Aquaman-5h-Without-Snooping Test Notes
Xetron redelivered Aquaman-5h without snooping as an interim solution to EAREnterprise Archive 5244. Plan is to run through all tests from previous Aquaman-5h testing, as well as verify that the bug from EAREnterprise Archive 5244 is not reproducible.
Testing Summary
- 2960S crashes and reloads if show stacks issued during a reinstall of hg (after initial install with leave_behind and uninstall)
- Confirmed snoop not enabled and EAREnterprise Archive 5244 no longer observed
- Identified 2 things in show tech that need to be checked
- Need to compare some crashinfo and write core files
- See last entry for current status and next tests
Progress / Notes
- Run through HG Base Smoke Tests
- Install/Uninstall without leave-behind
- Establish baseline values for clean target device - skipped because we already have that data from previous testing
- IAC attack - successful, received codes were 125, 60, 159 which are in the readme
- Edited target-aliases to use target address 172.31.255.14
- Edited target-aliases to use correct proc_id
- HG upload - hg_start, left 1s delay between packets
- HG uploaded successfully - result good
- Establish CTCounter Terrorism Session with HG according to readme

- Successful HG comms
- Uninstall according to readme - successful, no anamolies seen
- Did broad on remote - ok
- hg_start to reinstall
- While hg was reinstalling, i typed show stacks on switch - 1s later the switch crashed with the following error:
Instruction Access Exception (0x0400)!
Not sure if this was related to entering show stacks whlie hg reinstall taking place or if that was a coincidence
- While hg was reinstalling, i typed show stacks on switch - 1s later the switch crashed with the following error:
- Attempt to reproduce the crash
- SSHIAC attack
- Changed interpacket time to 0.1s
- hg_start_leave_behind - successful
- Establish CTCounter Terrorism Session

- CI Profile
- Collect output for comparison - collected output in new files, will compare to previous test output
- 29.66712 MB more Used memory with HG installed
- Observed same spikes in CPU during SSHIAC attack, HG upload and SSLSecure Socket Layer handshake as observed in previous testing
- No change to file system
- Show tech - observed known show stacks and show controllers artifacts
- Show tech after hg uninstall - output of show tech platform tcam util asic all has a higher number for one value - IPv4 security aces went from 36 to 284 for ASIC 0 and ASIC 1 - need to test this further
- Show tech with hg - no output for remote command all show vtp status, whereas there is output for without hg and after hg uninstall. need to test this further.
- Added to Rancid and ran once with HG, then uninstalled hg, reloaded switch, and ran rancid again to compare
- RANCID rev 1.3 with HG, rev 1.5 without - no differences
- Collect output for comparison - collected output in new files, will compare to previous test output
- SMITE Smoke Test - following documented HG 3.3.0 SMITE Capability Smoke Test Procedure
- Start with a clean, reloaded 2960-S
- SSHIAC attack and HG install
- Established CTCounter Terrorism session
- Completed module control test - stop, start - did not complete module delete and reload test
- Did not test module persistence
- Created SMITE rule
- Iframe is injected into web page, viewed in source URL
- Able to attach in Windex and view secrets.txt
- Deleted mitm rule - iframe no longer injected
- Samsonite Test Case - Uninstall HG and re-attack
- Reloaded 2960-S to start with a clean target device
- Attacked with SSHIAC, installed HG and established comms
- Attempted uninstall hg command device uninstall_hg -mp -f - then typed yes to confirm, result success.
- Checked used memory on the target 2960-S and the memory has gone back to down normal level without HG installed (may be slight difference, need to do the math), no syslog messages, no CPU spike
- Re-attacked using SSHIAC, installed HG, established HG comms - no anomalies
- Uninstalled HG again using device uninstall_hg -mp -f - no anomalies
- No syslogs
- Used memory back to normal
- Samsonite Test Case - Dropped connection during HG install
- Reloaded 2960-S to start with a clean target device
- Attacked with SSHIAC
- Entered hg_start and after just a few chunks were sent, shut int g1/0/11 via console connection on 2960-S to simulate network outage
- ICON-CT reported HG install failed
- No syslog messages from switch
- Used memory still shows higher than it should, but not as high as if HG were installed - 27657488 (b)
- Issued no shut on 2960-S interface g1/0/11 to re-enable the connection
- Entered hg_start on ICON-CT and HG successfully uploaded - used memory after successful install - 30524888 (b)
- Re-test EAREnterprise Archive 5244
- With HG installed, but no CTCounter Terrorism session, enter service network restart on Seeds host 10x
- Did not see err-disable condition
- Established CTCounter Terrorism session and enter service network restart on Seeds host 10x
- Did not see err-disable condition
- Samsonite Test Case - Attempt to install HG when HG already installed
- Cannot initiate hg_start again via remote - reports comms failure
- Attempted to re-attack with SSHIAC - seemed to go through normal SSHIAC install process, however at the end of the install, could not establish comms with remote
- Broad didn't work
- hg_start fails
- CT session with HG active throughout
- Samsonite Test Case - Enable MITMMan-In-The-Middle attack rule and execute system administrator commands
- Enabled the SMITE MITMMan-In-The-Middle attack rule in HG
- Performed the following with no anomalies observed
- Cleared log buffer
- Disable/re-enable logging
- Multiple show commands - show vlan, mac-address table, memory, proc cpu, proc cpu hist, log,run
- Write mem
- Add/delete a user
- Add/delete a VLAN
- Verified that SMITE works by web browsing from Victim VMVirtual Machine - collected output from Wireshark running on Victim VMVirtual Machine which shows Iframe
- Samsonite Test Case - Issue Cisco "test crash" command to test crash and generate a crashinfo
- With HG installed, issued test crash and selected reason as software forced crash
- Saved output of crashinfo file
- Saved log messages seen upon reboot of switch in log buffer
- Memory used had returned to normal levels for no HG
- Without HG installed, repeated test crash - need to compare crashinfo
- Issued "test crash" command with software forced crash as reason
- Saved output of crashinfo file
- Saved syslog messages seen up reboot of switch in log buffer - Need to compare these crashinfo and log messages
- With HG installed, issued test crash and selected reason as software forced crash
-
Samsonite Test Case - Perform core dump of 2960-S
- Performed a write core and saved to TFTPFile transfer software server - both before and after HG install with comess
- Also collected a write core from after hg uninstall
- Need to compare these files
- Going home - reloaded 2960-S switch right before i left, so it does not have HG. Tomorrow, need to pick up with Test 32 from original Aquaman Test Notes page - testing smite through dualor tunnel. HG is still installed on 2960#1, and I made a CTCounter Terrorism session with that one in the bottom left-hand workspace on ICON-CT. Do not reload that 2960 or remove HG or else we will have to go through the process of modifying the tunnel.ini so that it won't drop tunnel when it detects tap ip active on network.
- OR, could go back complete Test number 25 - Performance tests, which I had skipped.
