Protect your Organizations against Online Attacks

To get protection against online attacks and vulnerabilities online merchants must have SSL (secure socket layer) security, which is in interest of business and customers. Different types of attackers (serious hackers, computer beginners, or dissatisfied current or former employee) could induce a possible threat into organization’s information security. Many attackers take advantage of poor policy and procedure related to information security. Today with the help of internet, anyone can find the information regarding how to manipulate the system by exploiting security weakness on your online business. Attackers may also break security by applying automated tools to look into network systems, and exploits any known security weaknesses to get illegal access to the network.

Attacks and Threat Trend: Symantec has published “Threat Trend report 2013” in which some shocking facts have come out which is worth thinking for online industries. The facts are as below:

• The average number of malicious website-blocked ratio is increased by 30% in 2012. There were 247,350 websites were in the list of blocked website in 2012 compared to 190370 websites in second half of 2011.
• The number of malicious blocks ratio was 37% higher than its annual average.
• The most exploited website categories and (percentage) of infected website are as below.

• There are 7.7% websites were malicious was assorted in blogging category.
• 43% compromised religion websites were infected with fraud antivirus attacks.
• 28% compromised business sites were infected with fake antivirus attack.

What is Online Attack: Attack is a term where attacker plays role of a genuine verifier and changes the authentication channel to access the network authentication. There are different types of network attacks, which can bring disasters in network system.

We would like to share the latest security attacks and steps to protect your online business from such attacks.

Backdoor Attack:

Back door also called trap door. It is a part of program code, which is written into application without the awareness of the users and the administrator. It allows fast access to programmers to make easy debugging or monitoring the program. Backdoors typically allow programmers to make use of the software or hardware with the most important rights such as root or administrator. When programmer neglects to remove backdoor after debugging then, a backdoor becomes a serious trouble. Backdoors work mutely in the background and are tough to find out.

Steps against Backdoor: There are some tips to save your system against backdoor attacks.

• You can run antivirus to close the backdoor attacks.
• Turn your firewall protection to get alert of any backdoor attack.
• Regular checks the entire program integrity.
• Make rigorous control process and system development.

Brute Force:

Brute Force attack is used against encrypted data then using software to crack the code and gain right to use of USER ID and password. With user ID attacker gains access of privileges and can generate a backdoor for future approach. Brute-force attack includes tries multiple key combination to discover the right password that will unlock the encryption. The higher the encryption is the longer it will take time.

Steps against Backdoor: There are some tips to save your system against backdoor attacks.

• Use strong encryption technology and effectual key management technology to protect User ID, password.
• Periodically change your password
• Run penetration testing to discover vulnerability.
• Give enough education to customers and employees on security precautions.

Denial of Service(DOS):

Denial of Service is a disrupting attack which do not target network access but disturb the network traffic flow by injecting more information on the server than it can control. This kind of attack can be generated at single or multiple sources. Dos attack makes web resources unavailable for common users by flooding the URL with numerous requests.

Steps against DOS: Some tips which can help you to prevent DOS attack and save your system.

• Tell Internet service provider to arrange traffic from authorized sources only.
• Arrange sufficient backup and recovery arrangements.
• Perform penetration testing for assessing the network ability.

In recent time, DDOS attack brings down the internet speed with enormous unnecessary request flaws or dummy traffic. DDOS attack was targeted at Spamhaus, a spam filter company that maintains filters email spammers. The DNS requests used in this attack was 300Gbps.

Hijacking Attack:

It is a network security attack that allows attacker to take control of an established connection during its running process. Hijacking attacks generally happen on a remote computer like personal computer. The attacker intercepts the message in a public key exchange and replaces his own public key for the requested message. Therefore, two original parties will appear for communication with each other like server to the client and the client to the server. Thus, attacker seems to be legitimate connection can interpret the message during the transmission.

Steps against Hijacking: Below are steps that can be put into practice for the system to save from hijacking.

• Apply strong authentication methods like implementation of SSL security for sending sensitive data.
• Apply firewall setting wherever it fits.
• Monitor network traffic and use scanning tools.
• Implement enough network security.
• Get more.

Sniffers Attack:

Sniffer attack catches network packets it is also called network protocol analyzers that is also applied by hackers for hacking network. Hackers can capture network traffic if it is not encrypted. Once the packet is taken over then attacker can read the message of that particular packet. The message contains passwords, account information, or other confidential information, etc.

Steps against Sniffers: Below are steps that can be placed into practice for the system to save from sniffer attack.

• Apply strong SSL security for sensitive sessions.
• Regularly monitor network traffic and use scanning tools.
• Apply enough network security.
• Provide guidance to customers and employees about security precautions.

