I will give a talk on network forensics at my local ISSA chapter.
I’m preparing it with a couple of PoCs.
First PoC is how changing the canary value 0xFD0110DF to another value can provide defense against exploits like FX explained in this paper. I changed the appropriate instructions so that IOS uses canary value OxFC0220CF. You can see it at the bottom of this memory dump:
Second PoC is how I can change the behavior of an IOS command for offensive purposes. Topo mentioned this idea at Black Hat. The verify command checks the embedded MD5 signature in an IOS image. I patched the appropriate instructions so that the verify command always reports a valid signature, regardless of the actual embedded value:
I did not change CCO hash. This is the MD5 hash of the complete IOS image. I did not change this on purpose, but it would be as easy as changing the embedded hash. If you lookup this CCO hash with Cisco, you will not find it.
Nice Articles…..!!! keep it up..!
