How To enable Secure Shell (SSH) in Cisco IOS and disable Telnet

In: Cisco, Secure Shell(SSH)
Tagged: Cisco, config, ios, router, Secure Shell(SSH), Security, ssh, switch, telnet

Using Telnet for remote administration of Cisco Routers and Switches (infact for any other device like a unix,linux or a solaris seerver) is not very secure as the data including the passwords are sent in clear text. It will only be a matter of time for a malicous attacker who can sniff the packets to gain access to the passwords and infact the whole network. It is recommended that Secure Shell (SSH) is used for remote administration of Cisco Routers and Switches.  NOTE: Cisco IOS on the Catalyst switches are by default supplied with the SSH feature bultin. However, the basic Cisco IOS for theRead More →

Solaris Security – Disable ICMP Redirect in Sun Solaris

Tagged: icmp-redirect, ipv4, ipv6, nddconfig, routing-table, Security, Solaris, sun-solaris

Solaris Operating Environment by default is configured to both accept and send  the ICMP Redirect messages. According to RFCs, only a router or a gateway device should send an ICMP Redirect message and any other hosts should only be able to receive the ICMP Redirects. If the Solaris server is not acting as a Router or a Gateway then sending ICMP Redirect message should be disabled. The same applies to accepting ICMP Redirect messages if the solaris server is not required to receive ICMP Redirect messages (say a single Router/Gateway network/subnets scenario) as a malicous hacker could send fake ICMP redirect messages to modify theRead More →

In: Networking, Security, Windows
Tagged: denial-of-service, dos, icmp-redirect, Security, Windows

ICMP redirect is a type 5 ICMP error message sent by a gateway router to a sending host informing of an optimal alternate route to the destination host and to update its routing table with the new host route to the target destination host. ICMP Redirects being an inefficient way to update a hosts routing table of an optimal route to a target destination can cause security issues. A malicious hacker with little knowledge about the network can launch a Denail of Service (DoS) attack on a host on the network.Read More →