Spoofing Attack:

Spoofing attack means to do trick or betray network system. Spoofing allow attackers to hide their identity or communicate with a fake identity which pretend to be a legal identity. Therefore, network recognizes the unauthorized network as an authorized network. Attacker can easily gain access the sensitive data. Spoofing can be done through email spoofing, IP spoofing, fake identity.

Steps against Spoofing: Spoofing is a simple way to make others victim by making a fake username. To prevent from it user can take following steps.

• Apply firewall setting wherever it fits.
• Apply strong SSL security for sensitive sessions.
• Regularly monitor network traffic and use scanning tools.

Man in the Middle Attack:

Man in the middle (MITM) attack also refers to bucket brigade attack in this case attacker sniffs the information transferring between the sender and the receiver like the server and the browser or between two servers. Such information is not encrypted. Attacker collects the information and intercepts it then sends it to the receiver.

Steps against MITM: Following are some useful steps to avoid MITM attack.

• Download the latest version of high security web browsers.
• Use Extended Validation (EV) certificate for the highest protection against MITM attack.
• Use two-factor authentication for sensitive accounts.
• Never respond unknown or spam emails.

Phishing Attack:

In Phishing attack, attacker personates to be a legal person or business through fraud emails or websites and illegally acquire sensitive information like username, passwords, credit card information, and bank account details. There should be SSL security (EV certificate) that can provide protection against phishing. Besides, user training and technical measures also need to be implemented.

From the above discussion about different online attacks, we can definitely understand that how much essential the SSL is not only from preventing online threats but also helps gain fame and trust from the visitors. It is therefore required to have a strong security called SSL protocol for your online business.

SSL - Secure bridge of Online information:

Now we can imagine that how online attacks have influenced online industries. In this situation, SSL (secure socket layer) can secure your entire website with robust security. SSL is an encrypted technology, enabling the server and the browser to transfer the information in a secure environment. SSL encrypts the information so the hacker could not identify it and user information will remain secure over the web. SSL uses public key and private key to encrypt and decrypt the information.

How SSL Works?: What comes out when a Web browser connects to an SSL secured Website?

• The first step is that the browser attempts to connect to the website.
• The browser demands the Web server to confirm whether the web site is equipped with SSL security or not.
• The server of the site transmits a copy of the SSL certificate for the visitor's web browser confirmation.
• The next step is confirmation of the SSL security certificate.
• The browser assures that the certificate sent by the SSL web server is trustworthy.
• If the certificate is legitimate, the browser transmits a message to the web server.
• However, if it fails, the browser makes a warning and stimulates the user to authorize or deny the legitimacy of the web server certificate.

At the end, we can summaries that online attacks are expanding their horizon and it is sensible to have a strong network security to prevent online attacks. In this case, SSL stands alone in security criteria that have utmost protection for described online attacks. It allows a secure bridge in which the sender and the receiver can transmit data in a secure environment.

SSL - Single Root Vs Chained Root

SSL certificates are basically two types.

1. Single Root Level SSL Certificate
2. Chain Root SSL Certificate

When connecting to a web server over SSL, the visitor's browser decides whether or not to trust the website's SSL certificate based on which SSL Certification Authority has issued the SSL certificate. To determine this, the browser looks at its list of trusted issuing authorities - represented by a collection of Trusted Root CA certificates added into the browser by the browser vendor (such as Microsoft, Linux, UNIX, Sun and Netscape, Mozilla, Safari).

Where is this list of CA in your computer?

When browsers and operating systems are developed / installed, most CA Root certificates will be installed. As all Root CA are required to authenticate SSL certificate on any website. When you browse any website on HTTPS://, browser will automatically identify Root Certificate as defined earlier. If browser fails to identify CS then there would be an error message.

Most SSL certificates are issued by CAs who own and use their own Trusted Root CA certificates, such as those issued by VeriSign, RapidSSL, Thawte, and GeoTrust. As all of these are known to browser vendors as a trusted issuing authority, its Trusted Root CA certificate has already been added to all popular browsers like Internet Explore (IE 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0), Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Netscape and hence is already trusted. These SSL certificates are known as "single root" SSL certificates. RapidSSL and GeoTrust own the Equifax root used to issue its certificates. As well VeriSign and Thawte have own Root to issue SSL certificates.

What is Chained Root SSL Certificate?

Some Certification Authorities do not have a Trusted Root CA certificate present in browsers, or do not use the root they do own. In place they use a "chained root" in order for their SSL certificates to be trusted - essentially a CA with a Trusted Root CA certificate issues a "chained" certificate which "inherits" the browser recognition of the Trusted Root CA. These SSL certificates are known as "chained root" SSL certificates. However chained root certificates installation is more complex and some web servers and applications are not compatible with chained root certificates. Chained root certificates require additional effort to install as the web server must also have the chained root installed. This is not necessary for single root certificates.

