Google Cloud Armor - Restrictions

Google Cloud Armor is Google's Network Security service that provides protection against DDoS and web application based attacks.




If you have been thinking about enabling Google Cloud Armor for leveraging its DDoS protection and WAF capabilities, you must know the following restrictions:

1. Cloud Armor cannot be enabled on non-HTTP Load balancers.

2. If your HTTP load balancers have Cloud CDN enabled on them, then you cannot enable Cloud Armor on them.

3. If your HTTP Load Balancer has backend buckets instead of backend services, you cannot enable Cloud Armor. This is evident in the below snapshot, where the only option you get is to enable Armor for "Load Balancer backend service".

The above restriction is also mentioned in the official GCP document. Click here : Cloud Armor Limitations.

Summary: You can enable Cloud Armor only on HTTP load balancers which have backend services (not buckets) as the backend resources.

MITRE ATT&CK - Kerberos Vulnerabilities and Security

From the previous post, the summary of Kerberos authentication process is as below: For the initial authentication, the user’s client machine sends a request to the KDC  Authentication Service (AS) . The request includes details like the user’s username, and the date and time. All information except the username is encrypted using the hash of the user’s password. The KDC AS uses the username to look up its copy of the user’s password hash and uses it to decrypt the rest of the request. If the decryption is successful, that means the client used the correct password hash and the user has successfully authenticated. Once the user is authenticated, the KDC AS sends the user’s client a  ticket granting ticket   (TGT) . The TGT includes a unique session key and a timestamp that specifies how long that session is valid (normally 8 or 10 hours). Importantly, before sending the TGT, the KDC encrypts it using the password hash for a special account, the  KRBTGT account. ...

Checkpoint - Exporting Objects in CSV format

Be it a Network Operations Manager, Security Architect or a Security Auditor, the people up the hierarchy always harangue the Security Engineers to compile the list of firewall objects or rules or policies or the traffic statistics and so on.. This can turn out to be quite hectic especially if there are no built in features to systematically provide the output in a "layman-readable" format. Come, Checkpoint's "Object Explorer..."  which not only provides the output in the "layman-readable" format, but also provides in-built filtering mechanisms, thereby ensuring that the Security Engineer doesn't have to rely on Google for building his scarce Microsoft Excel data filtering skills. The following screenshots will show how easy it is, with Checkpoint R80.10 to generate the firewall configuration inventory. On the SmartConsole Unified Portal, navigate to Menu >> Open Object Explorer... Select the Categories you wish to see in your output: Click o...
