Study Notes
Standard Access Lists (ACLs)
- Standard ACLs only filter on the source IP address.
- To deny traffic from a specific network, use the
access-listcommand with thedenykeyword followed by the network address and subnet mask. - To permit all other traffic, use the
access-listcommand with thepermitkeyword and theanykeyword.
Access List Configuration
- When applying an ACL to an interface, the direction of the ACL is important (inbound or outbound).
- The ACL is applied to the interface using the
ip access-groupcommand.
Security Threats
- TCP SYN flood attack: a cybercriminal sends a continuous flood of TCP SYN session requests to a target host, overwhelming it with half-open TCP connections.
- Man-in-the-middle attack: a cybercriminal provides an invalid gateway to intercept data.
- Social engineering: an attacker tries to gain the confidence of an employee to obtain sensitive information.
- Zombies: infected machines that carry out a DDoS attack.
ACL Types and Placement
- Standard ACLs: permit or deny packets based on the source IPv4 address.
- Extended ACLs: permit or deny packets based on source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols.
- Placement of ACLs depends on the desired traffic control (inbound or outbound).
Network Security
- IPS (Intrusion Prevention System): identifies and stops malicious packets.
- Threat: a potential danger to a company's assets, data, or network functionality.
- Vulnerability: a weakness in a system that can be exploited by an attacker.
- Exploit: a piece of code or a program that takes advantage of a vulnerability.
ACL Commands
-
access-list: used to create a new ACL or add to an existing one. -
access-class: used to secure administrative access to the router. -
ip access-group: used to apply an ACL to an interface. -
ip access-group in: used to apply an ACL to an interface in the inbound direction.
