I'm taking a SANS class this week. I'm a Facilitator. It's not part of my job to help students with questions. I'm here to help SANS set up, distribute the badges and course material, help the instructor with any errands that he needs, and help take everything back down. However, when I know something, I try to help when I can because the instructor has a lot to do.
I've noticed that many students are embarrassed to ask for help. I saw a guy having trouble with a lab. He said that he would do the labs later. I told him what the problem was, but he couldn't remember exactly what to do because he hadn't taken Linux in like 10 years, and we were using a Linux image. I asked if I could have control of his laptop for a minute, and showed him exactly what I did.
Not remembering a class that you took 10 years ago, in something that you don't use daily is nothing to be ashamed of. I only remembered the commands I needed because I had made the same error and worked with Linux not long before then because I'm trying to learn some open source tools like Volatility.
We were working on a SQL Injection lab. In the lab, we attacked a vulnerable web app that was running on our vm. So, we attacked ourselves. (My network adapter was turned completely off so that there was no chance that I could accidentally attack anyone else. The loopback address 127.0.0.1 works regardless of whether the VM's network adapter is enabled or not.) I probably looked like I didn't know much because I took a database class 10 years ago. I used to know SQL fairly well, but when you don't use it daily, it's easy to forget. It's also easy to pick back up, assuming that you knew it to begin with. What is difficult is thinking in the way that an attacker might think. So, I did the lab. I still had time before class started up, so I tried attacking the vulnerable server in a different way. I knew what I wanted to do, but I couldn't remember the syntax. I looked up SQL. I kept making mistakes until I figured it out.
Mistakes help you learn. Will I be likely to make that mistake that I helped the lab guy with? Probably not. Why? Because I learned from it.
Your peers are resources. They may be strong in areas that you are not, and vice-versa. Never be ashamed to make mistakes, ask for help, and provide help in return in a learning environment.
I say to make mistakes in a controlled way, because you want to make certain that you have something correct before trying it on a production environment. After the lab, some guys were saying, "I want to try it on my work database." Don't do that! At least not until you are sure that you know exactly what you are doing. Any information that you might pull down, you could be liable for, depending on your localities' laws. You may be violating some of your work policies, opening up the chance that you could get fired. Until you have permission from your manager, and lawyers, only test your knowledge against your database-a database belonging solely to you.

First GIAC Certification Attempt
I passed my first GIAC certification attempt yesterday.
I can't disclose specific questions from the exam, but I can give a few tips.
I did work-study. I got the OnDemand bundle. I highly recommend going this route if you can. It is less expensive. During class, since the days are so long, you will notice that towards the end of the day, when you're tired, your attention wanes during the more difficult course material that is covered near the end of the day.
Why take the live course then? The instructor provides personal experience, real life examples, and you can ask them questions. You can benefit from the questions/knowledge of your peers as well. They often ask questions that you didn't know that you had until they asked them. You also have networking opportunities with your other peers and during the vendor expos.
The OnDemand bundle is important because if you miss anything during the course, you can listen to them at your own leisure. You feel yourself getting tired, give yourself a break until the next day. Also, the recordings are usually from a conference before the one that you attended, so you'll hear questions/answers from other classes. You'll get different examples as well, that really help to re-enforce the concepts. My instructor was excellent. He added videos of himself doing each of the labs. If you felt like something in the labs was unclear, these videos usually helped to make it clear.
Everyone saying to make an index are correct. GIAC exams are open-book. That doesn't make them easy. I'm not going to say whether or not I felt that my GIAC exam was easy. What I think is easy or difficult doesn't apply to everyone else. We all have different levels of experience. I don't want people to either have a false sense of security or to be intimidated by the exam.
As I mentioned before, Hacks4Pancakes has an excellent guide for indexing. https://tisiphone.net/2015/08/18/giac-testing/ I suggest that you find as many examples of indexing as you can and modify them to suit your learning method.
My method is the following:
I open a spreadsheet while I'm reading the books.
I named the spreadsheet "SEC 301 Index". In the first row, I merged and centered the columns that I would be working in, made the font a little bigger for this row, and named it, you guessed it, "SEC 301 Index".
In the next row, I added the columns: Topic, Book, Module, Page, Notes. Most of these are self explanatory.
In the "Book" section-Some people mention adding colors to differentiate each book. I didn't add colors in my index for the different books. That's personal preference. I find the colors distracting. However, if there were full page examples in the books, I highlighted that line yellow in my slide sheet, as a cue to look at that page if I needed an example. For instance, like a page with the TCP header info and descriptions about what each part of the header was for. There are cheat sheets for the headers, so you may consider taking those. Just remember, if they are separate pages, and they fall out, you are out of luck.
