Frequently Asked Questions - Evader MCAFEE

What is McAfee Evader?

Evader is a security testing tool that tests the effectiveness of network security devices (like IPS and firewalls) against advanced evasion techniques. It simulates attacks with various evasions to see if the device detects them.

How do I install Evader?

Evader is distributed as a live DVD. Boot from the DVD to run it temporarily, or use the desktop icon 'Install Evader Live CD' to permanently install it (overwrites hard drive).

What are the system requirements?

A PC (physical or virtual) with e1000 network adapters recommended. Promiscuous mode must be enabled on virtual switches. Two computers are needed: attacker and victim.

How do I configure the attacker computer?

Set the IP address using the command ip addr add 172.16.120.1/25 dev eth0 (example). For permanent installation, edit /etc/network/interfaces and restart networking.

What attacks are available?

Evader supports three attacks: conficker (CVE-2008-4250) against Windows XP, http_phpbb_highlight (CVE-2004-1315) against Linux, and rdp_dos (CVE-2012-0002) against Windows 7.

How do I run a test?

Use the new web interface: run ruby webgui2.rb in the /root/evader directory, then browse to http://localhost:8000. Select an exploit, configure test environment, and click Run.

Can I run manual evasions?

Yes, select 'Manual Evasions' on the Run screen. Expand the evasion tree, choose specific evasions (e.g., TCP PAWS elimination), configure options, and click Execute.

How do I interpret the logs?

Logs show each evasion attempt with details like IP addresses, evasions applied, and success/failure. Error codes: '.' = attack failed, 'A' = ARP failure, 'T' = TCP failure, 'C' = clean call failure.

What is Mongbat?

Mongbat is an automation tool that runs multiple Evader instances in parallel. It can use solo, dual, or random evasion modes. Command: ruby mongbat.rb --mode=random --attack=conficker --victim=172.16.120.20 --iface=eth2 --attacker=172.16.120.30 --workers=4 --time=60

How do I test in a Layer 3 setup?

Select 'Next Generation Firewall Layer 3' in Configure Test Environment. Enter the gateway IP (layer 3 device under test) and ensure the victim is on a different network. The attacker routes through the gateway.

USER MANUAL Evader MCAFEE

Evader allows you to test the effectiveness of security devices in your network environment against advanced evasion techniques.

The following sections are included:

▶ Getting Started With Evader (page 2)
Installing the Evader Test Environment (page 3)
▶ Using the New Evader Web Interface (page 7)
▶ Using the Old Evader Web Interface (page 19)
Evader Command Syntax (page 20)
▶ Mongbat Command Syntax (page 24)
▶ Supported Evasions (page 28)

An evasion is an attempt to disguise attacks in order to avoid detection and blocking by network security systems. Evasions can be applied to normal traffic as well as to attacks. An attack consists of a delivery mechanism (for example, a buffer overflow) and a malicious payload (for example, code that is executed by the victim computer). The attack is considered successful if the delivery mechanism succeeds in gaining access to the victim computer, regardless of whether the security device detects or responds to the attack.

Evasion techniques can be divided into the following categories:

• Defined in a specification and used according to the specification (example: IPFragmentation).
• Defined in a specification but never actually used according to the specification (example: MSRPC BigEndian).
• Defined in a specification for some other component, but not defined for the way it is used in the evasion technique (example: MSRPC NDR Flags).
• Forbidden by a specification, but accepted by the victim system (example: TCP overlap).

The well-known exploits available in Evader are used for evasion testing only.

Installation Environment

The installation environment consists of an attacker computer that runs the Evader software and one or more victim computers. The examples in this document are based on the following example installation. Your installation may vary according to your environment.

