RAMBleed attack

The Rowhammer bug is a reliability issue in DRAM cells that can enable an unprivileged adversary to flip the values of bits in neighboring rows on the memory module. Previous work has exploited this for various types of fault attacks across security boundaries, where the attacker flips inaccessible bits, often resulting in privilege escalation. It is widely assumed however, that bit flips within the adversary’s own private memory have no security implications, as the attacker can already modify its private memory via regular write operations.

PASSWORD PARTITIONING

In this section we show how to perform password partition attacks, using the information obtained from our timing and cache attacks. This enables an adversary to recover the password of a target. 8.1 Partitioning a Dictionary In the first attack variant, our goal is to recover the password from a given dictionary. We accomplish this by repeatedly partitioning the dictionary into correct and incorrect password candidates. Practically, this is implemented by removing incorrect passwords from the dictionary during each partitioning step.

CACHE-BASED ATTACKS ON

In this section we demonstrate that implementations of the hashto-curve algorithm of SAE may be vulnerable to cache-based sidechannel attacks. Similar to the timing attack against MODP groups, this will later on enable an adversary to recover a target’s password. 7.1 Background and Attack Goal The goal of our attack is to learn if the Quadratic Residue (QR) test in the first iteration of the hash-to-curve algorithm succeeded or not.

TIMING ATTACKS ON MODP GROUPS

In this section we empirically show that the hash-to-group method that converts a password into a MODP element is vulnerable to timing attacks. The obtained info will later on be used in password partitioning attacks, allowing one to recover the victim’s password. 6.1 Background Up to this point, we assumed the SAE handshake is executed using elliptic curves.

ATTACK

WPA 3 Attack

12.4.19

Countermeasures

To mitigate our downgrade to dictionary attack, a client should remember if a network supports WPA3-SAE. That is, after successfully connecting using SAE, the client should store that the network supports SAE. From this point onward, the client must never connect to this network using a weaker handshake.

Downgrade to Dictionary Attack

Our first attack is against WPA3-SAE transition mode. Recall from Section 2.2 that in this mode the AP is configured to accept connections using both WPA3-SAE and WPA2. This provides backward compatibility with older clients. Moreover, WPA2’s 4-way handshake detects downgrade attacks, meaning an attacker cannot trick a WPA3-capable client into successfully establishing a connection using WPA2.

The increase in the demand for innovative software has effectively reshaped the software development industry itself. Today, speed and agility are paramount and development teams are pushed to deliver highly advanced applications in record time — which means that writing every single line of code from the ground up is often not a sustainable practice.

BTS resource depletion attack

Every commercial eNB has a maximum capacity of active user connections based on their hardware and software specifications. The purpose of the BTS resource depletion attack is to deplete this capacity of the active RRC Connections, thereby preventing other users from connecting to the target eNB.

ATTACK

LTE Attack

29.3.19

Blind DoS attack

Unlike the aforementioned attack that denies multiple users in an eNB, the Blind DoS attack denies a targeted UE by establishing RRC Connections spoofed as the victim UE. 1) Attack model: The attacker performs the attack within the area covered by the victim’s serving eNB. The attacker also knows the victim’s S-TMSI that can be obtained in three ways

ATTACK

LTE Attack

29.3.19

Remote de-registration attack

During our experiments, we discovered that operational MMEs have several implementation flaws that cause them to unnecessarily de-register the victim UE without notification. The detailed attack scenario is as below. 1) Adversary model: An adversary should be able to send malicious NAS messages to the MME in which the victim UE is registered. Typically, an MME manages a number of eNBs which are distributed throughout large geographical regions.

ATTACK

LTE Attack

29.3.19

SMS phishing attack

1) Adversary model: In this scenario, the adversary sends an SMS message to victim UE1 by spoofing the message sender using the phone number of victim UE2. To this end, the adversary knows the S-TMSI of UE2 to spoof the sender. The phone number of UE1, to which the actual SMS message is sent, is also known. In addition, we assume that the target LTE network provides the SMS through the NAS layer. 2) Attack procedure: ➀ The adversary starts by establishing a spoofed RRC Connection using the S-TMSI of UE2

ATTACKS EXPLOITING UE: AKA
BYPASS ATTACK

1) Adversary model: The adversary is located sufficiently close to the victim UE to trigger handover from an existing eNB to the adversary’s rogue LTE network. To this end, the rogue LTE network transmits an LTE signal with higher transmission power than commercial eNBs. Additionally, the adversary would have to know the list of Tracking Areas (TAs) to masquerade the rogue LTE network as a commercial one. A valid TA Code (TAC) can easily be captured in two ways

Attacks exploiting eNB

In the case of a BTS resource depletion attack, it is impossible for an eNB to distinguish the adversary’s RRC Connection requests from benign RRC connection requests. A possible mitigation to this attack could be to reduce the inactivity timer value to allow an RRC Connection that is unresponsive to the Authentication request to expire.

Attacks exploiting MME and UE

As discussed in Section V, both the Remote de-register attack and SMS phishing attack are rooted from incorrect implementation of the operational MMEs. Thus, these MMEs should be carefully implemented by strictly following the 3GPP standard. The AKA bypass attack is also rooted in the UE handling the mandatory security procedure incorrectly. Therefore, the UE should not proceed with any control plane procedures before completing the mandatory security procedure successfully.

