Re: TCP SYN attacks - a simple solution
by Mike O'Dell 07 Oct '96

07 Oct '96

best solution known so far is Random Drop of waiting connections once queue fills to a limit at least as large as design RTT*Attack-Rate (queues in the 350-400 range appear to be quite sufficient for RTTs in the 250msec range with 1000-packets/second attacks). Some also argue that somewhat more aggressive aging with Oldest Drop (aka FIFO) also helps while the queue fills to the point of instigating Random Drop. One can mutter about where transition between Oldest and Random should occur. I'm willing to believe hybrid strategy could be better at possible cost of more complexity. (although more agressive Oldest Drop is probably just a timer tweek.) Note that with Random Drop and 350-400 max queue size legit connections almost always complete on the first SYN with no retransmission. cheers, -mo

TCP SYN attacks - a simple solution
by rex＠staff.cs.su.oz.au 07 Oct '96

07 Oct '96

There have been several (many?) products attempting to solve the TCP SYN attack through timeouts. They watch the SYN packets, and flush ones, by doing a RESET on the connection if the third packet isn't received in time. Or letting conenctions fail by flushing the infant connection table when full. I believe this is wrong! There is, I believe, a much simpler solution. The problem is, as I see it, that the current implementations are keeping the first packet (in some form) around, as state. Instead, we want to discard all this state information, to allow us to accept more packets. Only when we have a full connection do we want to keep state information. The only piece of information we require at this early stage is the initial sequence number for our side. I propose a solution where the initial sequence number is calculated (not random), and is based on a cryptographic calculation of the senders Initial Sequence Number, the ports, and a "per boot" secret number. In this way the initial packet can be discarded, and on receipt of the third SYN packet can be recalculated. This means that initial packets, fired from random addreses will never have the third packet, and no overheads are consumed, except for the hash calculation. Since there is only one random number in the connection, the initial sequence number from the originating site, there is a higher probability of "rogue", or lost packets, but if the initial ISN was truely random this shouldn't be to much of a problem (hmmm - am I sure?). Pictorally: Host A to conenct to Host B host A (good) Host B (good) gen ISN send packet to B ---> receives packet, and ISN. uses F(ISN(A) + ports + secret) as calculated ISN for return and sends to A, discards all receives packet <---- state. as normal, and sends third packet ---> receives packet, recalculates ISN from 1st step. If it matches the ACK in the packet then this is a valid connection. The nice thing about this is that no changes have to occur on the sending side. This solution will work with current IP stacks, but will automatically reject bogus connections, and has no silly timeout on valid connections. This scheme does have implications with firewalls that base all decisions on the first packet, such as packet filtering firewalls, but then again, I don't consider them real firewalls. :-) I'm going to implement this, using boring old md5, and give it a try, but I was wondering if there are any thoughts about this as a solution? Any obvious holes I missed. Rex di Bona.

The idea has been floated before, and I believe it to be the right solution to this problem. However, I have some suggested improvements: 1. The use of a "per boot" secret number allows an attacker to poll your machine to deduce the secret, and then attack you with that knowledge. A solution to this problem is to use a rapidly changing secret, the pattern of which cannot be easily deduced, and a sliding window of acceptance. (If the hash doesn't match the current scheme, but matches the scheme we were using in the past N seconds, then accept the packet) The change interval needs to be short enough that, by the time an attacker has been able to compute the next number, the window for accepting that has closed. 2. The TCP specification allows data to ride along with the initial SYN, and requires that after the three-way handshake, that the data be presented to the application layer. One solution is to realize that very few implementations take advantage of this, and simply not accept this form of SYN. A second solution is to NOT ack the data that is riding along, but the TCP state machine definition has some holes here which may not work for all implementations. The solution of buffering those SYN's which contain data is unacceptable, because attackers will simply switch to sending SYNs with data. I believe that switching to this sort of scheme would also thwart most attacks which rely on sequence number prediction, and save memory significantly over schemes which simply increase the number of TCBs allowed. -matthew kaufman matthew(a)scruz.net ps. I've been meaning to write this entire scheme, with the enhancements I propose here, as a draft specification, but I keep getting interrupted by flooded phone rooms and the like this weekend. *sigh*

While it sounds like I completely ignored Curtis' summary message from Monday, in fact, I never received any of those nanog messages and if I had, I doubt that I would have posted my original message. I faithfully read all my nanog mail and I don't understand the gaps in my receipts. It seems to me after reading Curtis' summary that servers can be modified to make the SYN flooding attacks much more difficult to accomplish. Perhaps enough so that source address filtering doesn't have the urgency of implementation and coordination that I thought before reading Curtis' note. --Kent

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 04 Oct '96

04 Oct '96

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Oct 4 12:00:00 PDT 1996 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.