Illustration 1.1 Example Installation

1. Attacker computer

• IPv4 Address: 172.16.120.1
• Netmask: 255.255.255.128 (25)
- Attacker source IPv4 address range: 172.16.120.30 - 172.16.120.126

2. Linux victim computer

• IPv4 Address: 172.16.120.21
• Netmask: 255.255.255.128 (25)

The following credentials are used to log in to the Linux operating system on both computers:

• User: root
• Password: password

Installation Files

The attacker software and the victim software are distributed as one live DVD. The attacker software includes the Evader software. The Linux victim software includes the following vulnerable software:

• Apache HTTP Server version 2.0.64
- MySQL 4.1.22
- PHP 4.2.2
- phpBB 2.0.10 (CVE-2004-1315)

System Requirements

The live DVD can be deployed on the PC platform of your choice. It can also be deployed on a virtual platform. Promiscuous mode must be enabled on the virtual switches to get Evader and your security device(s) to work correctly. On virtual platforms, e1000 network adapters are recommended.

Additional Targets

Additional targets can be installed on the victim computer using virtualization (for example, vmware Workstation or Oracle VirtualBox). Virtualization is not part of the live DVD.

If you want use a Windows XP victim computer as the target for testing evasions with the conficker (CVE-2008-4250) attack, you must install the operating system and configure the vulnerable services according to the requirements below:

• Windows XP (en-US) SP2 without patches
• MSRPC Server Service configured to allow unauthenticated MSRPC binds

Example IP addresses for a Windows XP victim computer:

• IPv4 Address: 172.16.120.20
• Netmask: 255.255.255.128 (25)

If you want use a Windows 7 victim computer as the target for testing evasions with the rdp_dos (CVE-2012-0002) attack, you must install the operating system and configure the vulnerable services according to the requirements below:

• Windows 7 (en-US) without the MS12-020 patch installed
• Remote Desktop Services started with Allow Connections From Computers Running Any Version Of Remote Desktop selected. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff404238.aspx for configuration instructions.

Example IP addresses for a Windows 7 victim computer:

• IPv4 Address: 172.16.120.22
• Netmask: 255.255.255.128 (25)

Deploying the Attacker and Victim Machines

These instructions explain how to deploy the live DVD for the attacker and the victim machines.

If you want to run the attacker and the victim machines from a live DVD, you need two copies of the Evader live DVD.

▼ To run the attacker and the victim machines on two separate PCs

1. Insert the live DVD in the DVD drive of the PC.
2. Reboot the PC.

- Make sure that the PC is able to boot from the DVD drive. Change the BIOS settings of the PC if needed. In some PCs, the function key F12 allows you to select a temporary boot device during the BIOS boot.

1. Select the first option on the menu of the live DVD: live - boot the Live system. Xubuntu starts.
2. Start the terminal emulator from the command prompt icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.
3. Run the command sudo su -.
4. Enter the password for the Evader: password.

You have now root access.

The live DVD runs its own operating system on the PC hardware. It does not affect the existing operating system on the PC's hard drive.

Remember that all changes are temporary when you run the Evader from the live DVD. If you want to create a permanent Evader environment, you must install the Evader from the live DVD. The installation overwrites the existing hard drive and its operating system. If you want to install Evader from the live DVD, you can use the desktop icon Install Evader Live CD.

• The default setting is 2.

1. Define the network options for the Evader command as instructed in the table below.

Table 1.1 Network Options for Evader Command

Setting Description
Interface	Enter the name of the interface on the attacker computer from which the attacks originate.
Evader IP range	Enter the IP range of the addresses for the attacks. These addresses must be unique IP addresses from the same subnet as the IP address of the target (victim) computer. In this setup, the Evader IP address range should be 172.16.120.30 - 172.16.120.45Note! The Evader tool implements its own TCP/IP stack. Do not use the attacker computer's IP address as part of the Evader IP address range.
Layer 3 device under test IP	Not needed in this case. Both the attacker and the victim are in the same network.
Target IP	Enter the IP address of the victim. In this setup, the target IP address should be 172.16.120.21

The finished Configure Test Environment screen (step 2 screen) should look like the illustration below.

1. Click Run. The following Evader screen appears.

1. Click Execute to test evasions. The Execute button changes to Stop.

- By default, the Evader runs automatic evasions. This is a good way to start experimenting with evasions.