In the "Module" section-I've only seen one set of SANS books, and it did have modules. Other people have mentioned that their SANS books have different modules. The modules will usually have objectives and titles like "Introduction to Networking". Then the next section would be like "Networking Hardware". Just separate the books up into sections covering different subjects, logically. (A couple of places, I added my own sections because they were placed as part of one module, but it spanned 100 pages-the point is to help you find things.) I put dividers in these different areas to make it easier to find things if I need to look through the books. Instead of having to look through a whole 173 page book, I'd have to look through a 20 page section, for example.
In the "Notes" section-I put anything that I think that may be important to remember-bullet points, lists, major points on each page. My reasoning behind this is that these are timed exams. It will make the index longer, but it's worth it. You can spend a lot of time looking through multiple books about a subject, or you can have it in your index-one book to look through. Usually, anything that I needed to find was in my index.
I would label different types of firewalls, for example, "Firewall, Stateful Inspection", "Firewall, Proxy". The reason being is that so if I needed to compare different types of firewalls, they were in the same place in the index.
If I had a subject with multiple names, i.e., "IP Address", "Internet Protocol Address", I would add both names. During a test, you will get nervous, and you may not remember exactly which name you put the subject under, so having multiple names for the same subject may help.
If I had any stages, lists, steps... I put those in my index, as well as in a separate section at the end. I put a divider between the index and these pages. If, for some reason, I forgot to print the separate pages, it's still in my index. I had the separate pages with the steps so that I didn't have to look through 50 pages of index to find out the different steps. I also put what happened in each of the steps, so I ddin't have to consult the books to find stuff. I plan on taking other exams. I think that I'll make a separate, alphabetically sorted section for tools, in an exam that covers certain tools, for example. Another one for commands, and common flags. I will put dividers between each of these sections as well.
I do the index before listening to the OnDemand content. While listening to the OnDemand content, I have my spreadsheet open, and my book open to the place in the OnDemand course. That way, if I have any typos, I can see them while looking at the spreadsheet, and correct them. If I missed some information the spreadsheet is open so that I can note it. I do not sort my index until I've watched all of the OnDemand and made sure that there are not typos. That way, my index is in book/module/page order and correcting it is easier.
I sorted my index, alphabetically, by topic. I didn't get the alphabet tabs, but I think that others should. Looking back on my attempt. I think that those would have helped.
I don't hand-write my tabs for the index/books-I have a label template that I have in Word where I can type the labels, and then print them out. I use plastic dividers. (My handwriting isn't the best when I'm in a hurry. I want them to be legible and neat.) I need to find dividers that are for spiral binders. If anyone knows of dividers like these, please send me the info about it in the comments. Mine didn't exactly fit, so they were just barely sitting in there. If the books were dropped, they would have fallen out.
People say to get your index professionally bound. That's personal preference. I simply printed mine double sided, and hole punched and placed them in a binder. I find that flipping through a binder is easier than trying to flip through those spiral bound pages.
It's tempting, not to take your books, if you make the index in this way, however, you will not find all the important stuff. Take the books just in case.
Good luck to anyone attempting any certification exams!

Cybati Blackbox Challenge Solution
This challenge ended in May. This was my submission. Keep in mind that the answers may not be correct. I do not have an ICS background. I read, "The Art of Memory Forensics" to do the part on memory analysis. Most of the other information, I researched on Google.
Cybati Black Box Competition
Mission 1: Identify the Host IP Address and the Default Gateway.
Host IP Address: 172.16.192.50/24, Default Gateway: 172.16.192.1
Mission 2: Identify the number of hosts responding within the Industrial Network.
The hosts responding within the Industrial Network are:
router.cybatiworks.local 172.16.192.1
bottlingplc.cybatiworks.local 172.16.192.2
CybatiWorks-1 172.16.192.10
hmiopc.cybatiworks.local 172.16.192.11
plc.cybatiworks.local 172.16.192.12
relay.cybatiworks.local 172.16.192.13
172.16.192.14
172.16.192.50
172.16.192.127
172.16.192.128
So, the number of hosts responding is 10.
Mission 3: What services are running on the host with the DNS name relay?
The services running on the host with the DNS name relay are:
ftp, http, ssh, zebra
Mission 4: Identify the active connections to the HMI.
The active connections to the HMI are:
172.16.192.12 (PLC)
172.16.192.13 (relay)
Mission 5: What point is associated with the Nozzle?
The point associated with the Nozzle is 1.
Mission 6: Which hosts and Industrial protocol(s) are used for the process?
From what can be seen in the traffic in Wireshark, the hosts that are being used for the process are:
172.16.192.11 (HMI)
172.16.192.12 (PLC)
172.16.192.13 (relay)
From what can be seen in the traffic in Zenmap, one more host is listed:
172.16.192.2 (BottlingPLC)
The industrial protocols that are being used for the process according to Wireshark are CIP (Common Industrial Protocol), DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol 3.0), Ethernet/IP (Ethernet/Industrial Protocol) and Modbus. Modbus is seen in the traffic when the BottlingPLC is attacked.
Mission 7: What Host IP/MAC performed the attack?
The Host IP/MAC that performed the attack was 172.16.192.128/14:9A:10:12:34:56.
