Summary

TLDRIn this presentation, Simon, a member of the CCDC Red Team, explores the concept of raw sockets and their relevance in cybersecurity, particularly from a red teaming perspective. He explains the fundamental differences between normal and raw sockets, emphasizing the additional control and complexity raw sockets offer. While they can bypass host-based firewalls, Simon also highlights the challenges of development and testing. He provides insights into blue team strategies for detecting raw socket activity using network tools like `ss` and `lsof`, stressing the importance of robust network defenses against these tactics.

Takeaways

  • 😀 Raw sockets are increasingly popular in the red team space, but blue teams need to understand them to defend against their use.
  • 😀 A socket provides an abstraction layer for sending and receiving data between programs, either on the same machine or over a network.
  • 😀 Normal sockets abstract networking details, while raw sockets require the programmer to manually handle all aspects of packet construction and processing.
  • 😀 Using raw sockets allows bypassing host-based firewalls, making them a valuable tool for red team operations.
  • 😀 Raw sockets offer the flexibility to implement custom protocols and understand networking at a lower level, enhancing educational opportunities.
  • 😀 Debugging raw sockets can be challenging due to the need for correct checksums and packet structure.
  • 😀 Tools like Wireshark can easily identify raw socket traffic, marking it as unknown protocols, which can alert blue teams to potential threats.
  • 😀 Blue teams can enhance their defenses by focusing on network-level security, particularly at the router level, to intercept traffic from raw socket bots.
  • 😀 Command-line tools like `ss` and `lsof` can help blue teams identify and track raw sockets associated with malicious processes.
  • 😀 Understanding raw sockets requires a shift in thinking for blue teams, focusing more on network behavior than just host-based indicators.
