  1. Lecture no 17: Name spaces TDT4285 Planlegging og drift av IT-systemer Spring 2007 Anders Christensen, IDI TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst Om du ønsker, kan du sette inn navn, tittel på foredraget, o.l. her.

  2. Definition A name space is a set of possible identifiers that satisfy certain syntactic rules, and where each identifier refers to a unique resource. The name space is usually finite, although other limitations often restrict the number of identifiers that can simultaneously exist in the name space. TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  3. Examples of name spaces • User names at a computer system • Phone numbers • IP-addresses on the network • Hostnames on the network • UIDs for users • URLs on the Web • Nicknames on IRC • E-mail-addresses TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  4. Categories of name spaces • Flat. All identifiers at the same level • Hierarchic. Duplicates are permitted, as long as they exist in different branches of the hierarchy (or network) • Anarchistic (or adaptive). The result of a dynamic process where the name space is constantly changed by identities autonomously being added or subtracted. TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  5. Sparse and Compact name spaces • Sparse name spaces. Where there are enormously many more possible names than are acturally in use. • Compact name spaces. Where a large percentage of the possible names are usually in use. Single errors may be undetectable in compact name spaces, but can be automatically catched in sparse name spaces. TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  6. Metrics for name spaces • Diameter. How many systems (machines) use this namespace? • Thickness. How many different services use this name space. • Consistency. When the same name space is used for several systems in parallel, to what degree are the attributes interpreted the same way by all systems? TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  8. Examples of name spaces • anders (user name) • 735-93681 (phone number) • 129.241.107.66 (IP-address) • furu (hostname) • 26806 (UID for user) • http://www.idi.ntnu.no/emner/tdt4285 (URL) • anchr (nickname on IRC) TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  9. Rules of thumb • Flat name spaces scale badly, and require a central coordination authority. • Dynamic name spaces are practical, but may be chaotic and can have implications for security and overhead. • Hierarchic name spaces are very scalable, but may require a distributed database. • Plan well, because name lives for a long time. TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  10. Five name space policies Note: there are several hybrids of these: • Formula-based. E.g pc001, pc002 etc • Theme-based. E.g january, february etc • Functional. E.g mail, skriver, backup • Anarchistic. I.e everybody chooses their own names • Random. Just choose meaningless, random identifiers. TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  11. Case: naming the printers • Organizational. After group and department • Room-based. After room and building • Theme. After some common theme • Anarchistic. Choose whatever comes to mind • HW-based. Model specification • Serial-no. Name is unique s/n • Formula-based. Enumerate the printers TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  12. Name space policy • Should be written • Must be part of the training • Must be enforced (by whom?) • Must specified accepted (and unacceptable) names • How are new names to be choosen • How are collisions to be handled • Operational: scope, thickness, diameter, etc TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  13. Implications for security • Functional names may reveal information • Deviations from what’s normal may reveal information • Access to changes and additions in a name space may be an important step during a break-in attempt • All info about name spaces are important during reconnaissance and break-in attempts TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst

  17. Generic names and aliases Names often live a lot longer than you may think, so consider the following method: • Name resources according to formula or theme • Make aliases for every important function • Connect the aliases to the currently relevant resource. TDT4285 Planl&drift IT-syst
