Hey there and welcome to Jorel's blog.
This site was created as a requirement for my ITSA (Information Technology - Security and Analytics) class but I do intend to use it when I'm done with all the schoolwork and other stuff that keep me busy these days, so stay tuned :)

Pcap 1


Because I couldn't figure out how to upload my pcap document here I was forced to copy paste it onto the blog XD


Using the packet capture (pcap) file named “First PCAP attack-trace”, please answer the questions posed below, and substantiate your answers by providing the supporting data (taken from the pcap file).  Then, you should save your file following this format: <student#_lastname_report_pcap1.doc>.  Then upload the file to your respective individual folders in the yahoogroup. 

For obvious reasons, you are reminded to conduct yourselves in a mature, ethical and moral behaviour.  Plagiarism and dishonesty are not tolerated. 

Good luck in your first pcap analysis!

  1. Which systems (i.e. IP addresses) are involved? (2pts)
192.150.11.111
98.114.205.102

  1. What can you find out about the attacking host (e.g., where is it located)? (2pts)  Hint: you may use “whois” on the web to find out the details of the location.
Adobe Systems Inc. & Verizon Online
I believe the attacking party was Verizon though.

  1. How many TCP sessions are contained in the dump file? (2pts)
179

  1. How long did it take to perform the attack? (2pts)
Approximately 16 seconds.

  1. Which operating system was targeted by the attack? And which service? Which vulnerability? (6pts)
Windows XP (5.1)
Windows 2000

  1. Can you sketch an overview of the general actions performed by the attacker? (5pts)

  1. What specific vulnerability was attacked? (2pts)
The attacker flooded the target computer with [ACK] requests so I believe this is a buffer overflow attack.

  1. Was there malware involved? What is the name of the malware (We are not looking for a detailed malware analysis for this challenge)? (2pts)
ssms.exe

  1. Do you think this is a manual or an automated attack (2pts)?  Why?
Automated, primarily because of the frequency of attacks, as well as the fact that so much was done in such a small amount of time.


Bonus:
  1. What actions does the shellcode perform? Please list the shellcode (10 pts)
