11.4.2Types of DoS Attacks - Continued ICMP Vulnerability

ICMP is an error-reporting protocol that works in concert with IP. The following ICMP types trigger an alert:

Illegal Commands (NetBIOS and SMTP)

The only legal NetBIOS commands are the following - all others are illegal.

All SMTP commands are illegal except for those displayed in the following table.

Traceroute

Traceroute is a utility used to determine the path a packet takes between two endpoints. Sometimes when a packet fi lter fi rewall is confi gured incorrectly an attacker can traceroute the fi rewall gaining knowledge of the network topology inside the fi rewall.

4.Often, many DoS attacks also employ a technique known as “IP Spoofing” as part of their attack. IP Spoofi ng may be used to break into systems, to hide the hacker’s identity, or to magnify the effect of the DoS attack. IP Spoofi ng is a technique used to gain unauthorized access to computers by tricking a router or fi rewall into thinking that the communications are coming from within the trusted network. To engage in IP spoofi ng, a hacker must modify the packet headers so that it appears that the packets originate from a trusted host and should be allowed through the router or fi rewall. The WR3000 Wireless Router blocks all IP Spoofi ng attempts.