1. Click Stop when the Evader has run long enough. By default, the Evader runs for 24 hours.

13. Click Log to view logs either during or after the Evader run.

The following error codes are used in the logs. Lower case letters indicate errors while checking whether the target is up (using clean calls). If the clean call fails, the actual attack is not attempted. It is normal to have some errors in the logs even when Evader runs successfully.

Table 1.2 Error Code Explanations

Error Code Explanation
. Attack failed (terminated).
A/a	ARP failed (Ethernet layer problem). A log consisting of only lower case a indicates that there is no connectivity between the attacker computer and the target computer.
T/t	TCP failed (Transport layer problem). A log consisting of only lower case t indicates that no TCP connections were established.
E/e	Early termination (No exploit sent). A large number of E/e indicates that the inspection policy on the security device is too strict and blocks the attempts before the actual attack is sent.
L/I Late termination (Exploit sent).
K/k Killed due to	timeout.
C Clean call failed.

1. After the Evader run, click Download report to download an Evader report.

1. Once the run has been completed, click Log to see the Evader log.

- If you selected "bind shell" as the exploit outcome, the following log entry is displayed: Exploit succeeded! Open shell | Close shell. Clicking Open shell opens a shell to the Linux victim computer.

1. Click Close shell.

18. Click Download traffic capture.

The traffic capture opens in Wireshark. This enables you to study the details of the evasion.

What's Next?

If you want to run single evasions or evasion combinations manually, continue by Running Manual Evasions (page 16).

Running Manual Evasions

The Run screen (step 3) allows you to manually select and run single evasions or evasion combinations.

▼ To run manual evasions

1. Select Manual Evasions.

1. Select an evasion from the tree structure. Make sure that you expand the tree fully so that you can see all options for the evasion.

2. Once you have selected all the evasions that you want to use, click Execute. The Evader will now run your evasions against the Linux victim computer. You can see the results on the right side of the Evader screen.

- You can find more details about the run in the Evader log.

Running Evader in a Layer 3 Setup

If you are testing next generation firewall or if the victim machine is in a different network, you must provide a next step router address for the attacker.

▼ To run Evader in a layer 3 setup

1. Select Configure Test Environment in the Evader web interface.

1. Select Next Generation Firewall Layer 3. The Layer 3 device under test IP field is no longer grayed-out.
2. Enter the IP address of the next step router or the next generation firewall. This IP address has to be in the same network as the attacker host. Now the attacker routes its traffic through this address.
3. Make sure that the Evader IP Range and Layer 3 Device Under Test IP do not overlap. In this example the router has two interfaces:

• The interface facing the attacker has the IP address 172.16.120.126.

- The interface facing the victim has the IP address 172.16.140.1. Enter the IP address of the victim host. Notice that in this case the attacker and the victim are in different networks. In this example the IP address of the victim host is 172.16.140.140.

Note - Remember to change the victim IP address to a correct one at the installation time. Remember to also re-start the victim service after the IP address change.

1. Add the default router information to the victim host so that it knows where to send return packets:

route add default gw 172.16.140.1

1. Test with ping from the attacker host that you have connectivity between the attacker and the victim:

ping 172.16.140.140

Otherwise running the Evader is similar to a layer 2 setup.

Using the Old Evader Web Interface

The old Evader web interface requires a graphical user interface with a web browser, which are not included in the attacker virtual machine.

▼ To use the old Evader web interface

1. Change to the /root/evader directory.
2. Enter the following command: ruby webgui.rb.
3. Open a web browser and browse to http://localhost:8000. The Evader web interface opens.

1. Select the attack Module for testing the evasions.

Note - If you want to test evasions against a Windows XP victim computer with the Conficker module, you must install the operating system and configure the vulnerable services. See the System Requirements (page 3) for more information.

1. Define the module-specific Options according to your environment.
2. Define the network options for the Evader command as instructed below:

Table 1.3 Network Options for Evader Command

Setting Description
Interface	Enter the name of the interface on the attacker computer from which the attacks originate.
Source IP	Enter the source IP address for the attacks. This address must be a unique IP address from the same subnet as the IP address of the attacker computer.Note! The Evader tool implements its own TCP/IP stack. Do not use the attacker computer's IP address as the source IP address.
Destination IP Enter the IP address of the victim computer.
Gateway IP Enter	IP address of the default gateway if needed.