For a Certification Authority to have and use its own Trusted Root CA certificate already present in browsers is a clear sign that they are long-time, stable and credible organizations who have long term relationships with the browser for the inclusion of their Trusted Root CA certificates. For this reason, such CAs are seen as being considerably more credible and stable than chained root certificate providers who do not have a direct relationship with the browser vendors, or do not use their own root certificates to issue SSL certificates.

ClickSSL.com provides only Single Root SSL Certificates.

Introduction to SSL

Certificate Authority (CA)

— A Certificate Authority is a trusted third-party organization that issues digital certificates such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates after verifying the information included in the Certificates.

Encryption

— Encryption is the process of scrambling a message so that only the intended audience has access to the information. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology establishes a private communication channel where data can be encrypted during online transmission, protecting sensitive information from electronic eavesdropping.

Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate

— Requires a high standard for verification of Secure Sockets (SSL) Certificates dictated by a third party, the CA/Browser Forum. In Microsoft® Internet Explorer 7 and other popular high security browsers, Web sites secured with Extended Validation SSL Certificates cause the URL address bar to turn green.

HTTPS

— Web pages beginning with "https" instead of "http" enable secure information transmission via the protocol for secure http. “Https” is one measure of security to look for when sending or sharing confidential information such as credit card numbers, private data records, or business partner data.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Technology

— SSL and its successor, transport layer security (TLS), use cryptography to provide security for online transactions. SSL uses two keys to encrypt and decrypt data − a public key known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message.

SSL Certificate

— A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate incorporates a digital signature to bind together a public key with an identity. SSL Certificates enable encryption of sensitive information during online transactions, and in the case of organizationally validated Certificates, also serve as an attestation of the Certificate owner’s identity.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate is the World Standard for Web Security. SSL technology confronts the potential problems of unauthorized viewing of confidential information, data manipulation, data hijacking, phishing, and other insidious Web site scams by encrypting sensitive data so that only authorized recipients can read it. In addition to preventing tampering with sensitive information, SSL helps provide your Web site’s users with the assurance of having accessed a valid Web site. Support for SSL is built into all major operating systems, Web applications, and server hardware—meaning that SSL’s powerful encryption technology helps provide your business with a system-wide, liability limiting security blanket for fortifying consumer confidence, boosting the percentage of completed transactions, and enriching the “bottom line.”

What is SSL and why should I care?

Data security over open communication networks such as the Internet will always be a strong concern for developers and customers. Therefore, it is extremely important for a any product you use to be able to achieve a secure environment.

What is SSL?

SSL is a protocol that provides privacy and integrity between two communicating applications using TCP/IP. The data going back and forth between client and server is encrypted using a symmetric algorithm.

A public-key algorithm (RSA) is used for the exchange of the encryption keys and for digital signatures. Public key cryptography defines an algorithm that uses two keys, each of which may be used to encrypt a message. If one key is used to encrypt a message, the other must be used to decrypt it. This makes it possible to receive secure messages by simply publishing one key (the public key) and keeping the other undisclosed (the private key).

Digital certificates

This takes us into the discussion of digital certificates, which play an important role in SSL Certificates. Digital certificates mainly serve two purposes:

• To establish the owner's identity
• To make the owner's public key available
• A digital certificate is issued by a trusted authority -- a certificate authority (CA) -- and it is issued only for a limited time. When its expiration date passes, the digital certificate must be replaced. SSL uses digital certificates for key exchange, server authentication, and optionally, client authentication.
• The digital certificate contains specific pieces of information about the identity of the certificate owner and about the certificate authority:
• The owner's distinguished name.
• The owner's public key.
• The date the digital certificate was issued.
• The date the digital certificate expires.
• The issuer's distinguished name. This is the distinguished name of the CA.
• The issuer's digital signature.
• An SSL connection is always initiated by the client using a URL starting with https://  instead of http://.

More about RapidSSL Certificate

As you know RapidSSL is largest SSL Certificate seller in the world. As a CA (Certificate Authority) RapidSSL strongly follow industry standard in SSL issuance and validation process.

What validation processes does RapidSSL use?

Trust hierarchy demands that entities "vouch" for each other. Companies that issue SSL certificates are in the business of establishing that entities on the web are, in fact, who they claim to be. The potential for criminal activity on the web (in relevance to SSL anyway), is in online ‘hijacking’ of sites or connections to siphon encrypted data. Persons so inclined can easily "copy" web site interfaces and pose as well known vendors, simply to collect these data.

