Overview:
Commonly used services, such as NetBIOS Name Server can be used to flood
hosts with UDP data, sending spoofed name requests.
Details:
Sending a Netbios Name Request to a broadcast address on an insecure
network (for 'insecure' I mean a network that does not filter packets
directed to its broadcast address from outside) makes all Windows machines
with NetBIOS enabled and Unix machines running Samba reply to it.
A malicious user could exploit this problem to send spoofed requests to a
list of broadcast addresses in order to flood a victim host with UDP data.
Papasmurf, Fraggle and a lot of other programs do this, but the difference
is that the number of machines replying to this query is way bigger,
because Windows 9x machines do not reply to ICMP echo packets directed the
broadcast address (the way smurf works) and to UDP echo requests. Also,
the size of the outgoing packet, including IP and UDP headers, is 78
bytes, but the answer size, according to my tests, can range from 80 to
280 bytes, so if 5-6 machines reply to it, about 1000 bytes of data are
generated, which means that the original request is amplified 13x. This is
nothing new, but the problem applies to a lot of networks that weren't
supposed to be vulnerable to 'flood amplification': I ran a test on the
whole vulnerable network list taken from http://www.netscan.org, about
32800 IPs, and I noticed that many of the IPs in the bottom part of the
list reply with more than 2000 bytes to the NetBIOS Name Request query,
which is about a 25x amplifcation, and a total of 2500 networks reply with
at least 300 bytes (~ 4x).
The packet to send is a simple UDP on port 137, contaning this payload
(which is the Netbios Name Request):
(hex dump)
6836 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 2043 4B41 4141 4141 4141 4141
4141 4141 4141 4141 4141 4141 4141 4141 4141 4141 4100 0021
0001
Below there is a very simple (and badly coded) scanner to test your
network, which works over Ethernet or PPP connections, using libpcap. It
just monitors UDP data on port 137, so make sure you don't have other
NetBIOS traffic on your network while running the scanner (or it will
display wrong response sizes)