1. Select the evasions to use and configure evasion-specific options.

2. Click Execute. The Evader command is executed and the output is shown in the text box at the bottom of the page.

Evader Command Syntax

Evader can be used directly to test single evasions. Testing single evasions is recommended before beginning automated tests of combined evasions to identify any single evasions that are not detected by the security device. Any successful single evasions can be excluded from automatic testing. To use automatic testing, see Mongbat Command Syntax (page 24).

▼ To give Evader commands

1. (Optional) If you want to use a different keyboard layout than the default (UK), enter the following command to change the keyboard layout: loadkeys

Example loadkeys fi

1. Change to the /root/evader directory.

2. Enter the following command to verify connectivity to the victim computer before testing evasions:

./evader --attack=http_phpbb_highlight --if=eth0
--src_ip=172.16.120.30 --dst_ip=172.16.120.21
--verifydelay=1000 --payload=clean 

1. Enter commands in the following format: ./evader [options].

Example ./evader --attack=http_phbb_highlight --if=eth0
--src_ip=172.16.120.30 --dst_ip=172.16.120.21
--evasion=tcp_overlap,345,old,random --autoclose 

The options for the evader command are explained in the tables below.

Table 1.4 Options for Network Configuration

Option Description
--if=	Interface from which the attacks originate.
--src_ip=(/mask)	The source IP address for the attacks. This address must be a unique IP address from the same subnet as the IP address of the attacker computer. Optionally you can add the netmask in CIDR notation.Note! The Evader tool implements its own TCP/IP stack. Do not use the attacker computer's IP address as the source IP address.
--src_port=	The source port number for the attacks. By default, a random port number is used.
--mac_vendor=First three octets of MAC address. Defaults to DE:AD:01.
--gw=	The IP address of the default gateway if needed.
--dst_ip=	The IP address of the victim computer.
--dst_port=	The port number of a vulnerable service on the victim computer.

Table 1.5 Options for Attack Configuration

Option Description
--attacks | -a Lists the supported attacks.
--info=	Shows detailed information about the specified attack and the options that can be used with the attack.
--attack=	Specifies the attack to use.
--payload=	Selects attack payload. Defaults to the first malicious payload.
--obfuscate Set all obfuscation flags in the attack.
--extra=(*	Specifies additional options that configure the behavior of the attack used with the evasion. Separate multiple options with a comma. The extra exploit options for each attack are listed when you use --info=to display detailed information about the attack.Example: --extra=bindport=4567,obfuscate_enc=true

Table 1.6 Options for Evasion Configuration

Option Description
--evasions | -e	Lists the supported evasion techniques for a specific attack and the evasion-specific options. Not all evasions can be used with all attacks. An attack must be selected using the --attack=option.Example: --attack=conficker --evasions.
--evasion=[,,],,(,)*	Specifies the evasion to use and the evasion-specific options. Separate multiple options with a comma. An attack must be selected using the --attack=option.Stages are different points in the progression of an attack. You can optionally specify that the evasion is only applied during a particular time period in the attack. The supported stages for an attack are listed in the attack description. The stages at which a particular evasion can be applied are listed in the evasion description.

Each evasion has its own set of options that are specific to that evasion. Use the following options to show detailed information about the options for a specific evasion:

--info=<evasion name> 

Each evasion-specific option accepts one of the following three types of values (the evasion description indicates what type of value each option accepts):

- Integer: An integer value. The evasion description indicates the range of valid integers and how to use them with the evasion.

- Probability: Indicates how often the evasion is applied to the traffic. Probability values can be entered in three ways:

• As a percentage. For example, 75%. The evasion is applied with a probability of 75% to each packet, so on average at the end of the attack, 75% of packets will have received the evasion.
• As a number. For example, 3. The evasion is applied to exactly every third packet.
• As a list of iterations each preceded by '#'. For example, #3#6#13. The evasion is applied exactly at the third, sixth and thirteenth iterations.

