How we tested HughesNet's service

27.09.10

We used two Dell 1950s (8 core Intel Xeon server running XenServer), one as a host for a Vyatta router and the other clustered to the HP DL580 G5 (16 core Intel Xeon server), along with another non-clustered HP DL585 G5 (16 core AMD server as... Two switches (D-Link) were used, one connected to the satellite (network 2) and one connected to the NFrame network (network 1). For the failover scenario, we used a secondary Vyatta router which used VRRP to switch over to the satellite's router which would then route all the traffic through the satellite to nFrame. Multiple Windows 7 client virtual machines were used to connect to a Windows 2008 Small Business server at NFrame through a Hughes 7700S router (and modem link) using the satellite circuit as a data link.

Predictions For Internet Security Threats

More diverse, automatically generated malware

Today malicious code is written with more variants. The bad guys can now automatically create hundreds of thousands of unique pieces of malware a day, much of which has no unique signature and can bypass old-fashioned signature-based virus detection software. This makes it increasingly important for people to have more than just anti-virus protection on their computer.

More people will buy complete protection

The good news is that reputable security vendors like AVG now provide full Internet security suites with multiple layers of protection. The majority of people that pay for security software now buy the full suite, complete protection solution instead of entry-level solutions. This trend continued through 2009, in spite of tougher economic times, and we expect it to be maintained in 2010.

The bad guys still want your money, identity and/or resources

For many years now most malicious code and web sites have been directly or indirectly about stealing your money, identity, computer resources, or some combination of these. In simple terms the cyber criminals:

Trick you to hand over money to them via social engineering and phishing scams. Yes, people still believe they can help that relative of a despot in Nigeria who needs their help to access squillions of dollars. They believe they’ve won a lottery they never entered. Or they believe that there really is a long lost, hugely wealthy, dead relative they’ve never heard of and that the kind and diligent lawyer will help them to get access to the estate.

Trick you into providing, or steal off of your computer, enough of your personal details so as to build up a dossier of information about you that is sufficient to trick someone else into providing them with money, goods or services. Expect to see even more legitimate-looking and personalised phishing attacks impersonating your bank or other businesses you have accounts with. Once the bad guys have your details they buy online using your credit card details and trick the merchant into providing them with goods or services. They steal online gaming usernames and passwords to gain access to your winnings in your favourite game world.

Make your computer into a part of their botnet. Then they can use your computer resources and Internet bandwidth to send out spam, host poisoned web pages, host downloads of illegal software, movies, music, xxx adult images, child pornography etc.

Cyber criminals in the cloud

To keep ahead of the computer security industry’s efforts to thwart their activities, the “bad guys” have become quite agile. They are using “in the cloud” technologies in far more sophisticated and effective ways than most legitimate businesses. It was recently discovered that Google’s AppEngine had been tapped to act as the master control channel to feed commands to large networks of infected computers in a botnet. (Google shut down the rogue app shortly after being notified of it.) We can expect more of sort of activity in 2010.

Highly transient web threats

In 2010 we will see the cyber criminals continue to improve the speed with which they are able to move their campaigns from domain to domain, server to server. This is partly in response to improved detection and blocking methods deployed in updated security products like AVG LinkScanner® . In recent times we’ve been increasingly seeing the bad guys set up hundreds of thousands of new web sites and pages per day, well in advance of using them for nasty purposes. This enables them over a period of a week or so to gain a good rating in the reputation-based security networks being used by some security vendors. Then the bad guys change their “innocent web pages” and go live with their malicious payloads on those same web pages. In early 2009, AVG researchers reported that 60% of these poisoned web threats were active for less than a day and 75% for less than 30 days. By the time the reputation-based networks and blacklists are flagging these poisonous web sites and pages as bad, the cyber criminals have shut them down and moved them on to another domain or server.

Exploitation of major events, news and gossip

Some of these gangs of thieves have also recently enjoyed success in manipulating the popular online search services. They are clearly now investing more effort in such activities so they can, almost at the drop of a hat get search results at or near the top of the first page of results. Should a celebrity die, an election be fought, some video clip “go viral”, the bad guys quickly exploit the blossoming interest in that topic. The cyber criminals hijack search results into clicks on links to their malicious web pages. This is all a part of the bad guys moving away from “spray and pray” attacks into more premeditated attacks with specific objectives. Expect to see more highly targeted, convincing attacks with custom malware in 2010.