Mission 8: What industrial protocol register was attacked?
4001
Mission 9: What source IP address is assigned to a host transiting the Internet? Include firewall rule analysis and packet capture.
The source IP Address that is assigned to a host transiting the Internet is 73.9.9.2.
Mission 10: What IP routing protocols are configured in each section (i.e. Industrial, Corporate, and Internet)?
In the Industrial section, the IP routing protocols are OSPFv2 (Open Shortest Path First version 2), OSPFv3 (Open Shortest Path First version 3), and RIP (Routing Information Protocol).
In the Corporate section, the IP routing protocols are OSPFv2, and OSPFv3.
In the Internet section, the IP routing protocols is BGP (Border Gateway Protocol).
Mission 11: What is the PLC password contained in the RSS file?
The PLC password contained in the PASSWORD.RSS file is 12345678.
Mission 12: What is the PLC password contained in the PLF file?
The PLC password contained in the PEData.plf file is 123.
Mission 13: What malware is contained in the DOCX file?
The engineering_invoice.docx has a VBA callback macro.
Mission 14: What is the executable (.exe) file? How could it be used?
There is an executable file named oswinsck.exe in the /opt/CybatiWorks/smbshare directory of the file system. Utilizing a favorite search engine, searching for the executable yields a definition. “OstroSoft Windsock Component (oswinsck.exe) is a software library providing easy assess to the network layer of an operating system (UDP and TCP sockets) OSWINSCK.dll serves as a wrapper for the Windsock API and helps programmers to abstract from the complexity of API calls and focus on application functionality.” www.ostrosoft.com/oswinsck.aspx
The program was examined with binwalk. The oswinsck.exe program has functionality that would make it dangerous if used in a malicious context. First of all, it can be used with many programming/scripting languages, meaning that using it would be trivial. Secondly, the SETUP.EXE component gives the program AdjustTokenPrivileges and SeShutdown privileges. The SETUP1.EXE component gives it ExtractFileFromCab and AdjustTokenPrivileges. So, it’s self-extracting, meaning that the user doesn’t have to do anything for it to run. It can decide when it wants to shutdown the computer. The shutdown functionality is common with malware. In order to properly install, the computer must usually be shut down, so the program is set to do that so that the malware can more quickly do what it is programmed to do. Some legitimate programs need shutdown privileges, so context should be considered when analyzing a program. The program allows remote connections to sockets, meaning, depending on how this program is used, that these connections may bypass security mechanisms that are put in to place or cause a DOS situation. Searching for some of the strings that are in SETUP1.EXE portion of the program, for example, “f:\sources\vb98\lego.32\VB6.OLB”, shows that SETUP1.EXE has been used in malware. This does not mean that that particular program, SETUP1.EXE, in of itself is malicious. It just means that that program may contain libraries that the malicious part of the program is dependent upon to complete it’s function. It appears as though another component of oswinsck.exe, SETUP.EXE creates registry keys. It may have a legitimate reason for doing so.
Mission 15: Describe findings of the two VMEM files located in the /opt/CybatiWorks/Labs/volatility directory. The files are titled CybatiWorksWindows.vmem
These machines appear to be the same machine. Their IP Address and MAC Address match according to the ethscan and netscan plugins. IP Addresses and MAC Addresses can be spoofed, though. The CybatiWorks Windows1.vmem appears to be infected with a banking trojan called Zusy. The CybatiWorks Windows1.vmem was actually done later than the CybatiWorks Windows2.vmem: about 5 hours apart. The 2nd image may be infected with WisdomEyes, a javascript (js) malware. CybatiWorks Windows1.vmem seems to have symptoms of this malware as well-ie some of the processes detect as being infected with WisdomEyes. There can be false positives, though. It can’t be determined definitively because there was trouble locating information about WisdomEyes. The question is if they are the same image, why would CybatiWorks Windows2.vmem be infected with a js malware, but the same machine image taken 5 hours later not be infected with the js malware? IExplore isn’t hooked in the CybatiWorks Windows1.vmem image. Malfind isn’t always correct about hooks being malware, but the hooks are suspicious.
Some of the mutex entries have what appears to be port numbers, but they are not listed on totalhash or Google. Odd that some of the same mutexes appear on the same machine more than once.
Methodology
Mission 1: Identify the Host IP Address and the Default Gateway
The Host IP Address and the Default Gateway are given in a pop up box when the Blackbox is started.
Mission 2: Identify the number of hosts responding within the Industrial Network.
The Industrial Network is in the IP range 172.16.192.0/24. Zenmap Intense Scan runs a number of scans against the target network to see which hosts respond to the scan. Zenmap lists the hosts and any services that it found to be running as well as creating a map of the network.
