2. 2 Learning Objectives Discuss Site Security Discuss Wireless LAN Security

3. Site Security

4. 4 Building Security Basics Single point of (normal) entry to building Fire doors and alarms Security centers Monitors for closed-circuit TV (CCTV) Videotapes that must be retained (Don’t reuse too much or the quality will be bad) Interior doors to control access between parts of the building Prevent piggybacking, i.e. holding the door open so that someone can enter without identification defeats this protection

5. 5 Building Security Basics Phone stickers with security center phone number Prevent dumpster diving by keeping dumpsters in locked, lighted area Training security personnel Training all employees Enforcing policies: You get what you enforce

7. 802.11 Wireless LAN Security

8. 8 Basic Terminology Accidental Association Wireless device latching onto a neighboring Access Point when turned on. User may not even notice the association Malicious association Intentionally setting a wireless device to connect to a network Installing rogue wireless devices to collecting corporate info War driving Driving around looking for weak unprotected WLAN

9. 9 802.11b802.11a802.11g 2.4 GHz5 GHz2.4 GHzUnlicensed Band ≤11 Mbps ≤ 54 Mbps Rated Speed IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards 802.11n* 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz ≤ 300 Mbps * Under development 0 Hz Frequency Spectrum Infinity AM Radio service band: 535 kHz-1705 kHz FM Radio service band: 88 MHz-108 MHz 802.11b WLAN: 2.4 GHz-2.4835 GHz 31213# of channels14 802.11g uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme to achieve higher speed than 802.11b AM radio channels have a 10KHz bandwidth FM radio channels: 200KHz bandwidth 35m/100m 25m/75m Range (Indoor/Outdoor) 50m/125m Service band 2.4 - 2.4835 GHz divided into 13 channels Each channel is 22 MHz wide Channels spaced 5 MHz apart Channel 1 centered on 2412 MHz. Channel 13 centered on 2472 MHz Transmissions spread across multiple channels 802.11b and 802.11g devices use only Channel 1, 6, 11 to avoid transmission overlap.

10. 10 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) Security Basic Operation: Main wired network for servers (usually 802.3 Ethernet) Wireless stations with wireless NICs Access points for spreading service across the site Access points are internetworking devices that link 802.11 LANs to 802.3 Ethernet LANs

11. 11 802.11 Frame Containing Packet 802.11 Wireless LAN operation 802.11 refers to the IEEE Wireless LAN standards Notebook With PC Card Wireless NIC Ethernet Switch Access Point Server 802.3 Frame Containing Packet (2) (3) Client PC (1)

12. 12 802.11 Wireless LAN operation Notebook With PC Card Wireless NIC Ethernet Switch Access Point Server 802.11 Frame Containing Packet 802.3 Frame Containing Packet (2) (1) Client PC (3) 1. If the AP is 802.11n-compliant, it could communicate with the notebook even if the notebook has a 802.11a NIC. T F 2. The Wireless AP needs to have a 802.3 interface T F 3. The switch needs to have at least one wireless port. T F 4. How many layers should the Wireless AP have to perform its job?

13. 13 Summary Question (1) Which of the following is among Wireless Access Points’ functions? a)Convert electric signal into radio wave b)Convert radio wave into electric signal c)Forward messages from wireless stations to devices in a wired LAN d)Forward messages from one wireless station to another e)All of the above f)Only c and d

14. 14 MAC Filtering The Access Point could be configured to only allow mobile devices with specific MAC addresses Today, attack programs exist that could sniff MAC addresses, and then spoof them Access Point MAC Access Control List O9-2X-98-Y6-12-TR 10-U1-7Y-2J-6R-11 U1-E2-13-6D-G1-90 01-23-11-23-H1-80 ……………………..

15. 15 IP Address Filtering The Access Point could be configured to only allow mobile devices with specific IP addresses Attacker could Get IP address by guessing based on companies range of IP addresses Sniff IP addresses Access Point IP Address Access Control List 139.67.180.1/24-139.67.180.30/24 139.67.180.75 139.67.180.80 139.67.180.110 ……………………..

16. 16 SSID: Apparent 802.11 Security Service Set Identifier (SSID) It’s a “Network name” of up to 32 characters Access Points come with default SSID. Example: “tsunami” for Cisco or “linksys” for Linksys All Access Points in a WLAN have same SSID Mobile devices must know the SSID to “talk” to the access points SSID frequently broadcasted by the access point for ease of discovery. SSID in frame headers are transmitted in clear text SSID broadcasting could be disabled but it’s a weak security measure Sniffer programs (e.g. Kismet) can find SSIDs easily

17. 17 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Standard originally intended to make wireless networks as secure as wired networks With WEP, mobile devices need a key used with an Initialization Vector to create a traffic key Typical WEP key length: 40-bit, 128-bit, 256-bit WEP key is shared by mobile devices and Access Points Problems: shared keys create a security hole WEP is not turned-on by default 1.Wireless station sends authentication request to AP 2.AP sends back a 128 bits challenge text in plaintext 3.Wireless station encrypts challenge text with its WEP key and sends result to AP 4.AP regenerate the WEP from received result, then compare WEP to its own WEP 5.AP sends a success or failure message WEP authentication process aircrack-ng weplab WEPCrack airsnort Open Source WEP Cracking software

18. 18 802.11i and Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) In 2004, the IEEE 802.11 working group developed a security standard called 802.11i to be implement in 802.11 networks. 802.11i tightens security through the use of the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) TKIP can be added to existing AP and NICs TKIP uses a 128-bit key (that changes) to encrypt the WEP.

19. 19 Using Authentication server or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Access Point 1. Authentication Request 2. Pass on Request to RADIUS Server 3. Get User Lee’s Data (Optional; RADIUS Server May Store Authentication Data) 4. Accept Applicant Key=XYZ 5. OK Use Key XYZ Directory Server or Kerberos Server RADIUS Server / WAP Gateway RADIUS is an AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) protocol Once user authenticated, AP assigns user individual key, avoiding shared key. WPA is an early version of the 802.11i and 802.11x security standards Applicant (Lee)

20. 20 Protocols used in WPA Authentication and data integrity in 802.11i and 802.11x rely on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) which has different options: Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) protocol  Server and mobile devices must have digital certificates  Requires that Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) be installed to manage digital certificates Tunneled WTLS  Digital certificates are installed on the server only  Once server is securely authenticated to the client via its Certificate Authority, a secured tunnel is created.  Server authenticates the client through the tunnel.  Client could use passwords as mean of authentication

21. 21 Soft Access Point* Notebook With PC Card Wireless NIC Ethernet Switch Access Point Server 802.3 Frame Containing Packet (2) (3) Client PC (1) * Also called Rogue Access Point Soft AP Usually, a soft AP is a laptop loaded with cracking software Soft AP allow the hacker to get passwords, MAC address, etc.

22. 22 Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems Monitor the radio spectrum for the presence of unauthorized access points Conventionally, operate by checking the MAC addresses of the participating access points Use fingerprinting approach to weed out devices with spoofed MAC addresses Compare unique signatures exhibited by the signals emitted by each wireless access point against the known signatures of legitimate access points