“Web two-point-uh-oh”

But that’s all so “Web 1.0”. What about “social media” and “Web 2.0” — that’s where things are at now. Of course, the bad guys have not failed to notice this either and have been improving their own Web 2.0 skills while checking out the opportunities afforded by “Web two-point-uh-oh”. The Koobface worm has been rattling around Facebook and a worrying number of its users for a while now. Along the way support has been added for MySpace, several other social networking sites and more recently Twitter and LinkedIn. Attacks that impersonate social networking sites or spoof contacts from your “friends” list, are more likely to be clicked on. So the bad guys exploit this trust. This approach seems to have a good return on investment for the financially motivated crooks behind it, and it’s likely we’ll see a great deal more of this kind of thing in 2010.

Emerging nations go online with poor security

The number of computers and number of people connected to the Internet is still growing fast. More and more people in places like China, India, Brazil etc. are going online with improved connection speeds. Unfortunately many of them are using pirated software that can’t be kept up to date with security patches. This makes it easy for the bad guys to target those computers, get control of them and start using them as resources to power their criminal activities. We expect to see a big increase in threats being delivered via emerging countries in 2010.

Global economic crisis impacts security

Although the effects of the current economic downturn are quite unequally distributed, employment in the USA and some parts of Europe and Asia has taken a particularly hard hit. This can have a flow on effect.

Firstly, while there is no good data that I’m aware of to support the following suggestion, it is commonly accepted that violent and property crime rates rise during hard economic times. It’s quite likely that more people will be tempted into becoming cyber criminals, especially as more organised underground channels are opened up.

Secondly, it seems likely that otherwise decent people facing increasingly desperate economic conditions, may be more likely to fall for the quick-money appeal of the Nigerian prince offering 40% of his fortune, or to ignore what in better times would be the obvious telltale signs of the too good to be true “work from home” scams and the like, favoured by so many cyber criminals to effect their money laundering schemes. Or as a form of retribution, those who have lost their jobs will take valuable data with them, or details of how to access company resources, and it ends up in the hands of the cyber criminals.

Business still too complacent

If business IT and security managers have ensured that the workstations and servers the business uses are properly up-to-date and protected, that staff understand the threat landscape and know what to do as they move about with notebooks, then they too can be safe. It just requires constant vigilance and contingency planning. Sadly, events in 2009 showed that many businesses simply weren’t properly protected.

The success of the exploits used to penetrate and establish Conficker into business and enterprise networks early in 2009 was largely because of complacency. The attitude common among certain business IT and security people is we have a firewall to keep out worms and other network vulnerability-based attacks, and content filters to stop employees browsing porn, gaming and other ‘dubious’ sites.

This attitude means many businesses have poor update policies, which leave their networks well out of date on OS and application patches. These weaknesses are the stock-in-trade of the drive-by download exploits commonly used by the cyber criminals.

It also means business is ignoring the fact that the cyber criminals buy professional advertising served by legitimate ad-serving networks, and yes, even the biggest ad networks. These ads then appear on perfectly legitimate websites that employees are quite likely to access to do their work. So we can expect to see more business damaged as the bad guys expand the use of this attack vector.

It will get worse before it gets better

Sadly, the security threats in 2010 are likely to be nastier than ever, more targeted and more frequent. With malware and cybercrime now being almost exclusively driven by organised crime running on a business model, changes are largely driven by criminal cost/benefit analysis of opportunities and risks.

The good news is that people don’t need to worry if they understand the nature and purpose of the threats, can see through the scams and the “too good to be true” offers, have good Internet security protection on their computers and keep all of their software up-to-date.

Do you measure up for a safe 2010?

A Bird’s-Eye Look at Cloud Computing offerings

Buzzword or not, Cloud Computing has been the subject of many discussions in the current IT industry that struggle to reduce costs. Vendors have been working tightly with their partners in a race to find out who gets first to the market and with the winning platform.

Service Providers are hopeful that organisations will start transferring their workloads to the public cloud and even Telecom operators are embracing the optimized datacenter hosting solutions, and are creating new arms and divisions to compete in this new segment. Other market engagements such as the VCE coalition reinforces how important and lucrative this market is.

The Australian market is relatively small; however Australia is the most virtualised country in the world, per capita, according to Paul Maritz, VMware CEO, during his keynote for the vForum’08 and reinforced by Dr. Steve Herrod, VMware CTO, during vForum’09.

This large adoption has ignited the local competition and as I write this article I am aware of at least 4 different organisations working towards some sort of Cloud Computing offering.

Despite all discussions and controversy of what exactly Cloud Computing is; self-nominated Cloud Computing providers started to offload to the market their offerings. For the purpose of this article I have decided to use IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) as the nomenclature moving forwards as it provides better clarification of what is being offered and compared.

For the last week or so I have tested two IaaS offerings: Melbourne IT (beta) and Rejila. Both providers offered me with free evaluation period. Despite both providers run their IaaS in a VMware platform they have a complete different set of features, configurations and tools available.

