IP Spoofing ppt-523

This technical seminar presentation provides an overview of IP spoofing, which hides an attacker's identity by forging the source IP address in packets. It discusses how IP spoofing works at a technical level by manipulating source addresses in IP packets. The presentation also covers the history of IP spoofing, its applications like denial of service attacks, methods for stopping spoofing, and advantages/disadvantages. It concludes by noting IP spoofing remains a threat but is less of one today due to operating system patches and use of random sequence numbering.

Introduction

 IP Spoofing is one of the most common forms of on-


line camouflage.

 IP Spoofing gains an unauthorized access over a


network.
IP SPOOFING
What is IP Spoofing

 An IP (Internet Protocol) address is the address that


reveals the identity of your Internet service provider
and your personal Internet connection.

 IP Spoofing hides the IP address by creating IP packets


with bogus IP addresses.
Why IP Spoofing Is easy

 IP routing is hop by hop.

 Routers look at destination addresses only.

 Authentication based on Source addresses only.


How IP Spoofing Works

 The Internet Protocol or IP is used for sending and receiving


data over the network.

 Each packet of information that is sent is identified by the IP


address.

 If you try to respond to the information, it will be sent to a


bogus IP address.
Why IP Spoofing is Used
 Hackers use IP spoofing so they do not get caught

spamming and to perpetrate denial of service attacks.

 IP Spoofing eliminates the need to provide a user name

and password to log onto the network.


Brief History of IP Spoofing

 The concept of IP spoofing was initially discussed in


academic circles in the 1980's.

 In the April 1989 article entitled: “Security Problems


in the TCP/Protocol Suite”, author S. M Bellovin of
AT & T Bell labs was among the first to identify IP
spoofing as a real risk to computer networks.
Applications of IP spoofing
 Many other attacks rely on IP spoofing mechanism,

for example SMURF attack (also known as ICMP

flooding).

 Denial of service (DoS) attacks uses IP Spoofing

mechanism.
Spoofing Attacks
 Non-Blind Spoofing

 Blind Spoofing

 Man in the Middle Attack

 Denial of Service Attack


Stopping IP Spoofing Attack
 Packet filtering

 Compression

 Cryptography

 Software to stop IP Spoofing


Advantages
 Multiple Servers : Sometimes you want to change where

packets heading into your network will go.

 Transparent Proxying : Sometimes you want to pretend that

each packet which passes through your Linux box is destined

for a program on the Linux box itself.


Disadvantages
 Blind to Replies: A drawback to IP source address spoofing is

that reply packet will go back to the spoofed IP address rather

than to the attacker.

 Serial attack platforms: However, the attacker can still maintain

anonymity by taking over a chain of attack hosts.


Conclusion
 IP spoofing is less of a threat today due to the patches to the

Unix Operating system and the widespread use of random

sequence numbering.

 Security professionals are predicting a shift from IP Spoofing to

application related spoofing.