Step 3:
Baseline:
router.cybatiworks.local (172.16.192.1) MAC 00:00:0C:DE:12:46
bottlingplc.cybatiworks.local (172.16.192.2) MAC 00:30:A7:13:24:11
CybatiWorks-1 (172.16.192.10) MAC 28:63:36:A1:11:C2
hmiopc.cybatiworks.local (172.16.192.11) MAC 00:0D:56:81:AC:13
plc.cybatiworks.local (172.16.192.12) MAC 00:1D:9C:A1:B2:67
relay.cybatiworks.local (172.16.192.13) MAC 00:30:A7:31:40:11
172.16.192.14 MAC 00:30:A7:21:AE:15
172.16.192.50
172.16.192.127 MAC 14:9A:10:AA:31:11
172.16.192.128 MAC 14:9A:10:12:34:56
Mission 3: What services are running on the host with the DNS name relay?
Zenmap found the name of some of the hosts on the network. Many times, the name denotes what kind of host that it is. The name of the host was relay.cybatiworks.local. The Zenmap GUI has an area with the hosts listed as well as a tabbed interface that has “Hosts” and “Services”. After selected the correct host, relay.cybatiworks.local, one can click on the “Services” tab to see what services that that host is running.
Mission 4: Identify the active connections to the HMI.
Wireshark, and a tap in the correct place in a network, can be used to create a base line of network traffic. In order to get a good base line, the traffic must be captured for a while. It should show most, if not all of the hosts on the network. Hosts don’t have set times when they send or receive traffic, hence the reason that it takes time. After enough traffic has been collected, on the Wireshark menu bar, there is a Statistics option. Once selected, the Statistics option brings up a drop-down menu. On the Conversations menu, different types of active connections are shown. It is a tabbed interface. The IP4 tab shows the IP addresses of the hosts connecting with each other. This one should be carefully analyzed because it is possible for IP Addresses to be spoofed. The Ethernet tab shows the MAC addresses of the machines connecting with each other. This one can be spoofed as well. The active connections to the HMI can be determined by looking at the IP Addresses and MAC addresses of the machines connecting to hmiopc.cybatiworks.local (172.16.192.11).
Mission 5: What is the point associated with the nozzle?
The point associated with the nozzle is 1. The description in Figure 1 shows that PB2 (NC) is associated with 001. NC stands for Nozzle Control. When one watches the process as shown in Step 4, it shows the CybatiWorks Bottle Filling Process Status. There are 4 input statuses: Bottle In Position, Nozzle Status, Motor Status, and Level Hit. On Table 1 of the engineering schematics, it shows the I/O address assignment. For the input, there are four assignments: Start Process PB1 (Point 000), Stop Process PB2 (NC)(Point 001), Limit Switch (position detect)(Point 002), and PhotoEye (Level Detect)(Point 003). The point is in the DNP3 protocol, and the traffic seems to concur with this finding. First, the point is 0. The bottle is moved into place. Once the bottle is in place, the rollers stop moving. Then the point is 1. The nozzle is turned on. The bottle is filled until the PhotoEye detects that the bottle is full. The limit switch is point 2. It has one of two values, yes or no. If the limit has not been reached, it stays no. Once the limit has been reached, it changes to yes. The photo eye is point 3. It has one of two values as well, yes or no. It stays no until it detects that the bottle is full, the value changes to yes. Then the point is switched back to 0 again because the process is starting again-another bottle is being moved into place.
Mission 6: Which hosts/industrial protocols are associated with the process?
The hosts involved with the process according to passive analysis with Wireshark are: 172.16.192.11 (HMI), 172.16.192.12 (PLC), 172.16.192.13 (relay). The connections were found in the Wireshark/Statistics/Conversations menu by clicking on the IPv4 Tab. However, if one actively observes the traffic, using Zenmap, one can see that there is another host involved in the process. 172.16.192.2 (BottlingPLC).
The industrial protocols are CIP, DNP3, and Ethernet/IP. The protocols were found in the Wireshark/Statistics/Protocol hierarchy menu. The Firewall rules show that ModbusTCP is in use as well.
Mission 7: What Host IP/MAC performed the attack?
The Host IP/MAC that performed the attack was 172.16.192.128/14:9A:10:12:34:56. Wireshark was running with the Statistics/Conversations menu open. When the attack was performed, the traffic changed. 172.16.192.2 responded to 172.16.192.128. 172.16.192.2 is the Bottling PLC. 172.16.192.128s relation to the network was unknown until it performed the attack.
Mission 8: What industrial protocol register was attacked?
4001. The attack was to “Stop and Fill”. The process is supposed to wait .7 seconds before moving onto the next bottle. It may manipulate this register into thinking that the timer is not finished yet.
Mission 9: What source IP address is assigned to a host transiting the Internet? Include firewall rule analysis and packet capture.
