing a Full Install (LiveCD,
Memstick)
The Quick/Easy Install option assumes the
first located disk is the intended target, so
be sure there is only one SSD/HDD is
present in the system.
NOTE: A GEOM mirror (software RAID) may
also be configured by choosing Custom
Install and then invoking the option to
create the mirror and select the disks. Once
that has been completed, then it is
possible to return to the Select Task screen
and proceed with a Quick/Easy Install
Because the next step is destructive to
whatever is currently on the target disk,
confirmation is required to proceed.
Select OK then press Enter.
55. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Performing a Full Install (LiveCD,
Memstick)
The install will proceed, wiping
the target disk and installing
pfSense. Copying files may take
some time to finish.
After the files have been copied
to the target disk, a choice is
presented to select the console
type. Standard defaults to the
VGA
console. Embedded defaults to
serial console.
56. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Performing a Full Install (LiveCD,
Memstick)
Now the system must
reboot so that pfSense may
start from the target disk.
Select Reboot and then
press Enter. Be sure to
remove the disc or USB
Memstick so that the
system will not attempt to
boot from there next time.
57. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Performing a Full Install (LiveCD,
Memstick)
After the system reboots,
pfSense will be running
from the target disk. The
next step is to Assign
Interfaces on the Console
below.
58. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Embedded / NanoBSD
• Before attempting to boot, if ALIX hardware is being used, ensure the
device has the latest BIOS (at least 0.99h) and set CHSmode in the BIOS.
See ALIX BIOS Update Procedure for details.
• Install the target media into the device, and ensure the BIOS is
configured to boot from that disk.
• If everything is configured correctly the kernel will begin to load. For
serial console images, systems with VGA output will stop displaying with
a "/" on the screen or may stop at a "BTX" message. From that point on
all output is sent to COM1. Connect to the serial console to view the
remaining output.
59. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Assign Interfaces on the Console
• The default configuration file on pfSense 2.2 has em0 assigned as WAN,
and em1 assigned as LAN. If the target hardware hasem0 and em1, then
the assignment prompt is skipped and the install will proceed as usual.
• A list of network interfaces and their MAC addresses that were located
on the system will appear, along with an indication of their link state if
that is supported by the network card. The link state is denoted by
"(up)" appearing after the MAC address if a link is detected on that
interface. The MAC (Media Access Control) address of a network card is
a unique identifier assigned to each card, and no two network cards
should have the same MAC address. After that, a prompt will be shown
for VLAN configuration.
60. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Assign Interfaces on the Console
• VLANS
The option to assign VLANs is presented first. If VLANs are not
required, or they are not known, enter No here. VLANs are optional
and are only needed for advanced networking. VLAN-capable
equipment is also required if they are to be used. See VLAN
Trunking for details.
61. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Assign Interfaces on the Console
• LAN, WAN, OPTx
– The first interface prompt is for the WAN interface. If the interface is known, enter its name, such
as igb0 or em0 and press Enter. If the identity of the card is not known, see the next section for
the Auto Assign Procedure.
– The second interface prompt is for the LAN interface. Enter the appropriate interface, such
as igb1 or em1, and press Enter again. If only the WAN interface is to be used, and no LAN,
press Enter without giving any other input.
– Only one interface (WAN) is required to setup pfSense. If more interfaces are available they may be
assigned as LAN and OPTx interfaces. The procedure is the same for additional interfaces: Enter the
appropriate interface name, then press Enter.
– When there are no more interfaces to add, press Enter. The list of assigned interfaces is displayed.
If the mappings are correct, enter y, otherwise enter n and repeat the assignment.
– NOTE: If only one NIC is assigned (WAN), This is called Appliance Mode. In this mode, pfSense will
move the GUI anti-lockout rule to the WAN interface so the firewall may be accessed from there.
The usual routing functions would not be active since there is no "internal" interface. This type of
configuration is useful for VPN appliances, DNS servers, etc.
62. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Assign Interfaces on the Console
• Auto Assign Procedure
For automatic interface assignment, first unplug all network cables from
the system, then type a and press Enter. Now plug a network cable into
the interface that should connect to the WAN, and press Enter. If all went
well, pfSense should know now which interface to use for the WAN. The
same process may be repeated for the LAN, and any optional interfaces
that will be needed. If a message is displayed such as No link-up detected,
see Installation Troubleshooting for more information on sorting out
network card identities.

pfSense Default Configuration
After installation and interface assignment, pfSense has the following default configuration:
• WAN is configured as an IPv4 DHCP client
• WAN is configured as an IPv6 DHCP client and will request a prefix delegation
• LAN is configured with a static IPv4 address of 192.168.1.1/24
• LAN is configured to use a delegated IPv6 address/prefix obtained by WAN (Track IPv6) if one is available
• All incoming connections to WAN are blocked
• All outgoing connections from LAN are allowed
• NAT is performed on IPv4 traffic leaving WAN from the LAN subnet
• The firewall will act as an IPv4 DHCP Server
• The firewall will act as an IPv6 DHCPv6 Server if a prefix delegation was obtained on WAN, and also enables SLAAC
• The DNS Resolver is enabled so the firewall can accept and respond to DNS queries
• SSH is disabled.
• WebGUI is running on port 443 using HTTPS
• Default credentials are set to a username of admin with password pfsense
64. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Post-Install Tasks
After installation and
assignment, a shell menu is
presented on the console
with a number of options.
pfSense now is ready to be
accessed via the network,
either on the LAN interface
(if one is assigned), or on
the WAN interface in a
single interface deployment.
65. sopont@gmail.comCreated by Sopon TumchotaDate : July 2015
Post-Install Tasks
• Connect to the GUI
– The WebGUI is used to configure the vast majority of items in pfSense. It may
be accessed by any modern browser, though Firefox and Chrome are preferred.
– Connect a client PC to the LAN of the firewall and ensure it obtained an IP
address. If it did not, it may be plugged into the wrong port.
– Open a web browser and navigate to https://192.168.1.1/, using the default
username admin and password pfsense to login.
– The first visit to the WebGUI will be redirected to the setup wizard, which is
also accessible at System > Setup Wizard. Proceed through the wizard and
configure things as desired.
