Recently, awareness has been raised about a number of "blind" attacks that can be performed against the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and similar protocols. The consequences of these attacks range from throughput-reduction to broken connections or data corruption. These attacks rely on the attacker's ability to guess or know the four- tuple (Source Address, Destination Address, Source port, Destination Port) that identifies the transport protocol instance to be attacked. This document describes a simple and efficient method for random selection of the client port number, such that the possibility of an attacker guessing the exact value is reduced. While this is not a replacement for cryptographic methods, the described port number randomization algorithms provide improved security/obfuscation with very little effort and without any key management overhead. Both text and pdf formats of this paper are included.

Description:

This paper describes several techniques for exposing file contents using the site search functionality. It is assumed that a site contains documents which are not visible/accessible to external users. Such documents are typically future PR items, or future security advisories, uploaded to the website beforehand. However, the site is also searchable via an internal search facility, which does have access to those documents, and as such, they are indexed by it not via web crawling, but rather, via direct access to the files. Therein lies the security breach.