The source IP Address that is assigned to a host transiting the Internet is 73.9.9.2. The Corporate network is sectioned off from the Internet with a router/Firewall that has NAT (network address translation), or in this case, more specifically PAT (port address translation). What that means is that each of the machines in the Corporate address have their own internal IP Addresses. Those IP Addresses are not Internet routable. In order to make them Internet routable, the router/Firewall puts a publicly routable IP Address on the packets sent from the Corporate Network to the Internet. So, all of the packets leaving the network will have the same Internet routable IP Address. This is shown in the traffic. When the machine, 10.0.11.128 tries to reach a machine on the Internet, 73.9.5.10, on the outbound traffic, internal IP address, 10.0.11.128, is seen, however, on the response from 73.9.5.10, the IP that it is sent to is 73.9.9.2. The Firewall rules seem to concur as well. The Corporate Firewall rules show Eth0 (outside) being configured to 73.9.9.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The inside (eth1) is configured to 10.0.10.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Firewall Policy Analysis
The firewall analyzes packets from the top of the Firewall Rules, down. Whichever rule that the packets encounter that the packet meets the rule’s criteria is the rule that the packet triggers.
Industrial
Rule 0: shows the source is from the Corporate Network to OSPF Multicast. Any service traffic is allowed through from the outside interface, in both directions, at any time.
Rule 1: ModbusTCP(port 502) traffic from the CybatiWorksPI and Bottling Data machines to the Meter_Data machine is allowed on the inside interface in both directions at any time.
Rule 2: FTP and FTP Data traffic (TCP 20, 21) from the Industrial_Network_DHCP is allowed to the ENGINEERING _FTP_SERVER on the inside interface in both directions at any time. This could be any traffic-not necessarily ftp data.
Rule 3: Any Source and Any Destination is allowed to use ICMP in any direction on any interface at any time.
Rule 4: Any Source and Any Destination is allowed to have an established connection or a related connection from the outside interface at any time in both directions.
Rule 5 states to deny traffic from any source, any destination, any service, any interface in both directions. It is after the other rules, meaning that the other rules take precedence. It is good to have a default deny rule for all the traffic that doesn’t fit one of the other rules.
Regarding Rule 0: OSPF routers are a target of attack. If for any reason the router has a vulnerability and hasn’t been patched or replaced, this could be a way into the Industrial network.
Regarding Rule 1: ModbusTCP can’t verify the sender of packets, so the CybatiWorksPI and Bottling Data machines could still be attacked from inside the network by a machine spoofing the MAC/IP of the Meter_Data machine.
Regarding Rule 2: The ENGINEERING _FTP_SERVER is outside of the Industrial network. Since it has an FTP/FTP Data rule with the Industrial_Network_DHCP, it could be used as a means of attack, or a pivot point for an attack against the from the corporate network to the industrial system. As long as the traffic is on port 20 or port 21, it does not have to be ftp traffic to exploit the ftp server.
Regarding Rule 3: Someone could use ICMP messages to enumerate hosts on the network, and then spoof an IP/MAC Addresses to attack. This could potentially cause a DOS situation as well.
Regarding rule 4:
“ESTABLISHED- the packet is associated with a connection which has seen packets in both directions.”
“RELATED- the packet is starting a new connection, but is associated with an existing connection, such as an FTP data transfer, or an ICMP error.”
These could potentially be abused so that the Firewall “thinks” that there was an established or related connection because a incorrectly configured machine in the industrial network accepts an unsolicited connection, or, someone opens a bad e-mail attachment that makes an unauthorized connection from the file that they opened, exploiting a vulnerability in an application.
Regarding Rule 5:
Unfortunately, this default deny rule won’t trigger if Rule 4 is abused.
Corporate
Rule 0: Traffic from OSPF_Multicast to inside the network, any service, on the inside interface in any direction is allowed. Traffic from the CORE_NETWORK to OSPF_Multicast, any service on the inside interface.
Rule 1: Traffic from any source to any destination is allowed so long as it is ICMP service on the inside interface in both directions.
Rule 2: Traffic from any source to any destination is allowed so long as it is https, http (443, 80) traffic on the inside interface in both directions.
Rule 3: Traffic from any source to any destination is allowed so long as it is TCP ssh (port 22) traffic on the inside interface in both directions.
Rule 4: Traffic from any source to any destination is allowed so long as it is TCP/UDP port 53, domain traffic.
Rules 5 and 6 allows traffic from any source to any destination as long as the traffic is part of an established, and related connection from the outside, in either direction. The iptables manual describes those states thusly:
“ESTABLISHED- the packet is associated with a connection which has seen packets in both directions.”
“RELATED- the packet is starting a new connection, but is associated with an existing connection, such as an FTP data transfer, or an ICMP error.”
Rule 7 states to deny traffic from any source, any destination, any service, any interface in both directions. It is after the other rules, meaning that the other rules take precedence. It is good to have a default deny rule for all the traffic that doesn’t fit one of the other rules.
Regarding Rule 0: OSPF routers are a target of attack. If for any reason the router has a vulnerability and hasn’t been patched or replaced, this could be a way into the Corporate network.
Regarding Rule 1: Allowing ICMP traffic from any source to any destination even on the inside interface isn’t a good idea because it still opens up the potential for a DOS and enumerating hosts within the network.
