How to Teach This Module
This section contains information that will help you to teach this module
Lesson: Determining Threats and Analyzing Risks to Network
Perimeters
Explain that the perimeter of a network is any entry point into an organization’s network A screened subnet (which is a type of network perimeter) and a single computer on a network that is directly connected to the Internet are both examples of a network perimeter Emphasize to students that a network perimeter is more than just a DMZ, demilitarized zone, or screened subnet—it
is anything that reaches outside the network that could allow an attacker inside the network
This page is intended simply to give examples of vulnerabilities To elaborate attacks, draw upon your own experiences The next page deals with common vulnerabilities, so try not to skip ahead
Explain the vulnerabilities, but do not discuss how to secure against them The second lesson in the module covers that topic
This practice requires that students have classroom access to the Internet If students do not have classroom access, simply read the practice answers to them and then ask students if they have experienced such attacks
Lesson: Designing Security for Network Perimeters
This section describes the instructional methods for teaching this lesson Emphasize the additional reading and Web sites referenced throughout the module for additional depth on the topics provided
This page introduces screened subnets Use this page to reemphasize what the perimeter of a network is The common designs shown are known by many different names Emphasize the fact that different parts of a network may be separated from each other by perimeters; for example, a main office and a branch office, or a main network and a test network Be sure to point students to
the ISA Server Installation and Deployment Guide, under Additional Reading
on the Web page on the Student Materials CD
This page emphasizes the threats that network computers are under, and the threats to which those computers expose the network when they connect to outside networks Many students may feel that this module is or is supposed to
be about screened subnets; emphasize that an organization’s computer that is connected to an outside network is effectively on the perimeter of the organization’s network, and may present a serious risk to network security As security designers, students must be aware of the risks involved and design security measures to mitigate against those risks
Answers may vary Use the security responses that students give to generate classroom discussion

Trang 5Use this page to review the content of the module Students can use the checklist as a basic job aid The phases mentioned on the page are from Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) Use this page to emphasize that students must perform threat analysis and risk assessment on their own networks for the topic covered in this module, and then they must design security responses to protect the networks
Assessment
There are assessments for each lesson, located on the Student Materials compact disc You can use them as pre-assessments to help students identify areas of difficulty, or you can use them as post-assessments to validate learning
Lab A: Designing Security for Network Perimeters
To begin the lab, open Microsoft Internet Explorer and click the name of the lab Play the video interviews for students, and then instruct students to begin the lab with their lab partners Give students approximately 20 minutes to complete this lab, and spend about 10 minutes discussing the lab answers as a class
For general lab suggestions, see the Instructor Notes in Module 2, “Creating a Plan for Network Security.” Those notes contain detailed suggestions for
facilitating the lab environment used in this course

Lesson: Determining Threats and Analyzing Risks to
Network Perimeters
***************************** ILLEGAL FOR NON - TRAINER USE ******************************
The perimeter, or boundary, of a network is where your organization ends and the area outside your organization begins Perimeters are not always easy to identify Attackers who penetrate weaknesses in your perimeter can potentially access information on your network
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
! Describe the perimeter of a network
! Explain the importance of perimeter security
! List common vulnerabilities to perimeter security

Trang 9What Is the Perimeter of a Network?
***************************** ILLEGAL FOR NON - TRAINER USE ******************************
A perimeter is any point that connects to networks outside of an organization
In a typical network, perimeter points can include:
organization
trusted partners, or other facilities outside of the organization
as business-to-business (B2B) services, that the organization exposes to public networks, such as the Internet
are accessing the internal network across a public network
access services running in a screened subnet
outside of an organization’s physical facilities
Key points

Why Perimeter Security Is Important
***************************** ILLEGAL FOR NON - TRAINER USE ******************************
Assets are vulnerable to threats from both external and internal attackers For example:
An external attacker runs a series of port scans on a network The attacker uses the information to create a network diagram of the perimeter, including computers in the screened subnet, operating systems of network devices and computers, services running in the screened subnet, and the level of security that is implemented on the network The attacker researches known
vulnerabilities of these network devices, computers, and services, and then attacks the network systematically
An employee receives an e-mail from a friend through an external Web-based e-mail account When the employee opens a file that is enclosed in the e-mail, a new worm virus automatically spreads to all computers on the internal network The traffic from the spreading virus slows legitimate traffic, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) for network users
Trang 11Common Vulnerabilities to Perimeter Security
***************************** ILLEGAL FOR NON - TRAINER USE ******************************
Of all the areas of your network, the network perimeter has the greatest exposure to public networks and therefore is one of the areas most threatened
by attack Before Internet connectivity became common, an organization’s network often maintained only one connection to a public network
Today, Internet access, remote access, and branch office connectivity have become vital to the operation of an organization As organizations increase their requirements for connectivity, the difficulty of managing network connections increases, and so does the risk that information and computers may be exposed
to attack

site, at: http://www.iss.net/security_center/advice/Underground/

Northwind Traders has 10,000 users who work in one facility All users have computers running Microsoft® Windows® 2000 that belong to an Active Directory® directory service domain Northwind Traders recently deployed a Web server so that employees can retrieve their e-mail messages
The IT manager has asked you to explain how a Land attack and a SYN flood attack (or SYN-ACK attack) can prevent users from retrieving their e-mail Use the Internet to locate information about how Land and SYN-ACK attacks affect perimeter security
1 What is a Land attack, and how can it prevent users from receiving their mail messages?
e-A Land attack sends SYN packets with the same source and destination
IP addresses and the same source and destination ports to a host computer This makes it appear as if the host computer sent the packet
to itself The host will continue to attempt to contact itself and prevent legitimate traffic from being processed An attacker could use a Land attack against the router, firewall, or Web server at Northwind Traders
to prevent users from retrieving their e-mail
Sources of information include:
• The Web page, CERT Advisory CA-1997-28 IP Denial-of-Service
Attacks, on the CERT Coordination Center Web site, at:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-1997-28.html
• Q165005, Windows NT Slows Down Because of Land Attack
Introduction
Questions
Trang 132 What is a SYN-ACK or SYN flood attack, and how can it prevent users from receiving their e-mail messages?
At the beginning of a TCP connection, a SYN-ACK attack sends a SYN packet to the target host from a spoofed source IP address The target host responds with a SYN-ACK packet, and then leaves the TCP sessions in a half-open state while waiting for the spoofed host to respond Because the spoofed host will never respond, the session will remain half open The attacker repeatedly changes the spoofed source address on each new packet that is sent to generate additional traffic and deny legitimate traffic An attacker could use a SYN-ACK attack against the router, firewall, or Web server at Northwind Traders to prevent users from retrieving their e-mail messages
Sources of information include:
• RFC 2267, Defeating Denial of Service Attacks which employ IP
Source Address Spoofing
• Q142641, Internet Server Unavailable Because of Malicious SYN

***************************** ILLEGAL FOR NON - TRAINER USE ******************************
A perimeter of a network is by nature a place of low trust You must ensure that your network perimeter is secure and that it provides the services that you, your customers, and your partners require Identify the perimeter, decide what services you will provide in the perimeter, and determine how you will securely manage and monitor these services You can also use firewalls and hardware devices to secure your network perimeter from attack
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
! Describe common network perimeter designs
! Explain the steps for designing a secure screened subnet
! Explain how perimeter devices protect a network
! List guidelines for protecting computers on a perimeter
