Tejas Jain - GCP Constraints & Random Facts



1. 

Google Cloud Interconnect Security

Cloud Interconnect does not encrypt the connection between your on-premises network and Google's network.

Cloud VPN cannot be used with Dedicated Interconnect

For additional security, use application-level encryption or your own VPN


2.

While using Cloud CDN, the default time-to-live (TTL) for content caching is 3600 seconds = 60 mins


3.

Cloud NAT sends only the translation logs and error logs to Cloud Logging service.


4.

GCP Dedicated Interconnect - On Premises network device requirements:

    10-Gbps circuits, single mode fiber or 100-Gbps circuits, single mode fiber

    IPv4 link local addressing

    LACP, even if you are using single circuit

    EBGP-4 with multi-hop

    802.1Q VLANs

5.

While using Cloud VPN, the recommended MTU to be configured on the peer VPN  gateway = 1460 bytes


6.

Each instance must have at least one network interface. The maximum number of network instances per instance is 8, depending on the instance's machine type. nic0 is required and must be configured at instance creation.


7.

Cloud Armor policies can be based upon the following:

  • Expression matches against requests from the IP address 1.2.3.4 and contains a string in the user-agent header
  • Expression matches against requests that have a cookie with a specific value
  • Expression matches against requests from the region AU, US, etc.
  • Expression matches against requests from the region AU that are not in the specified IP range
  • Expression matches against requests if the URI matches a regular expression
  • Expression matches against requests if the Base64 decoded value of the user-id the header contains a specific value
  • The expression uses a preconfigured expression set to match against SQLi attacks

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...

MITRE ATT&CK - Understanding Kerberos (for Golden Ticket Attack)

Kerberos = Network Authentication Protocol used by AD environments Provides authentication by issuing tickets to authenticate users and allow them access to the services Tickets are distibuted by KDC (Key Distribution Center), which is typically a Domain Controller (DC) During initial authentication, a TGT (Ticket Granting Ticket) is a ticket asigned to a user by KDC. TGT is later used to authenticate the user to the KDC in order to request a service ticket from TGS (Ticket Granting Service). Service tickets are granted for authentication against services. List of steps / negotiations for Kerberos authentication (of the user with the service): The user requests  (AS-REQ)  a TGT from the KDC and the KDC verifies and validates the credentials and user information. This request if often done automatically at login. After authenticating the user, the KDC sends an encrypted TGT back to the requester  (AS-REP) . The user presents the TGT to the DC and requests a TGS  (TGS-...