- Multiple Choice: A specific named option. The evasion description specifies whether single or multiple options can be used with the evasion. The syntax for the option depends on whether single options or multiple options can be used:

• Single Valid: A single named option. Quotes are optional.
• Multiple Valid: A single named option or a list of named options separated with a pipe (1). The entire list of options must be enclosed in quotes to prevent the pipe from being interpreted as part of the Linux shell command.

Table 1.7 Other Options

Option Description
--version | -v Shows the Evader software version.
--cfg_file=<file name>	Reads the configuration from a configuration file.
--autoclose	Automatically close shells without interaction after a successful attack.
--shell_tcp	Opens the shell control channel to a TCP socket instead of standard IO.
--summary | -s Prints a summary before exiting.
--verifydelay=<length of delay>	The length of time (in milliseconds) to wait before verifying the attack result. The default is 100.
--randseed=<string>	Sets the seed to use for random number generation. The random number generator generates random data for the payload of certain attacks.
--force_randseed	Forces a random seed to be used for everything, including source ports.
--record=<file name>	Records all generated traffic in PCAP format to the specified file.
--enable mmap Enables MMAPed raw sockets.

The options for the mongbat command are explained in the table below.

Table 1.13 Mongbat Options

Option Description
--mode=(solo|dual|random)	The mode of attack:Solo mode uses individual evasions with some options.Dual mode combines two evasions from the list of enabled evasions.Random mode uses random evasions from the list of enabled evasions with random options.The default is random.
--attack=	The attack to use. Default: conficker.
--iface=	Interface from which the attacks originate.
--attacker=(/mask)	The starting source IP address for the attacks. This address must be a unique IP address from the same subnet as the IP address of the attacker computer. The first worker uses this address, and any additional workers use the next sequential IP addresses. There must be a sufficient range of free IP addresses to provide a unique IP address for each worker. Optionally you can add the netmask in CIDR notation.Note! The Evader tool implements its own TCP/IP stack. Do not use the attacker computer's IP address as the source IP address.
--victim=	The IP address of the victim computer.
--gw=	The gateway address if the victim is not in the local network. Default: empty.
--time=	The duration of the attack in seconds when random mode is used. The default is 60 seconds.
--workers=	The number of workers to use for the attacks. Each worker is a separate instance of the Evader program. There must be a sufficient range of free IP addresses to provide a unique IP address for each worker.The default is 1 worker.
--use_evasions= (, evasion)*	Use only the specified evasion(s).
--disable_evasions=( evasion ) *	Exclude the specified evasions from testing. Disabling evasions is recommended when dual mode or random mode is used for attacks.Disabling single evasions that are successful against the security device is also recommended.
--check_victim=(true|false)	Check that the victim allows legal traffic without evasions before attacking. Default: true.
--record=	Records the attacks to the specified directory in pcap format.
--min_evasions=	The minimum number of evasions to try in random mode. Default: 1.
--max_evasions=	The maximum number of evasions to try in random mode. A value of 0 means an unlimited number of evasions will be tried. Default: 0.
--index=	The start index and optional stop index for solo and dual mode.
--stop_on_success Stop if an attack is successful.
--payload=	Payload types. Defaults to “shell”. Some payload cannot be checked for success.
--disable_payload_obfuscation Disable	payload obfuscation - use with caution.
--use_stages=Use	stages when available. Defaults to true.
--all_options=	Enable use of all options (dangerous). Defaults to false.
--validator=(,validator)*	Use this ruby code validator to evaluate whether the combination is valid (dangerous).
--randseed=	This sets the base64 randseed to allow for some repeatability.
--passthrough Pass remaining unknown arguments directly to Evader.

Example Mongbat Output

The following example shows the Mongbat output for a 60 second run with one successful attack, 21 clean check failures (indicated by 'C') and 135 failed attack attempts (indicated by '.'). By default, Mongbat first checks that a non-malicious connection to the victim computer works, and then attacks with evasions. A log file is written to mongbat.rb.log in the directory where the Mongbat command is run.
