HACKERVIEW VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW

Executive Summary This HackerView Vulnerability Assessment (HackerView) is considered a “black box” vulnerability assessment, which measures the “hackability” of a network given an attacker with a certain amount of skill, resources and no prior knowledge of the network being assessed. As such, black box vulnerability assessments are best defined as an outcome -based metric for measuring the security of a network, where the findings point to the most likely avenues for a hacker on the Internet to exploit.

The scope of this analysis was to remotely audit and analyze the system and resources of these subnets. This provides a “hacker’s eye view” of the system to discover its security vulnerabilities and weaknesses to possible hacker pene tration or attack. BlackHat Consultants used multiple tools and tested for thousands of different potential security vulnerabilities.

For this HackerView, I would rate the security of the network at a significant risk for an external compromise. The rating of a significant risk is weighted by the service that is publicly accessible and the potential information that a hacker would fin d on the compromised network.

 

SERIOUS MODERATE MINOR

During the process of this analysis, BlackHat Consultants discovered numerous weaknesses, which range from misconfigurations, to data leakage, to unsupported operating systems, to general poor security practices.

Summary Findings

Highlights discovered from enumerating and scanning the IP addresses:

 Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

o RDP should only be used in conjunction with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection, rather than a substitute for it. While RDP does have some security features, it does not create a secure tunnel like a VPN connection establishes and this is a security risk. RDP directly from the Internet is a poor security practice.

o There are well-published “man in the middle” attacks on RDP, where the credentials and entire traffic of RDP sessions can be captured and decrypted. This would provide a hacker unfettered access to your network.

o There is an astonishing amount of data displayed from several of the server RDP pages, which are visible to everyone on the Internet.

 Unsupported Operating System (OS). o Microsoft officially retired Windows Server 2000 on July 13, 2010. This server should have been replaced by

Windows Server 2003 and once again by Windows Server 2008, so it is past due for retirement. o As an unsupported OS, no new software updates or security patches will be released. This means a ny new

vulnerability that comes out affecting the OS will be a permanent risk. o From a liability perspective, running an unsupported OS is a negligent act on behalf of a company since it is a

failure to show due care and due diligence by maintaining only supported systems. The only prudent measure is to decommission this system and use a supported OS.

 Unpatched Firewall. o The Cisco ASA firewall appears to be unpatched and has vulnerabilities associated with the current version. o The associated vulnerabilities affect the security of the VPN and also uptime, since it can lead to a denial of

service.

Assessment of Findings

There are several ways to start, if a hacker was going to attack the network with information available today. A hacker may start with attacks against RDP or Server 2000. If that was unsuccessful, the hacker may go after u sers since they would know the naming convention of the user accounts and it would not be hard to launch a “spear phishing” campaign to send malware – embedded email to an employee and have them open it, such as a PDF attachment or a hyperlink to follow. While there are worse networks out there, as compared to this one, the bottom line is that this network fails to make itself look less appeal ing than other business networks for hackers. By being in the category of “low hanging fruit” for the perceived ease of exploiting, this network rates an elevated risk for hackers to attack.

Online Public Database Search

There are various public databases, accessible via the Internet, which may contain information about your network, systems, and company. Under normal circumstances, this information is not confidential and does not contain any errors. How ever, it is also possible for these public databases to contain sensitive and/or incorrect data. If this is the case, the potential impact could vary widely. It may be a simple typo, it may allow your network to be hijacked by hackers, or it may expose proprietary information to the Internet.

Because this information is specific to your network, a hacker cannot automatically determine if this information is correct or not. Please review the results listed below for each of these queries to ensure that the information is both correct and non – confidential.

In this section, the IP address 1.2.3.4 was queried using the Google search engine. Specifically, BlackHat Consultants searched for suspicious public information that may contain confidential details about 1.2.3.4, like password or login information.

 

Nothing was found from the Google search

5 Microsoft Windows Server Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (MS08-067)

QID: 90464 CVSS Base: 10 Category: Windows CVSS Temporal: 8.3 CVE ID: CVE-2008-4250 Vendor Reference: MS08-067 Bugtraq ID: 31874 Service Modified: User Modified:

02/12/2009 –

 

Edited: No PCI Vuln: Yes

 

THREAT: The Microsoft Windows Server service provides RPC support, file print support and named pipe sharing over the network. The Server service allows the sharing of local resources (such as disks and printers) so that other users on the network can access them. It also allows named pipe communication between applications running on other computers and your computer, which is used for RPC.

 

The Server service is vulnerable to remote code execution issue, due to the service not properly handling specially-crafted RPC requests. Any anonymous user who can deliver a specially-crafted message to the affected system could try to exploit this vulnerability. Windows XP Embedded Systems:- For additional information regarding security updates for embedded systems, refer to the following MSDN blog(s): December 2008 Updates are Available (including for XPe SP3 and Standard) (http://blogs.msdn.com/embedded/archive/2008/12/26/december-2008-updates-are-available-including-for-xpe-sp3-and- standard.aspx)

5 Microsoft SMB Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (MS09-001)

QID: 90477 CVSS Base: 10 Category: Windows CVSS Temporal: 7.8 CVE ID: CVE-2008-4834, CVE-2008-4835, CVE-2008-4114 Vendor Reference: Bugtraq ID:

MS09-001 –

 

Service Modified: 03/26/2009 User Modified: – Edited: No PCI Vuln: Yes

 

THREAT: The Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol is a network file sharing protocol used to provide shared access to files, printers, serial ports, and miscellaneous communications between nodes on a network. It is a client-server implementation and consists of a set of data packets, each containing a request sent by the client or a response sent by the server.

 

The following remote code execution and denial of service vulnerabilities have been identified in Microsoft SMB protocol which occur when processing specially crafted SMB packets.

 

1) A vulnerability exists in the way SMB allocates space for a transaction structure and later tries to clear more memory than it should when a TRANS request is processed, allowing an attacker to take control of the system. (CVE-2008-4834)

 

2) A flaw exists in the way SMB allocates and clears a data structure relating to the OPEN2 command. SMB protocol software insufficiently validates the buffer size before writing to it, allowing attackers to take complete control of the system and allowing remote execution of code. (CVE-2008-4835)

 

3) A denial of service vulnerability exists due to the way “srv.sys” handles malformed SMB WRITE_ANDX packets sent to an interface that uses a Named Pipe as endpoint. This flaw allows remote attackers to send a specially-crafted network message to a computer running the Server service causing it to stop responding. (CVE-2008-4114)

 

Attempts to exploit any of the above listed vulnerabilities does not require authentication.

Microsoft has rated the issues as critical for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, and moderate for Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Windows XP Embedded Systems:- For additional information regarding security updates for embedded systems, refer to the following MSDN blog(s): February Security Updates are Now Available (http://blogs.msdn.com/embedded/archive/2009/03/02/february-security-updates-are-now-avaiable.aspx) (KB958687)January 2009 Security Updates for Runtimes Are Available (http://blogs.msdn.com/embedded/archive/2009/01/22/january-2009-security-updates-for-runtimes-are-available.aspx) (KB958687)

IMPACT: An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability could install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Successful exploitation also results in denial of service which causes the affected system to crash and stop responding.
