  • ### Since the following parameters are applied on both interfaces, the effective properties are as follows:
    # Delay: 5s +/- 1s with a normal distribution (default)
    # Packet Loss: 50% of packets will be randomly dropped and each successive probability depends by 25% on the last one
    # Packet Duplication: 3%
    # Packet Corruption: 1% of all traffic
    # Packet Reordering: first 25% of packets (with a correlation of 50%) will get sent immediately
    sudo tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 2.5s 0.5s loss 25% 25% duplicate 1.5% corrupt 0.5% reorder 12.5% 50%
    sudo tc qdisc add dev eth1 root netem delay 2.5s 0.5s loss 25% 25% duplicate 1.5% corrupt 0.5% reorder 12.5% 50%

• Created Seeds VMs for 2911,2811,3845, and ASR.
• Configured and tested POS interfaces on ASRAzure Site Recovery (had to create 2 VRFs)

8/11/2015

8/17/2015

• Configure Windows Server 2003 VMVirtual Machine IP settings.  Setup FTPFile Transfer Protocol server.

8/21/2015

• Installed Bumble on MSR.
• CT 2.4 which was delieved is not compatible with current ICON image (Debian 7.8)

8/24/2015

• Downloaded and installed Ubuntu Server 10.04. This is the library version that was delievered with Bumble.
• Performed smoke test of Bumble.
• Added survey commands:

  • tp survey create 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 icmp -en

  • tp survey create 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 tcp -en

• Added redir rules:
  • redir create 10.1.243.2 255.255.255.255 0 0 XXX.X.XXX.XXX (JUMPSTART-5[US]) 255.255.255.255 0 0 tcp 10.1.243.2 0 XXX.X.XXX.XXX (JUMPSTART-5[US]) 0 0 -en
• Potential bug:
  • Add survey and redir rule.
    • redir create 10.1.243.2 255.255.255.255 0 0 XXX.X.XXX.XXX (JUMPSTART-5[US]) 255.255.255.255 0 0 tcp 10.1.243.2 0 XXX.X.XXX.XXX (JUMPSTART-5[US]) 0 0 -en
    • tp survey create XXX.X.XXX.X (JUMPSTART-5[US]) 255.255.255.0 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 tcp -en
  • Test redir.
  • Run Ixia test.
  • Test redir.  If redir fails, then re-try this sequence, but this time without adding the survey rules.  I wonder if the survey transaction log is filling causing the redir rule to stop working.  The translog stopped at index 4000 (is this coincidence or is this the size of the buffer?).

8/25/2015

• Setup IXIA for testing through multiple interfaces.

8/26/2015

• Tweaked IXIA to test through MSR with endpoints on neighboring devices.
• Setup and began 72 hour test through all neighbors.  Score was active on DUT, but no redir/survey rules were created.

8/31/2015

9/1/2015

• Wrote expect scripts to install patch.bin file and add a redir rule.

9/3/2015

• Phone Call with User #73876:
  • score requires a minimum MTUMaximum Transmission Unit of 480Bytes for return traffic (from implant to CTCounter Terrorism).  
  • There is an undefined parameter in the ilm.txt file to configure the the Commx Rx size (CommsMaxIpRxSize)
• Performed individual commands while running tcpdump to capture return packets from implant to route.  These captures depict each packet size for the UDPUser Datagram Protocol packets coming back in response to C2.

9/4/2015

• Modified expect scripts to automate the following: reboot MSR, install implant, and run score survey test.

9/25/2015

• Started 72-hour IXIA enterprise profile for MSR
• Added latency to delay simulator
  • sudo tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 2.5s 0.5s loss 25% 25% duplicate 2% corrupt 3% reorder 25% 50%   (also added same command to eth1)
• Started fresh Atk putty window and ran command: date && sudo time ./reboot_target.exp && sudo ./install_and_run.sh
• Script ran all weekend and all tests were successful, except an ilm connect error was encountered when attempting to cleanup the redir rule after the last test.
• The results can be found in the folder: \\10.9.8.21\Share\Testing\JQJARGON\Test_Results\2015-09-25

9/28/2015

• Inspected wireshark data for test run over the weekend (see previous entry on this page) and noticed several TCPTransport Control Protocol retransmissions, DUPs, and a few Telnet RST. It seems that the RSTReal-time Transport Protocol packets are sent by the MSR to terminate the telnet session.

9/30/2015

• Temporarily add routes to ASRAzure Site Recovery and TR-CoreSwx to allow VMVirtual Machine #3 (XX.XX.XXX.X (EARTHLINKBUSINESS-BLK[US])) access to DAB proxy so that nmap can be installed.
  • Add route to TR CoreSwx:
    • ip route XX.XX.XXX.X (EARTHLINKBUSINESS-BLK[US]) 255.255.255.0 172.20.100.234 name Temp_For_Bumble_VM
  • Add route to Cisco ASR:
    • ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 XXX.XXX.XX.X (EU-MAP-5[US])
  • Setup apt-get proxy settings on VMVirtual Machine #4.
  • Remove routes from routers when complete.

10/1/2015

• Started Tests 1-4 with latency.  Ran in 6.5 hrs.  All tests passed.  Results: Bumble-wLatency_ICON5_2015-10-01_134059_window1.log
• Interesting output:

• pcap file: test_output/151001_134345-tcpdump.pcap
• This test resulted in BUM-8.

10/6/2015

• Installed Xplico server and Analyzed pcap (from BUM-8).
  • Xplico decodes C2 and categorizes it as "Undecoded TCP-UDP" traffic.  
  • SNMP is also categorized as "Undecoded TCP-UDP" traffic.
  • The telnet sessions used during PBD installation is also clearly visible.  This shows all of the telnet commands that are issued (turning on/off Info-Center, ftp of patch file, etc).

10/9/2015

• Bumble 3.1 testing will begin Monday.

10/27/2015

• Installed Bumble 3.1
• All expect scripts used to automate testing stopped working.  New version of CT/ilm seems to display output differently than previous CTCounter Terrorism version.

• Troubleshooted and modified expect scripts to resume automated testing.
  • All expect scripts working.  Ran run_x_times.sh 3 times without failing.
