From spoofing to tunnelling: New Red Team networking techniques for initial access and evasion
Modern network architecture's reliance on perimeter defenses is insufficient due to vulnerabilities in trust mechanisms of network protocols, risking unencrypted tunnels becoming backdoors.
MAIN POINTS
- Perimeter defenses are often assumed to be robust in network architecture.
- Trust mechanisms in network protocols have inherent vulnerabilities.
- Unencrypted tunnels pose significant security risks within enterprise intranets.
- These vulnerabilities can lead to fatal backdoors in network security.
TAKEAWAYS
- Re-evaluate the reliance on perimeter defenses for network security.
- Address vulnerabilities in trust mechanisms of network protocols.
- Implement encryption to secure internal network traffic.
- Strengthen overall network security to prevent backdoor access.