IaaS or Utility Computing

Rejila uses a combination of VMware, Cisco HA network with multiple upstream, and has developed their own set of tools to integrate with vCenter. Yet, according to Rejila they are working with VMware in terms of their APIs and the vCloud program. Their DC is located in Sydney Global Switch with a DR facility in Melbourne. Update/Correction : Rejila’s parent company is established managed host UltraServe, and their 2nd facility is in Brisbane.

I was not able to get any information from Melbourne IT so I can only say that they also use VMware and are making use of the new vCloud Express API’s.

Templates and Provisioning

Both services require the creation of a VDC (Virtual DataCenter) and in the Melbourne IT platform an additional vAPP container creation is compulsory. Only then a virtual server can be created.

The first noticeable difference is the number of templates provided for creation of virtual servers, however while Melbourne IT provides a pre-defined set of templates with single CPU and up to 4GB RAM, Rejila allows you to customise your server. The Rejila offering currently allows you to customise servers with up to 8 GB RAM and 4 CPUs.

Rejila

MelbourneIT

For Rejila, during the provisioning I was able to select the following options: number of valid Internet IP’s (6, 14 or 62), domain name, CPUs, RAM, reverse DNS and the Administrator password. Additionally a full subnet with 254 internal addresses was assigned to the virtual datacenter.

Rejila also provided me with 4 different server configuration options: LB, WEB, SQL, APP and the administrator is able to select the zone where the server is hosted: internal or external.

The provisioning process provided by Melbourne IT is simplistic and the external and internal IP addresses are automatically assigned to the VM. The Administrator password is not configurable at the provisioning time creating a possible breach of security but it is also possible to select the zone where the server is hosted: internal or external.

One thing that really bothered me on both services was the lack of information and/or configuration on the number of disks, sizes, CPU GHz and number of NICs.

The videos below demonstrate the login process, the creation of a VDC, vAPP and the provision a VM on both providers.

Melbourne IT

Virtual Servers

After the provisioning process I was able to connect to the virtual servers.

Both CPU were using the Intel Nehalem 5520 but there was a tiny little difference that I actually had to research at Intel website. Melbourne IT uses processors (E) with memory specification DDR3 1066/800 and Rejila uses (L) DDR3-800/1066. http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=40201,40200 ,

Both providers use standard OS implementation, however despite there is not much to say about OSs some facts caught my eyes on both providers.

Rejila The Windows 2003 32b server provisioned by Rejila was not R2. Unless there is a compatibility concern I don’t see a reason not to deploy the R2 version. I could not identify a method to access the console for my virtual server and RDP was enabled by default. This could potentially be a security breach for some organisations, especially if the server has an external interface. Windows setup files were missing and I was not to install additional components. The template deployed already had some application and utilities installed such as JAVA and Windows Search 4. These applications would have to be removed if the intention is to streamline the OS. CDROM was connected to VMware ISO Melbourne IT The template is deployed with a default Administrator password. Windows Update Manager downloaded, installed, updated and rebooted the server without my request or authorisation. This action would eventually cause an outage to the server and applications.

Just as observation, none of the providers is offering Antivirus as part of the solution. I suppose they are both currently investigating options to utilise the VMware vSafe APIs but so far nothing has been published.

Both Rejila and Melbourne IT have outstanding bits and pieces to be solved; however when the subject is security the story changes.

Security

When performing IP scan (ICMP) on B Class subnet range I was able to expose some security concerns on Melbourne IT IaaS implementation. Whilst for Rejila the IP scanner did not detect any devices alive on the subnet, for Melbourne IT several devices and servers alive were discovered.

Rejila has done a superior job allocating a full C Class subnet to any given virtual datacenter and protecting them from other customer’s VDCs. Unfortunately this does not mean that VMs at Rejila are more protected than at Melbourne IT, however they are less exposed.

The objective of this article is not the security of the environment, so no additional method was carried out to determine additional potential security breaches.

Bandwidth

In the next step of the test I investigated the internet bandwidth provided to each virtual machine. During the configuration process none of the providers give details of how bandwidth is allocated and charged so I assume it is somehow capped and monitored. How about charged? Will I get a surprise at the end of the month?

For my surprise Rejila is blocking the use of Verizon Speed Test so I had to find an alternative speed test.

The test was executed on a week day at 10PM using speedtest.net as the results are:

Melbourne IT – Down 12.49Mb/s Up 33.51Mb/s

It is nice to see that providers are interested in the opinion and ideas of the community. After my blog post I was contacted by both MelbourneIT and Rejila.

I have also been reading the vCLoud APIs Specification Guide and I realised that the APIs do not present service providers with full vCenter capabilities and I will also talk about it in my next post.
