  1. Threat Model Tim Moore Tim Moore, Microsoft

  2. Focused on ESS • Looked at 802.11 1999 and then RSN to fix 1999 issues • Not complete Tim Moore, Microsoft

  3. 802.1X key management Station AP 802.11 MAC Tim Moore, Microsoft

  4. Threats • Spoofing • Tampering • Repudiation • Information Disclosure • Denial of Service • Elevation of Privilege Tim Moore, Microsoft

  5. Data message • Spoofing • Information Disclosure • Tampering • WEP! • Integrity and Privacy from RSN • MAC address spoof detection requires Pairwise keys • Station bridging unicast traffic will be decrypted as a Group key • Should this be allowed? As it allows spoofing of MAC addresses Tim Moore, Microsoft

  6. TKIP/AES • If the IV is repeated with a particular key then it is easy to recover the key • 4-way handshake and 48bit IV Tim Moore, Microsoft

  7. Michael • Counter measures make a DoS • Snoop packet • Destroy packet CRC • Flip a bit • Flip bits in ICV to correct • Send packet • RSN uses 1X to information AP in secure way • Rate limit keying to limit affect on other stations until their keys are attacked. Tim Moore, Microsoft

  8. Ack message • Need RA, more bit and Duration from frame to be acked • If more is 0 then do not need duration • Acks for data messages can cause data loss • Destroy message and then send ack • Timing is difficult to respond to a message with a valid ack especially for more=1 but could be done by random acks being sent for more=0 • Acks are generated very low in stack – below encryption/integrity • So protecting is hard • Can detect acks received at wrong time • Should have MIB to log this occurring Tim Moore, Microsoft

  9. (Re-)Association request • Causes station to join DS • implementations send level 2 message to setup bridges • Pass data on/off DS • Change capabilities to AP • RSN IE • Listen interval – DoS causes AP to lose data and disassociate station • With RSN station should not join DS until 4-way handshake completes • Data isn’t sent on/off DS because keys are not configured but also need to hold up level 2 bridge message • Association allocates resources on AP • APs need to limit resources used and recover resources if 4-way handshake doesn’t complete Tim Moore, Microsoft

  10. Note Draft 2.2 pre-auth has a problem in that 4-way handshake completes in pre-auth, anyone sending an association opened DS • Fixed in 298r3 Tim Moore, Microsoft

  11. Authentication • Open – no auth • Shared – dictionary attack • RSN – 802.11 auth is open (i.e. no security) • Currently do open to return 802.11 state machine to 1999 version but should we remove state 2 in RSN? Tim Moore, Microsoft

  12. (Re-)Association response • Change station state • Stations check they are in correct state • Flood AP with association requests for different mac addresses – resource DoS • If received when expecting then goes to correct state and real response is ignored • If received after then ignored • Limit resource usage, recover resources quickly if 802.1X key management doesn’t complete Tim Moore, Microsoft

  13. Probe request • Wastes bandwidth • Gets info from AP Tim Moore, Microsoft

  14. Beacon/Probe response • Change capabilities of AP • Privacy bit • RSN information element • A rogue AP with different capabilities but same SSID • Discloses information about ciphers etc that helps attacker • Station select most secure capabilities of APs in range • DoS by more secure AP • RSN duplicate capabilities into 4-way handshake which is protected • RSN requires Privacy bit to be set • DoS attack by modifying 4-way handshake • RSN requires a configuration option to disallow non-RSN associations. Tim Moore, Microsoft

  15. Disassociation/De-authentication • Deletes/changes state on AP • Remove stations from AP and DS • Nothing in RSN • Sign Disassociation/De-authenticate messages • Do not change 802.11 MAC state • Re-authenticate 802.1X and let 1X delete MAC state Tim Moore, Microsoft

  16. PS-Poll • Used by station to get AP to send packets to station • Causes packets to be dropped at the AP - Dos • Log packets sent on request of a PS-Poll that didn’t get received • Could be joined with ack spoofing to ack the data Tim Moore, Microsoft

  17. RTS/CTS • Not looked at because normally threshold large • Contention free/ack • ATIM Tim Moore, Microsoft

  18. Others • Radio flood • Can we detect this as radio noise and add MIB variables to log it? • Interfere with packet CRC • Detect packet errors – packets with bad CRCs or in particular with radio noise corrupting CRC Tim Moore, Microsoft

  19. 802.1X • Flood EAPOL-Start messages • DoS Authenticator • Flood EAP Request/Identity • Dos Supplicant • EAP_SUCCESS • Supplicant believes auth complete • RSN uses Secure bit for key management complete • RSN encrypts 1X with Pairwise key • EAP_FAILURE • DoS • RSN encrypts 1X with Pairwise key Tim Moore, Microsoft

  20. EAP_Logoff • Encrypt 1X • EAP Request/Identity contains identity information • Change identity for DoS • Read identity • EAP scheme such as EAP_PEAP or EAP_TTLS • Outer identity only needs NAI domain Tim Moore, Microsoft

  21. EAP_Start, logoff and Notification can be tampered with • RSN encrypts 1X after 4-way handshake • PEAP or TTLS will protect inner EAP Tim Moore, Microsoft

  22. PSK • Bad pre-shared keys Tim Moore, Microsoft

  23. 4-way handshake • Send message 1 with wrong ANonce • Implementation mustn’t change session change until message 3 • Changing dest MAC address – DoS Tim Moore, Microsoft

  24. Issues • Association • Sign association message • Use 4-way handshake as network secure • This is in draft 2.2 • Disassociation/De-authenticate • Sign disassociate • Can’t sign de-authenticate because there are cases when you can’t • Disassociation/De-authenticate force 802.1X reauth • If valid disassociate/de-authenticate then 802.1X fails and removes state • If spoofed disassociate/de-authenticate then 802.1X succeeds and state is not removed • Note: Could be used to force 802.1X reauths using resources Tim Moore, Microsoft
