9. Manufacturing 10. Food & Agriculture 11. Chemicals and Hazardous Materials
12. Defense Industry 13. Public Health
The New Threat: Anyone with a Computer
Potential Sources of Attacks
- Thrill Seekers
- Disgruntled Employees
- Organized Crime
- Terrorist Sympathizers and Anti-U.S. Hackers
- Terrorist Groups
- Nation-States
Thrill Seekers
- No political motives
- Seeking notoriety – bragging rights
- ‘Nuisance attacks’ using pre-fabricated tools and exploits
- Potential for serious disruptions and monetary damage
Terrorist Sympathizers and Anti-U.S. Hackers
- Extremist Muslim groups – known hacker groups (G-Force Pakistan, Pakistan Hackerz Club)
- Anti-Israeli groups
- Anti-capitalism and anti-globalization movement
- Chinese hackers
Terrorist Groups
- Terrorist groups are using information technology
- Terrorists possess the will and can easily obtain the means to attack IT targets
- Potential for major cyber attacks is very high
Cyber Capabilities
- Cyber Attacks…
- Osama bin Laden allegedly gave a statement:
- "hundreds of young men had pledged to him that they were ready to die and that hundreds of Muslim scientists were with him and who would use their knowledge in chemistry, biology and (sic)ranging from computers to electronics againstthe infidels.”
- Mapping US vulnerabilities
- Compound Attacks most dangerous
Nation States: China
- “Our country needs to go all-out to develop high-quality internet warriors. That should include development in exclusive universities as well as attracting private computer users to take part in internet combat".
- Liberation Army Daily
- China views information operations/information warfare (IO/IW) as a strategic weapon for use outside of traditional operational boundaries.
- China is particularly sensitive to the potential asymmetric applications IO/IW can have in any future conflict with a technologically superior adversary.
- Kosovo and the Chinese Embassy strike in Belgrade
- US / China reconnaissance incident
- Impact of Technology in the war on Terrorism Afghanistan

Current Cyber Attack TrendsCERT warns of automated attacks
- Freely available tools exploit vulnerabilities
- Part of the scanning process
- Capable of self-initiation
- Well-managed & coordinated global scale attacks
- Tools like “Sobig” self-propagate to global saturation in 28 minutes.
- IRC and IM are popular coordination attack tools.
- Signature based protection systems(Anti-virus and IDS) are ineffective against the new Polymorphic attacks
- IRC and HTTP are being used to disguise malicious code in legitimate network traffic
- Viruses
- Worms
- Trojans
- Denial of Service
- Computer Intrusions
Viruses/Worms/Trojans
- The Love Bug
- Estimated to have impacted 45 million users
- 20 Different Countries; $10 Billion; Two Days!
- Initiated in Philippines
- No Cyber Crime Legislation
- No extradition
- Anna Kournikova
- Virus in attachment
- Visual Basic Script disguised
as a jpg image
- Code Red v1, v2, Code Red II
- W32 / My Party Worm
- Bugbear Worm
VBS Worm Generator from Internet
Denial of Service Attacks
- A Well Documented Vulnerability
- Victim computer(s) have not been compromised
- Victim computer simply overwhelmed with traffic….ICMP, Syn flood, etc.
- Code Red WhiteHouse.Gov attack
- Distributed Denial of Service…more traffic, harder to trace
- You Have No Control
Computer Intrusion:Typical Methodology
Scanning
Gain user

Network Security Basics
- Develop a written Network Security Policy
- Coordinate with Legal, Security, and IT Departments
- Conduct Routine Network Security Audits
- Maintain and review Network Server and Router logs
- Use Intrusion Detection Software (IDS)
- Regularly backup and archive all critical files
- Investigate network irregularities completely
- Use Access Control List and Encryption
- If Attacked, notify Law Enforcement quickly
When to contact Law Enforcement?
- Computer facilitated (non-intrusion)
- E-mail extortions
- Child pornography
- Fraud & Theft (IFCC) www.ifccfbi.gov
- Computer Intrusion (Title 18 Sec 1030)
- Unauthorized or exceeding authorized access to a protected computer
- National security
- Denial of Service attacks
- Data alteration or destruction
- Theft of intellectual property
- Worms & virus attacks
- Web defacement or Website redirects
You’ve just been hacked.
- What should you do?
- What should you NOT do?
What You Should Do If Attacked…
- Notify corporate security & legal counsel
- Think About:
- Protecting Yourself
- (Mission Critical vs. Proprietary Data)
- Catching the Perpetrator
- Activate your incident management team
- Created PRIOR to any incident
- One person in charge
- One person responsible for evidence.
- Keep a chronological log of events
What To Do (continued)
- Activate all available audit trails & logging.
- What logs were active at the time of the attack?
- Begin keystroke monitoring.
- Banner in place?
- Identify and recover available evidence.
- System log files, system images, altered/damaged files, intruder’s files, network logs (IDS, routers, SNMP, etc.), traditional evidence.
- Secure evidence and maintain simple “chain-of-custody” records.
What To Do (continued)
- Identify source(s) of the attack.
- Record specific damages and losses.
- Important for prosecution
- Prepare for repeat attacks.
- Protecting Mission Critical vs. Proprietary Data
- Theorize - nobody knows your system like you.
- Determine how the intrusion happened.
- Identify possible subjects and motives.
- Call law enforcement – but be patient
What NOT To Do
- Do NOT use the compromised systems before preserving any evidence.
- Do not make assumptions as to Federal jurisdiction or prosecutorial merit.
- Do not assume that by ignoring the incident, or damage to your files, that it will go away.
- Do not correspond via E-mail on a compromised network regarding the incident or the investigation.
What to Expect if you call the FBI
- Agents will interview staff and obtain evidence
- Obtain prosecutive opinion
- Trace the attack (subpoenas, 2703(d) orders, sources
- Identify the subject(s)
- Obtain/execute search warrants, interview subjects
- Examine evidence, identify more victims, develop more leads
- Obtain Federal Grand Jury Indictment
- Arrest and Possible Trail
- Disclosure Issues…
Confidential
Public
What to Expect if you call the FBI
- Possible plea bargaining
- Possible trial
- Sentencing (upon conviction)
- Restitution
These steps do NOT occur quickly!
Self Defense in the Current EnvironmentWhat Can You Do Today?
- Increase logging and filtering
- Protect your data according to its value / use:
- Proprietary vs. Mission Critical
- Understand your Defenses
- (Flexible vs. Rigid)
- Make use of warning banners
- Develop a patch management protocol
- Establish an Incident Management Plan / Team
- Include “Critical Incident” scenarios
- Know your I.T. staff personally – it will matter
- Join your local chapter of InfraGard
Government/law enforcement alliance with private industry

- Cyber Terrorism is a real possibility based upon trends indicating terrorists targeting critical infrastructures
- Sophistication and number of Attacks are on the increase, while executing Attacks are Easier via Automation & Availability of Tools
- Government, law enforcement, intelligence agencies and private industry must work together to protect critical infrastructures and information systems
