SC_TBITBLIND(1) General Commands Manual SC_TBITBLIND(1) NAME sc_tbitblind -- scamper driver to test systems for resilience to blind TCP attacks. SYNOPSIS sc_tbitblind [-r] [-a addressfile] [-A application] [-c completed-file] [-l limit-per-file] [-o output-file] [-O options] [-p scamper-port] [-t log-file] [-T ttl] [-w wait-between] DESCRIPTION The sc_tbitblind utility provides the ability to connect to a running scam- per(1) instance and use that instance to test systems for resilience to blind TCP attacks, with the output written to a file in warts format. The utility tests a given system for regular TCP behavior, and then tests the system for response to reset, SYN, and data packets that could have come from a blind attacker because the sequence number is not the next sequence number value expected by the receiver (the reset and SYN cases) or the ac- knowledgment value covers data ahead or behind the receiver's point in their sequence number space (the data cases). The utility also tests the system's response to a connection that advertises support for window scal- ing, TCP timestamps, and Selective Acknowledgments (SACK). The options are as follows: -? prints a list of command line options and a synopsis of each. -a addressfile specifies the name of the input file which constists of a sequence of systems to test, one system per line. -A application specifies the type of application to simulate while testing the system. Options are HTTP and BGP. -c completed-file specifies the name of a file to record IP addresses that have been tested. -l limit-per-file specifies the number of tbit objects to record per warts file, be- fore opening a new file and placing new objects. -o output-file specifies the name of the file to be written. The output file will use the warts format. -O options allows the behavior of sc_tbitblind to be further tailored. The current choices for this option are: - noshuffle: do not shuffle the order of the input list or the order of the tests. - gz: compress the warts output using gzip compression. - warts.gz: compress the warts output using gzip compression. - bz2: compress the warts output using bzip2 compression. - warts.bz2: compress the warts output using bzip2 compression. - xz: compress the warts output using xz compression. - warts.xz: compress the warts output using xz compression. -p scamper-port specifies the port on the local host where scamper(1) is accepting control socket connections. -r causes the random number generator used to shuffle tests be seeded. -t log-file specifies the name of a file to log progress output from sc_tbitblind generated at run time. -T ttl specifies the IP-TTL to use with the blind TCP tests. -w wait-between specifies the length of time to wait between any two TCP tests to one system. EXAMPLES Use of this driver requires a scamper instance listening on a port for com- mands, which has been configured to use the IPFW firewall rules 1 to 100, as follows: scamper -P 31337 -F ipfw:1-100 To test a set of web servers specified in a file named webservers.txt and formatted as follows: 1,example.com 1263 192.0.2.1 http://www.example.com/ 1,example.com 1263 2001:DB8::1 http://www.example.com/ 1,example.com 1263 2001:DB8::2 https://www.example.com/ the following command will test all servers for resilience to blind TCP at- tacks and record raw data into webservers_00.warts, webservers_01.warts, etc: sc_tbitblind -a webservers.txt -p 31337 -o webservers The webservers.txt file is required to be formatted as above. The format is: numeric ID to pass to tbit, a label for the webserver, the size of the object to be fetched, the IP address to contact, and the URL to use. To test a set of BGP routers specified in bgprouters.txt and formatted as follows: 192.0.2.2 65000 192.0.2.2 65001 the following command will test all BGP routers for resilience to blind TCP attacks, without shuffling the test order, waiting 180 seconds between tests, and record raw data into bgprouters_00.warts, bgprouters_01.warts, etc: sc_tbitblind -a bgprouters.txt -p 31337 -o bgprouters -A bgp -O noshuffle -w 180 The bgprouters.txt file is required to be formatted as above. The format of that file is: IP address to establish a BGP session with, and the ASN to use. SEE ALSO M. Luckie, R. Beverly, T. Wu, M.
