General

mentation information can also be exploited to create an illegally sized packet. Unwary hosts will often crash when the illegal fragment corrupts data outside of the “normal” packet bounds. The Cayman unit will detect and discard illegal packet fragments, and the Security Monitoring software logs the event.

Logged information includes:

IP source address

IP destination address

Number of attempts

Time at last attempt

Illegal packer size

 

Port Scan

Port scanning is the technique of probing to determine the list of TCP or UDP ports on which a host, or in our case, a Gateway is providing services. For example, the HTTP service is usually available on TCP port 80. Once hackers have your port list, they can refine their attack by focusing atten- tion on these ports. According to the TCP/IP/UDP standards, a host will return an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) message stating “port unreachable” on all inactive ports. The Security Monitoring software moni- tors these circumstances, and will log an alert if it appears the cause is the result of someone running a port scan.

Logged information includes:

Protocol type

IP source address

Time at last attempt

Number of ports scanned

Highest port

Lowest port

Port numbers of first 10 ports scanned

Excessive Pings

The PING (Packet InterNet Groper) Utility is used by hackers to identify prospective targets that can be attacked. The Security Monitoring software will record instances where the router itself is pinged by the same host more than ten times.

Logged information includes:

IP source address

IP destination address

Number of attempts

Time at last attempt