Regarding Rule 2: As long as the traffic fits TCP on ports 443, and 80, then this could be any traffic. Attackers would prefer to use these ports as a means of reconnaissance, scanning, or attack so that their attempts can blend in with the normal day to day operations.
Regarding Rule 3: As long as the traffic fits TCP on port 22, it can be any traffic.
Regarding Rule 4: As long as the traffic fits the port 53 TCP/UDP, it can be any traffic. It doesn’t have to be DNS. Also, data can be exfiltrated using DNS traffic. Example: DNScat.
Regarding Rules 5 and 6: These could potentially be abused so that the Firewall “thinks” that there was an established or related connection because a incorrectly configured machine in the corporate network accepts an unsolicited connection, or, someone opens a bad e-mail attachment that makes an unauthorized connection from the file that they opened exploiting a vulnerability in an application. ipv6 has been subject to some interesting attacks, including the ability to exfiltrate data using ipv4 tunneling. ipv6 can also be used to enumerate hosts on the network using ipv6 router advertisements and ipv6 neighbor discovery.
Mission 10: What IP routing protocols are configured in each section (Industrial, Corporate, Internet)?
According to the Firewall settings:
In the Industrial section, the IP routing protocol that is configured is: OSPF (Open Shortest Path First.)
In the Corporate section, the IP routing protocol that is configured is: OSPF (Open Shortest Path First.)
According to the configurations of the Blackbox environment:
In the Blackbox environment, right click on the node that is of interest, and select the services menu to see what services are currently running in the node. The nodes of interest are n6 (the Industrial Firewall), n8 (the corporate firewall) and n9 (one of the routers to traverse the Internet).
In the Industrial section, the IP routing protocols are: zebra, OSPFv2 (Open Shortest Path First version 2), OSPFv3 (Open Shortest Path First version 3), and RIP (Routing Information Protocol).
In the Corporate section, the IP routing protocols are: zebra, OSPFv2 (Open Shortest Path First version 2), and OSPFv3 (Open Shortest Path First version 3).
In the Internet portion, the IP routing protocols are: zebra (a suite of TCP/IP routing protocols), and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol).
Mission 11: What is the PLC password contained in the RSS file?
The PLC password contained in the RSS file is 12345678. The PASSWORD.RSS file was found in /Home/Desktop/CYBATI_LABS/Labs/passwords/PASSWORD.RSS file. It was also stored in /opt/CybatiWorks/smbshare. Using grep -i password capture.pcapng on the packet capture yields a match for this file as well. A tool can binwalk was used to analyze the RSS file. Binwalk found and extracted files. Using the grep -i “password” ./* command, the directory containing the extracted binwalk files was searched until the word password was found.
Mission 12: What is the PLC password contained in the PLF file?
The PEData.plf file was found in /Home/Desktop/CYBATI_LABS/Labs/passwords. There is more than one password hash contained in the file. The most current password hash corresponds to the password 123. There was a tool in the /Home/Desktop/CYBATI_LABS/Labs/passwords folder that was used to analyze the PEData.plf file called s7_password_hashes_extractor.py. A PEData.plf file is a project file for the Siemens PLC.
Mission 13: What malware is contained in the DOCX file?
The engineering_invoice.docx has a VBA callback macro. A tool called binwalk was used to analyze the document. The document can be taken apart, much like an archive, because of the format that is used in this type of document. If one uses binwalk, on a Linux machine, the separate files stored in the archive-like format can be seen and manipulated. At the top of the directory structure in the document, there are three folders, docProps, _rels, and word. Using the Linux Terminal, if one navigates to the "word" folder, one can see that there is a document.xml file. The strings command shows the strings that are in the file. One of the strings states, “This is a Cybatiworks engineering manipulated document with a VBA callback macro.” The engineering_invoice.docx has a jpeg image in it. JPEG format is well known for being used to hide documents, either in the image itself, by taking the last 3 bits of each pixel and overwriting them with data-which doesn’t change the view of the picture because those fields are not discernible by the human eye. The JPEG format is also well-known for having EXIF data. A file may be hidden in there as well. A less known way to hide a document in a JPEG is to use the ICC_Profile so that when the image is parsed by vulnerable software, seemingly random strings are passed, which tell the program to use privileged commands to download a file. The executable could be self-extracting, meaning that it could start installing before anyone would notice it. There are random strings in the engineering_invoice.docx file that may be used as described.
Mission 14: What is the executable (.exe) file? How could it be used?
