  2. Summary Background ICTF and EC2 Create AMI Manage AMI Cloud Networking ICTF EC2 Network Layout Problems Future Work

  3. Background ICTF and EC2 • ICTF • International Capture the Flag (ICTF) is a hacking competition held yearly in December • UCCS has been participating in ICTF since 2006 • EC2 • Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web service that provides compute capacity in a cloud. • Allow the creation of an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) which is essentially an OS image that can be uploaded and ran within Amazons EC2.

  4. Background Cont. • ICTF EC2 • Is an attempt to mimic the ICTF network from within Amazons EC2 • Goals • Allow students to have hands on experience in an ICTF environment before the competition • Allow for experimentation on attack and defense

  5. Create AMI • Amazon EC2 account • AWS Access Key Identifiers • x.509 certificate • AMI-Tools are needed to create an Linux/Windows AMI • Existing AMI’s can also be used • Amazon Web Service (AWS) Management Console • Elasticfox (Firefox plugin)

  6. Manage AMI • AMI cannot be shutdown only terminated and rebooted • AMI-Tools can be used to manage AMI • GUI Managers are also available: • ElasticFox • AWS Management Console AWS Management Console ElasticFox

  7. Cloud Networking

  8. ICTF EC2 Network Layout

  9. Problems • Cloud Security • Cannot run certain attacks (DoS and DDos) from within the cloud • Cost $$$ • IP’s can take up to 24 hours to trickle there way through the internet (Can be solved with Elastic IP) • Can get kicked out of cloud • Would require new account and rebuilding of ICTF images

  10. Future Work • Automate deployment and shutdown of the ICTF Cloud Network • Create an intelligent network intrusion detection system (NIDS) • Experiment with network security solutions such as: • Protocol Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS ) • Host-Based Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS) • Honeypots • Tarpits

  11. Questions

  12. Connecting to AIM

  13. Snort and WireShark
