<BR>Kernel Level Security
<BR>Wed, 19 Jan 2000 03:54:22pm

<BR>
<BR>As technology gets more and more advanced, the need for better electronic <BR>security becomes higher. Many technology companies have made millions by <BR>providing user-space security programs and Web Appliances. While this <BR>top-down approach to security has served its purpose, there has been a push <BR>towards a more bottom-up solution.
<BR>
<BR>The flexibility of the Linux kernel allows for such an approach. There are <BR>several new kernel patches that can prevent the basic exploits used to breech <BR>security. The Linux Intrusion Detection System (LIDS) is a kernel patch that <BR>can completely secure files on your hard disk. When the LIDS kernel <BR>components are in effect, a specified list of files CANNOT be changed, not <BR>even by root. An instance where this patch would be exceptionally handy is <BR>preventing the new trend of web graffiti. If you don't think web page <BR>defacing is a problem, visit www.2600.com and view the archive of hacked web <BR>sites. The LIDS patch can be used to secure the HTML and CGI scripts used by <BR>your web server. This means that even if a hacker obtains root access, he <BR>cannot edit or remove these files.
<BR>
<BR>Another popular hacking technique is to replace 'ls' command with an altered <BR>version which will not list the extraneous directories the hacker is placed <BR>on your filesystem. One of the more advanced features of LIDS is its ability <BR>to protect the Master Boot Record. Webmotion, Inc. has merged their own <BR>intrusion detection system with the LIDS product. The new features that <BR>Webmotion has added are an alert mechanism for security breach attempts, the <BR>ability to block insertion of modules into the kernel, or to require a <BR>password, and the ability to hide processes in ps and in the /proc <BR>filesystem.
<BR>
<BR>The Secure Linux Patch adds limitations to user-space memory to decrease the <BR>ability of an attacker to perform the more common buffer exploits. Secure <BR>Linux Patch also limits the ability tp place symbolic links and FIFOs in the <BR>/tmp directory. Since the /tmp directory is world readable and writable, <BR>programs could take advantage of this to exploit race conditions. Another <BR>popular exploitation is to redirect the 0, 1, and 2 file descriptors of a <BR>file. These descriptors (standard input, standard output, and standard error <BR>respectively) would then be directed to write to or take input from another <BR>file or FIFO. Secure Linux insures that these file descriptors are opened <BR>properly upon each process execution. This patch can also block certain parts <BR>of the /proc filesystem from being viewed by all users. This keeps potential <BR>hackers from gaining precious user and process information about your server. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>The International Kernel Patch allows for the inclusion of strong <BR>cryptography in the Linux Kernel. This, in conjunction with other software, <BR>can allow the inclusion of strong cryptography in almost every aspect of the <BR>kernel. One of the most impressive implementations of this is the EHD patch <BR>to the util-linux set of basic Linux utilities, allowing for encryption of <BR>mounted devices, to prevent hijacking of information. EHD will encrypt a <BR>user's home directory so that only those who know the passphrase can access <BR>his/her files. The encryption is implemented via the International kernel <BR>patch and an encrypted loop device. Combining the two allows a user to mount <BR>and decrypt their home directory across an encypted loop device. This makes <BR>sniffing data virtually impossible.
<BR>
<BR>Another implementation of the International kernel patch is the Crypto IP <BR>Encapsulation (CIPE). This implements the transmission of encrypted UDP <BR>packets between routers. This makes for a quick and dirty sort of Virtual <BR>Private Network. You can use this encrypted correspondance between routers to <BR>connect two secured subnets across an unsecure network in between. One <BR>example would be to use CIPE to connect two corporate networks across an <BR>insecure production network in between.
<BR>
<BR>These tips, in conjunction with a secure network layout, will keep your data <BR>safe from the prying eyes of the internet.
