When used as part of scanning a system, the TCP header of a Christmas tree packet has the flags FIN, URG and PSH set. [1] Many operating systems implement their compliance with the Internet Protocol standards [2] [3] in varying or incomplete ways. By observing how a host responds to an odd packet, such as a Christmas tree packet, inferences can ...
The attacker can then perform the actual attack using the alert noise as cover. The tools 'stick' and 'snot' were designed for this purpose. They generate a large number of IDS alerts by sending attack signature across the network, but will not trigger alerts in IDS that maintain application protocol context.
Nmap – comprehensive active stack fingerprinting. p0f – comprehensive passive TCP/IP stack fingerprinting. NetSleuth – free passive fingerprinting and analysis tool; PacketFence [9] – open source NAC with passive DHCP fingerprinting. Satori – passive CDP, DHCP, ICMP, HPSP, HTTP, TCP/IP and other stack fingerprinting.
nmap -v -O -sS 192.168.1.0/24. This tells nmap to do a ping sweep and show all hosts that are up in the given IP range. Once you have found a zombie, next you would send the spoofed packets: nmap -P0 -p <port> -sI <zombie IP> <target IP> The images juxtaposition show both of these stages in a successful scenario.
This will remove the malware, but also restores the router to all original settings. If the router has remote management enabled, a factory reset will often disable this (the default setting of many routers). Remote management is thought to be one possible vector for the initial attack.
A TCP reset attack, also known as a forged TCP reset or spoofed TCP reset, is a way to terminate a TCP connection by sending a forged TCP reset packet. This tampering technique can be used by a firewall or abused by a malicious attacker to interrupt Internet connections.
DNS hijacking, DNS poisoning, or DNS redirection is the practice of subverting the resolution of Domain Name System (DNS) queries. [1] This can be achieved by malware that overrides a computer's TCP/IP configuration to point at a rogue DNS server under the control of an attacker, or through modifying the behaviour of a trusted DNS server so that it does not comply with internet standards.
A server implements an HSTS policy by supplying a header over an HTTPS connection (HSTS headers over HTTP are ignored). [1] For example, a server could send a header such that future requests to the domain for the next year (max-age is specified in seconds; 31,536,000 is equal to one non-leap year) use only HTTPS: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000.