There is an executable file named oswinsck.exe in the /opt/CybatiWorks/smbshare directory of the file system. Utilizing a favorite search engine, searching for the executable yields a definition. “OstroSoft Windsock Component (oswinsck.exe) is a software library providing easy assess to the network layer of an operating system (UDP and TCP sockets) OSWINSCK.dll serves as a wrapper for the Windsock API and helps programmers to abstract from the complexity of API calls and focus on application functionality.” www.ostrosoft.com/oswinsck.aspx
The program was examined with binwalk. The oswinsck.exe program has functionality that would make it dangerous if used in a malicious context. First of all, it can be used with many programming/scripting languages, meaning that using it would be trivial. Secondly, the SETUP.EXE component gives the program AdjustTokenPrivileges and SeShutdown privileges. The SETUP1.EXE component gives it ExtractFileFromCab and AdjustTokenPrivileges. So, it’s self-extracting, meaning that the user doesn’t have to do anything for it to run. It can decide when it wants to shutdown the computer. The shutdown functionality is common with malware. In order to properly install, the computer must usually be shut down, so the program is set to do that so that the malware can more quickly do what it is programmed to do. Some legitimate programs need shutdown privileges, so context should be considered when analyzing a program. The program allows remote connections to sockets, meaning, depending on how this program is used, that these connections may bypass security mechanisms that are put in to place or cause a DOS situation. Searching for some of the strings that are in SETUP1.EXE portion of the program, for example, “f:\sources\vb98\lego.32\VB6.OLB”, shows that SETUP1.EXE has been used in malware. This does not mean that that particular program, SETUP1.EXE, in of itself is malicious. It just means that that program may contain libraries that the malicious part of the program is dependent upon to complete it’s function. It appears as though another component of oswinsck.exe, SETUP.EXE creates registry keys. It may have a legitimate reason for doing so.
Mission 15: Describe findings of the two VMEM files located in the /opt/CybatiWorks/Labs/volatility directory. The files are titled CybatiWorks Windows1.vmem and CybatiWorks Windows2.vmem.
These machines appear to be the same machine. Their IP Address and MAC Address match according to the ethscan and netscan plugins. IP Addresses and MAC Addresses can be spoofed, though. The CybatiWorks Windows1.vmem appears to be infected with a banking trojan called Zusy. The CybatiWorks Windows1.vmem was actually done later than the CybatiWorks Windows2.vmem: about 5 hours apart. The 2nd image may be infected with WisdomEyes, a javascript (js) malware. CybatiWorks Windows1.vmem seems to have symptoms of this malware as well-ie some of the processes detect as being infected with WisdomEyes. There can be false positives, though. It can’t be determined definitively because there was trouble locating information about WisdomEyes. The question is if they are the same image, why would CybatiWorks Windows2.vmem be infected with a js malware, but the same machine image taken 5 hours later not be infected with the js malware? IExplore isn’t hooked in the CybatiWorks Windows1.vmem image. Malfind isn’t always correct about hooks being malware, but the hooks are suspicious.
Some of the mutex entries have what appears to be port numbers, but they are not listed on totalhash or Google. Odd that some of the same mutexes appear on the same machine more than once.

Atoms:
Unprintable Charaters: Sometimes malware writers use atoms to prove that the malware is installed so that it doesn’t reinfect the machine. They do the same with mutants. Many malware writers are unaware that atoms can be found when the memory image is studied, so atoms can be used as an indicator of compromise, much like a mutant can.

DeskScan:
Noticed notepad.exe running under the parent PID 1448. Tried using Volatility’s plugin to read the notepad. It states that that plugin can’t be used on this profile. Many of the suspicious processes found in malfind are running under the parent PID 1448. Dumping the files of parent PID 1448, and uploading it to virus total shows that it potentially contains more than one threat. Notepad.exe is commonly used as a default cover for a malicious file by Metasploit.

Dumping the executable and examining the executable with the strings -a command in Linux yields a string of a known way to hide malware; specifically, “C:\local0\asf\release\build-2.2.14\support\Release\ab.pdb”. This information was found in a 2013 Holiday Hack Challenge write-up: https://blogs.sans.org/pen-testing/files/2014/01/SANS-Holiday-Challenge-2013-Report.pdf.
When the dumped executable file, ControlFLASH.exe, is posted to VirusTotal, it indicates that the file may be, Zusy, a banking trojan. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/934c90a8e9636aa253f8587256a57861a2b79bb251186993de8aedd85894a71f/analysis/
The processes 608, 656, 944, 1864, 3068, 4184, 5252 had one hit for a potential infection on virustotal.com. It was for a trojan called WisdomEyes. There can be false positives, though. Also, malware tends to be given different names by different antivirus vendors, so there may be many names for the same malware.
Process 5252 also showed on virus total in a couple of heuristic scanners and as a worm.
Process 4184 also shows up on Heuristic scanners.

172.16.167.1 This IP was found in DHCP Traffic-Domain Name Server
172.16.167.254 This IP was found in DHCP Traffic-DHCP Server
In NetScan, There are suspicious looking listeners set up on ports 138,139, 445, 3389, which means that the malicious process could be taking advantage of SMB over IP and Remote Desktop Protocol. It has listeners set up with the login process lsass.exe as well, which means that someone could log into the machine. The local IP Address is different depending on which connection it’s using, which indicates possible IP Address Spoofing. The IP Addresses were 0.0.0.0, 172.16.1.10, and 172.16.167.130. 0.0.0.0 in the netscan plugin means that it’s listening on all IP Addresses. Postgres.exe was on the machine as well, indicating potential use of Metasploit/Meterpreter. Postgres.exe is also used in some antivirus software. Could this machine be a pivot point that is used to exploit other machines? There was a process with an extremely high process ID, which indicates a potential infection because process IDs don’t usually go that high. The name of the high PID process did not display properly.
