Event Details

Details on the eight specific event types and the information logged are:

IP Source Address Spoofing

The Gateway checks all incoming packets to see if the IP address attached is valid for the interface the packet is received through. If the address of the packet is not valid for the interface the packet is discarded.

Logged information includes:

IP source address

IP destination address

Number of attempts

Time at last attempt

IP interface

 

Source Routing

IP source routing information packets will be received and accepted by the Cayman Gateway. Logging of this activity is provided in the event the source route information has been forged, but appears as valid data.

Logged information includes:

IP source address

IP destination address

Number of attempts

Time at last attempt

IP interface

 

Subnet Broadcast Amplification

Distributed DoS (Denial of Service) attacks often use a technique known as broadcast amplification, in which the attacker sends packets to a router’s subnet broadcast address. This causes the router to broadcast the packet to each host on the subnet. These, in turn, become broadcast sources, thereby involving many new hosts in the attack. The Cayman unit detects and discards any packets that would otherwise be transmitted to a subnet broadcast address. The Security Monitoring logs the event.

Logged information includes:

IP source address

IP destination address

Number of attempts

Time at last attempt

IP broadcast address

 

Illegal Packet Size (Ping of Death)

The maximum size of an IP packet is 64K bytes, but large packets must usually be fragmented into smaller pieces to travel across a network. Each fragment contains some information that allows the recipient to reassem- ble all of the fragments back into the original packet. However, the frag-