Shaik et al. presented DoS attacks using plain reject messages (NAS TAU reject, Service reject and Attach reject). Raza et al. demonstrated two types of DoS attacks that were able to detach a user from the network: the first uses a plain NAS Detach request message and the other uses Paging with the user’s IMSI. Both studies showed that certain unprotected plain messages may cause denial of service to users.

DrDoS attack

Distributed Reflection Denial of Service attack. An attack is reflective when the attacker makes use of a potentially legitimate third party to send his or her attack traffic, ultimately hiding his or her own identity.

Fragmented ACK Attack

A Fragmented ACK attack is a variation of the ACK & PSH-ACK Flood that uses 1500-byte packets with the goal of hogging the target network’s bandwidth with only a moderate packet rate. If application level filters were applied on network equipment (routers and such), it will have to reassemble the packets, consuming much of its resources. If no filters were applied, these attack packets will be able to pass through many network security devices such as routers, ACLs, and firewalls undetected. These fragmented packets usually contain junk data, as the goal of the attacker is to simply consume all of the target network’s bandwidth.

#RefRef

#RefRef is a Perl-based DoS attack tool developed by the Hacktivist group ‘Anonymous’ that uses a vulnerability in MySQL to perform an SQL injection involving the MySQL BENCHMARK() function. #RefRef abuses the BENCHMARK () function which allows for the repeated execution of an expression in order to exhaust a targeted server’s resources.

Application misuse attack

Application misuse is a category of cyber or security attacks which envelopes the concept of availability-based outages at Layers 5-7 on the OSI model of internetworking. The idea here is to misuse a standard, RFC, business logic or known application vulnerabilities to establish lethargic or unavailable application-layer resources.

TCP Window Scaling

The TCP Window is a buffer that contains a copy of all the packets sent out by a device in case any of the packets are lost in transit (in which case they can be replaced using this buffer and resent minimizing packet loss).

SYN Flood

A SYN flood is a denial-of-service (DoS) attack that relies on abusing the standard way that a TCP connection is established. Typically, a client sends a SYN packet to an open port on a server asking for a TCP connection. The server then acknowledges the connection by sending SYN-ACK packet back to the client and populating the client’s information in its Transmission Control Block (TCB) table.

Fraggle Attack

A Fraggle Attack is a denial-of-service (DoS) attack that involves sending a large amount of spoofed UDP traffic to a router’s broadcast address within a network. It is very similar to a Smurf Attack, which uses spoofed ICMP traffic rather than UDP traffic to achieve the same goal. Given those routers (as of 1999) no longer forward packets directed at their broadcast addresses, most networks are now immune to Fraggle (and Smurf) attacks.

DNS Flood Attack (DNS Flooding)

DNS amplification attack is a sophisticated denial of service attack that takes advantage of DNS servers' behavior in order to amplify the attack. In order to launch a DNS amplification attack, the attacker performs two malicious tasks. First, the attacker spoofs the IP address of the DNS resolver and replaces it with the victim's IP address. This will cause all DNS replies from the DNS servers to be sent to the victim's servers.

DNS

13.4.18

UDP Flood Attack

A UDP flood attack is a network flood and still one of the most common floods today. The attacker sends UDP packets, typically large ones, to single destination or to random ports. In most cases the attackers spoof the SRC IP which is easy to do since the UDP protocol is "connectionless" and does not have any type of handshake mechanism or session.

Boy-in-the-Browser Attack

The Boy-in-the-Browser Attack is a variant of the MitB – Man-in-the-Browser attack involving malware that makes changes to a target machine's routing (often by changing an operating system's hosts file), and subsequently deleting itself.

Low rate attack

Attack aimed at bringing a target down but doing so quietly. This is much different than high rate brute force attacks. These attacks often aim at leaving connections open on the target by creating a relatively low number of connections over a period of time and leaving those sessions open for as long as possible.

Slowloris

Slowloris is a denial-of-service (DoS) tool developed by the grey hat hacker “RSnake” that causes DoS by using a very slow HTTP request. By sending HTTP headers to the target site in tiny chunks as slow as possible (waiting to send the next tiny chunk until just before the server would time out the request), the server is forced to continue to wait for the headers to arrive.

ATTACK

DoS

13.4.18

High-rate attack

These attacks are essentially forceful and often involve flooding the target with an overwhelming flux of packets, whether over saturating its connection bandwidth or depleting the target's system resources. Bandwidth starvation typically assumes the attacker has access to more machines or higher bandwidth than the victim or that it utilizes an Amplification Attack.

Zero-Day - Zero-Minute
Attack

A Zero-Day (or Zero-Minute) Attack is a type of attack that uses a previously unknown vulnerability. Because the attack is occurring before “Day 1” of the vulnerability being publicly known, it is said that the attack occurred on “Day 0” - hence the name.

Hacktivist

"Hacktivist", a portmanteau of "hack" and "activism", was a term coined in 1996 by Omega, a member of the hacking coalition "Cult of the Dead Crow" (cDc). The term can be loosely defined as, "the ethically ambiguous use of computers and computer networks in order to affect the normal operation of other systems, motivated by a desire to protest or promote political ends.

SIP Malformed Attack

Application layer attack on the Session Initiation Protocol- SIP in use in VoIP services, targeted at causing denial of service to SIP servers. A SIP malformed attack consists of sending any kind of non-standard messages (malformed SIP Invite for ex) with an intentionally invalid input, therefore making the system unstable.