In EthScan- there was a lot of UDP traffic that appeared to be a P2P C&C. It was speculated that it may be base64 encoded, however decoding it didn’t make it make sense. 172.16.1.30 (Rockwell Automation) is communicating wth 172.16.1.10 (VMWare) over port 44818 which is the Ethernet/IP port.

Threads:
There was one orphan thread. Sometimes they can indicate malware. Volshell was used to try and see if there was an executable file near that address in memory, because the pointers in the threads plugin don’t always start at the base address. The base address is needed to export the file using moddump. The file was then exported using moddump. One scanner on VirusTotal has flagged this .sys file as potentially being malware.

Originally, the output was sent to a file by doing this: vol.py —profile=Win7SP0x86 -f “CybatiWorks Windows 7-7240278-1.vmem” verinfo > Win1VerInfo. The characters in the text editor that the file was opened with were in a different character set. Then the verinfo was sent to the terminal, and it output in the language on the local machine.

There are unprintable characters in the above atom listings- usually atoms have printable names. Sometimes malware authors do this not realizing that those artifacts can be recovered from memory analysis.
Callbacks:
No unknown callbacks. If there is a rootkit, it’s finding a different method to hide.
CmdScan:
The following appears to exfiltrate information about a machine as well as potentially operate as part of a C&C line of machines. Looks like the old C&C model has changed from one that was a single, or few C&C servers, to having more than one fail safe point-ie infected machines talking to each other as peers. If one goes down, they’ll have another to take it’s place and to send directions to other machines. The hypothesis about the Base64 encoding in the other memory image’s UDP traffic may have been correct, given in the powershell script below, it converts the code to a Base64 String. It appears as though it compresses the data and ascii encodes it before the Base64 encoding.

DLLList:
The output of the following command looks strange. It is possible to have a mismatch between the ASCII using Windows API and unicode, meaning that it leaves it vulnerable to attack because it doesn’t know how to interpret unicode. It is not known if that is the case here. It may be a query in Powershell. ? is used in Powershell for the Where cmdlet. (This may be serendipity, but if one base64 decodes émd, to Windows-1252, it decodes to ™)

Handles:
It looks like process 3708 is storing pictures under a registry key. When the process is examined using, vol.py —profile=Win7SP0x86 -f “CybatiWorks Windows 7-72420278-2.vmem” handles —object-type=Key -p 3708, the registry key: \MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\ can be seen. The subkeys are MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\.PNG and MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\.JPG. When all the registry keys are printed, the registry entry shows up as [no name]. [no name] can be referring to an application registry keys. When this particular key is printed using the physical offset of the key, by vol.py —profile=Win7SP0x86 -f “CybatiWorks Windows 7-72420278-2.vmem” printkey -o 0xa0f79420, then it is shown as [no name] with a key that has some unprintable characters, with an update of 1970-01-01. An epoch date on any machine is very unusual. Depending on the tools that one uses, sometimes, the tool can interpret unknown dates in strange ways. This could just mean that it doesn’t know the date for some reason.

Processes 624 and 3708 have connections via the Auxiliary Function Driver for Winsock. Using, vol.py —profile=Win7SP0x86 -f “CybatiWorks Windows 7-72420278-2.vmem” handles —object-type=File -p 3708, it shows the \Device\Afd\Endpoint handle. When looking at the 3708 process using netscan, one can see that it uses port 65237 for the connection. Doing the same for 624, one can see that the port is 61498. It’s odd because they use the link local network address. Why is the machine talking to itself?

30.1.16.172 This IP was found in Link Local Multicast Traffic-This is the same IP as 172.16.1.30 backwards, which indicates Little Endian.
The local IP Address is different depending on which connection it’s using, which indicates possible IP Address Spoofing. The IP Addresses were 0.0.0.0, 172.16.1.10, and 172.16.167.130. 0.0.0.0 in the netscan plugin means that it’s listening on all IP Addresses. Postgres.exe was on the machine as well, indicating potential use of Metasploit. Postgres.exe is also used in some antivirus software. Could this machine be a pivot point that is used to exploit other machines? There was a process with an extremely high process ID, which indicates a potential infection.
The 172.16.1.10 IP Address has an established connection with 172.16.1.30 on the Ethernet/IP port over port 44818.

When the consoles volatility was used, and powershell was used to create a script, and postgres was running with a lot of listeners, it was thought that maybe metasploit should be searched for.
Not sure if it has anything to do with the malware, but this was found in unallocated memory. Usually Antivirus Scanners skip this region.