SSL certificates work to prevent this through ensuring that www.abc.com is, in fact, ABC Co. In the “real world”, RapidSSL use identification procedures like photo ids, telephone calls and papers of incorporation to know with whom we’re dealing. If products or services are defective, buyers can seek recourse. In the “online world”, companies wishing to use SSL certificates must prove to the certificate authority that they have the right to present themselves online as ABC Co.

This is done through a variety of means in different SSL products. For simplicity’s sake, consider the method started and championed by Verisign, as the ‘traditional’ model. The process involves certificate petitioners faxing in their articles of incorporation, and then waiting several days to be granted a certificate to do business online under that name. There is a fair amount of overhead related to this task, as these credentials are examined and reviewed, and full-service products in this arena can cost hundreds of dollars.

There are newer, lower-cost alternatives in which certificates are issued more quickly. These SSL certificates verify that the certificate holder is the owner of that domain, ensuring customers that URL “owners” are who they claim to be.

Is self sign SSL safe or not?

There are two types of SSL certificates on basis on issuance type.

• Self signed SSL certificates

Self-signed certificate is an identity certificate that is signed by its own creator. That is, the person that created the certificate also signed off on its legitimacy.

• CA issued SSL certificates

A CA issues digital certificates that contain a public key and the identity of the owner. The matching private key is not similarly made available publicly, but kept secret by the end user who generated the key pair. The SSL certificate is also an attestation by the CA that the public key contained in the certificate belongs to the person, organization, server or other entity noted in the certificate. A CA's obligation in such schemes is to verify an applicant's credentials, so that users and relying parties can trust the information in the CA's certificates. CAs use a variety of standards and tests to do so.

A CA issues digital certificates that contain a public key and the identity of the owner. The matching private key is not similarly made available publicly, but kept secret by the end user who generated the key pair. The certificate is also an attestation by the CA that the public key contained in the certificate belongs to the person, organization, server or other entity noted in the certificate. A CA's obligation in such schemes is to verify an applicant's credentials, so that users and relying parties can trust the information in the CA's certificates. CAs uses a variety of standards and tests to do so.

It the user trusts the CA and can verify the CA's signature, then he can also verify that a certain public key does indeed belong to whomever is identified in the certificate.

Now let’s talk about Self Signed SSL Certificate. Self signed SSL is created by individual to install on intranet / internet website. If your website is installed with self signed SSL certificate and any one browse website on secure channel HTTPS:// then he/she will get error (Error: Security Failed. Invalid Certificate Found).

What this error means? (Error: Security Failed. Invalid Certificate Found).

Well you have installed self signed SSL certificate so it is trusted by your own server/pc only. SSL certificates are always authenticated by Root CA certificates. Self signed SSL does not have Global Root CA certificate as it is created on your in-house server and user PC is not installed with that Root CA certificate. So whenever anyone will browse your website on secure channel HTTPS://, SSL certificate installed on website will not be authenticated as a trusted SSL certificate and there will be SSL certificate Security error. Visitor will see error and will jump out from your website as he/she feels unsecure providing confidential details like Credit Card Number, Security Code, User name, Password, etc.

If you want to work Self signed SSL certificate then you need to install Root SSL Certificate central CA on each user PC. If you are on intranet and you have to install it in few PCs then it is possible. What about PC on internet? How can you install on website visitor PC, before he visit your website? This is not possible at all as you can not guess who will visit your website and what time he will visit your website?

For example read this.

In a web of trust certificate scheme there is no central CA, and so identity certificates for each user can be self-signed. In this case, however, it is additional signatures from other users which are evaluated to determine whether a certificate should be accepted as correct. So, if users A, B, and C have signed Mary’s certificate, user E may decide to trust that the public key in the certificate is Mary's (all these worthies having agreed by their signatures on that claim). But, if only user A has signed, E might (based on his knowledge of A) decide to take additional steps in evaluating Alice's certificate. On the other hand, C's signature alone on the certificate may by itself be enough for E to trust that he has Alice's public key (C being known to E to be a reliably careful and trustworthy person).

There is of course, a potentially difficult regression here, as how can E know that A, B, Ted, or C have signed any certificate at all unless he knows their public keys (which of course came to him in some sort of certificate)? In the case of a small group of users who know one another in advance and can meet in person (e.g., a family), users can sign one another's certificates when they meet as a group, but this solution does not scale to larger settings. This problem is solved by fiat in X.509 PKI schemes as one believes (i.e., trusts) the root certificate by definition. The problem of trusting certificates is real in both approaches, but less easily lost track of by users in a Web of Trust scheme.
