Insertion, Evasion, and Denial of Service: Eluding Network Intrusion DetectionAdded by Papergrl
Description:
We outline in this paper two basic problems with the reliability of passive protocol analysis: 1 there isn't enough information on the wire on which to base conclusions about what is actually happening on networked machines, and (2) the fact that the system is passive makes it inherently "fail-open," meaning that a compromise in the availability of the IDS doesn't compromise the availability of the network. We define three classes of attacks which exploit these fundamental problems---insertion, evasion, and denial of service attacks --- and describe how to apply these three types of attacks to IP and TCP protocol analysis. We present the results of tests of the efficacy of our attacks against four of the most popular network intrusion detection systems on the market.
