| openwrt: Detecting Malicious Behavior in OpenWrt with QEMU Tracing Jeremy Porter, 2019 In recent years embedded devices have become more ubiquitous than ever before and are expected to continue this trend. Embedded devices typically have a singular or more focused purpose, a smaller footprint, and often interact with the physical world. Some examples include routers, wearable heart rate monitors, and thermometers. These devices are excellent at providing real time data or completing a specific task quickly, but they lack many features that make security issues more obvious. Generally, Embedded devices are not easily secured. Malware or rootkits in the firmware of an embedded system are difficult to detect because embedded devices do not have the usual human interfaces such as a keyboard, video, or a mouse. Traditional rootkits typically come in three variants: binary, library, and kernel. Binary rootkits aim to replace a binary file in the operating system such as ls (list files) or cd (change directory). Library rootkits replace system libraries with malicious code that can intercept system calls and provide incomplete or false information as it is relayed between user and kernel spaces. Kernel rootkits hook directly into the kernel and provide false or incomplete information to system calls. Kernel rootkits are often loadable kernel modules (LKM) that can be installed at run time. Typically, countermeasures and detection methods require specific security hardware tools or scanning the system in a traditional way with some interactive inputs/outputs provided to an end user or security researcher. These methods don't work well with embedded devices that lack additional security hardware and a keyboard, video, or mouse to display or interact. A more tailored and focused approach is required for embedded devices. This thesis takes a step toward building a framework for embedded device security auditing. The first component of this framework is a malicious router, the second component is QEMU used to trace the execution of the malicious router. An example OpenWrt router with malicious behavior is demonstrated. The system consists of a client, a router, and a server. The router contains MITM Proxy software used to monitor and modify HTTP requests. The client uses wget and the server uses uhttpd to simulate an HTTP request/response scenario. The router is able to inject/modify HTTP requests and provide a response different than what the server would provide. The second component, QEMU with tracing is explored and shown to be an effective measure to provide truthful data with respect to the operation of the malicious router. We believe this framework is a flexible paradigm for examining embedded device firmware. QEMU offers multiple tracing methods with more granular data as required. In conclusion, we propose a two part detection method for detecting rootkits in embedded devices. The first part, a suspect system demonstrated by a router that performs HTTP injection and a second part that uses QEMU to trace the execution of the suspect system with some level of trust. We discuss some additional malicious systems that can be used with the Diamorphine rootkit. |
| openwrt: The Car Hacker's Handbook Craig Smith, 2016-03-01 Modern cars are more computerized than ever. Infotainment and navigation systems, Wi-Fi, automatic software updates, and other innovations aim to make driving more convenient. But vehicle technologies haven’t kept pace with today’s more hostile security environment, leaving millions vulnerable to attack. The Car Hacker’s Handbook will give you a deeper understanding of the computer systems and embedded software in modern vehicles. It begins by examining vulnerabilities and providing detailed explanations of communications over the CAN bus and between devices and systems. Then, once you have an understanding of a vehicle’s communication network, you’ll learn how to intercept data and perform specific hacks to track vehicles, unlock doors, glitch engines, flood communication, and more. With a focus on low-cost, open source hacking tools such as Metasploit, Wireshark, Kayak, can-utils, and ChipWhisperer, The Car Hacker’s Handbook will show you how to: –Build an accurate threat model for your vehicle –Reverse engineer the CAN bus to fake engine signals –Exploit vulnerabilities in diagnostic and data-logging systems –Hack the ECU and other firmware and embedded systems –Feed exploits through infotainment and vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems –Override factory settings with performance-tuning techniques –Build physical and virtual test benches to try out exploits safely If you’re curious about automotive security and have the urge to hack a two-ton computer, make The Car Hacker’s Handbook your first stop. |
| openwrt: IPv6 Fundamentals Rick Graziani, 2017-06-06 Organizations are increasingly transitioning to IPv6, the next generation protocol for defining how devices of all kinds communicate over networks. Now fully updated, IPv6 Fundamentals offers a thorough, friendly, and easy-to-understand introduction to the knowledge and skills you need to deploy and operate IPv6 networks. Leading networking instructor Rick Graziani explains all the basics simply and clearly, step-by-step, providing all the details you’ll need to succeed. You’ll learn why IPv6 is necessary, how it was created, how it works, and how it has become the protocol of choice in environments ranging from cloud to mobile and IoT. Graziani thoroughly introduces IPv6 addressing, configuration options, and routing protocols, including EIGRP for IPv6, and OSPFv3 (traditional configuration and with address families). Building on this coverage, he then includes more in-depth information involving these protocols and processes. This edition contains a completely revamped discussion of deploying IPv6 in your network, including IPv6/IPv4 integration, dynamic address allocation, and understanding IPv6 from the perspective of the network and host. You’ll also find improved coverage of key topics such as Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), DHCPv6, and the advantages of the solicited node multicast address. Throughout, Graziani presents command syntax for Cisco IOS, Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, as well as many examples, diagrams, configuration tips, and updated links to white papers and official RFCs for even deeper understanding. Learn how IPv6 supports modern networks encompassing the cloud, mobile, IoT, and gaming devices Compare IPv6 with IPv4 to see what has changed and what hasn’t Understand and represent IPv6 addresses for unicast, multicast, and anycast environments Master all facets of dynamic IPv6 address allocation with SLAAC, stateless DHCPv6, and stateful DHCPv6 Understand all the features of deploying IPv6 addresses in the network including temporary addresses and the privacy extension Improve operations by leveraging major enhancements built into ICMPv6 and ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol Configure IPv6 addressing and Access Control Lists using a common topology Implement routing of IPv6 packets via static routing, EIGRP for IPv6, and OSPFv3 Walk step-by-step through deploying IPv6 in existing networks, and coexisting with or transitioning from IPv4 |
| openwrt: Linux Firewalls Michael Rash, 2007-09-07 System administrators need to stay ahead of new security vulnerabilities that leave their networks exposed every day. A firewall and an intrusion detection systems (IDS) are two important weapons in that fight, enabling you to proactively deny access and monitor network traffic for signs of an attack. Linux Firewalls discusses the technical details of the iptables firewall and the Netfilter framework that are built into the Linux kernel, and it explains how they provide strong filtering, Network Address Translation (NAT), state tracking, and application layer inspection capabilities that rival many commercial tools. You'll learn how to deploy iptables as an IDS with psad and fwsnort and how to build a strong, passive authentication layer around iptables with fwknop. Concrete examples illustrate concepts such as firewall log analysis and policies, passive network authentication and authorization, exploit packet traces, Snort ruleset emulation, and more with coverage of these topics: –Passive network authentication and OS fingerprinting –iptables log analysis and policies –Application layer attack detection with the iptables string match extension –Building an iptables ruleset that emulates a Snort ruleset –Port knocking vs. Single Packet Authorization (SPA) –Tools for visualizing iptables logs Perl and C code snippets offer practical examples that will help you to maximize your deployment of Linux firewalls. If you're responsible for keeping a network secure, you'll find Linux Firewalls invaluable in your attempt to understand attacks and use iptables—along with psad and fwsnort—to detect and even prevent compromises. |
