Chapter 1

DDoS Protector Overview

Check Point DDoS Protector™ appliances block denial-of-service (DoS) attacks within seconds with multi-layered protection and up to 12-Gbps performance.

Modern distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks use new techniques to exploit areas that traditional security solutions are not equipped to protect. These attacks can cause serious network downtime to businesses that rely on networks and Web services to operate. DDoS protector extends company security perimeters to block destructive DDoS attacks before they cause damage.

Network Flood Protection

DDoS Protector uses behavioral analysis to provide network-flood-attack protection. After baselining normal daily and weekly patterns for network traffic, DDoS Protector identifies abnormal traffic— especially spikes from network floods.

Server Flood Protection

DDoS Protector protects against misuse of application resources. With its automatic signature-generation capability, DDoS Protector automatically generates new signatures to mitigate suspected attacks, and uses predefined signatures to prevent known bad behavior. DDoS Protector also prevents misuse of TCP/IP stack by fending off SYN-flood attacks using SYN cookies.

Application Layer Protection

DDoS Protector blocks automated tools and fake users with challenge/response techniques, while transparently redirecting legitimate users to the desired destinations.

Port Mirroring

Port Mirroring and Traffic Rate Port Mirroring

Port Mirroring enables the device to mirror traffic from one physical port on the device to another physical port on the device. This is useful when a monitoring device is connected to one of the ports on the device. You can choose to mirror either received and transmitted traffic, received traffic only, or transmitted traffic only. You can also decide whether received broadcast packets should be mirrored or not.

To avoid high bandwidth DoS and DDoS attacks, you can perform traffic rate port mirroring mirror the traffic arriving to DDoS Protector to a dedicated sniffer port. This allows collecting packet data in an event of an attack. The mirroring is performed only when the device is under attack, and is based on a predefined traffic threshold.

To set the device to operate in port mirroring mode 1. Select Device > Port Mirroring > Table.

2. Click Create.

3. Configure the parameters, and click Set.

Parameter Description

Input Port The port from which the traffic is mirrored. Output Port The port to which traffic is mirrored. Receive\Transmit The direction of traffic to be mirrored.

(19)

DDoS Protector Web Based Management User Guide | 11 Promiscuous Mode This parameter enables you to either copy all traffic from the input port to the

output port or to copy only the traffic that is destined to the input port. Values:

 Enabled—Setting this parameter to enabled means that all traffic is copied to the Output Port.

 Disabled—Setting this parameter to Disabled means that only traffic destined to the Input port is copied.

Default: Enabled.

Backup Port A backup port for the output. Mode Define the relevant mode, either:

 Enabled—Port Mirroring is continuously enabled.

 Traffic Rate—Port Mirroring is defined according to the Traffic Rate over the network (PPS or Kbps) therefore the Threshold must be defined. Threshold The threshold value.

Global Parameters

To set the Port Mirroring Global Parameters

1. Select Device > Port Mirroring > Global Parameters.

2. Configure the parameters, and click Set.

Parameter Description

Traffic Threshold Units

The Traffic Threshold units, according to which to detect attacks. Values:

 PPS—The amount of Packets per Second being sent over the network.  kbps—The number of kbps that can pass through the Input port before the

mirroring process begins. If the number of kbps on the traffic interface port is higher than the threshold value, it means that there is an attack and the traffic is mirrored to the output port for the period of time configured by Threshold Interval.

Thresholds Interval The number of seconds in which the mirroring process takes place. Default: 30 sec.

(20)

Reset Traffic Rate Threshold

The Port Mirroring Reset Traffic Rate Threshold window enables you to set the device to record the traffic that exceeds the predefined limit within a new threshold interval.

To reset the Traffic Rate Threshold

1. Select Device > Port Mirroring > Reset Traffic Rate.

2. Click Set.

Forwarding Table

You can configure scanning ports using the Static Forwarding mode. In the Static Forwarding mode, DDoS Protector functions as in promiscuous mode in the network, which means that the device acts as completely transparent network element.

Scanning ports have a one-to-one forwarding ratio, where the traffic that comes from the receiving port is always sent out from its corresponding transmitting port. The ports are paired, meaning one port receives traffic while another transmits traffic. The ports are defined in the Forwarding Table. Note: When using the SYN Flood Protection filters, you must set the inbound and the outbound traffic to operate in the Process mode.

You can assign the same Destination Port to more than one Source Port. For example, you can define that Source Port 1 is associated with Destination Port 3, and also Source Port 2 is associated with Destination Port 3.

To configure promiscuous ports 1. Select Device > Forwarding Table. 2. Click Create.

3. Configure the parameters, and click Set.

Parameter Description

Source The user-defined source port for received traffic. Destination The user-defined destination port for transmitted traffic.

Operation The operation mode that can be assigned to a pair of ports: Process or Switch. Failure Mode The failure mode.

Values: Fail-Open, Fail-Close Port Type The port type.

Values: Source, Destination

Note: When you assign the same Destination Port to more than one Source Port, you must set the Destination Port of the traffic in the opposite direction, otherwise the traffic transmitted in that direction is ignored. For example, Source Port 1 is associated with Destination Port 3, and also Source Port 2 is associated with Destination Port 3. In that case, for the traffic in the opposite direction, the Source Port is 3 and the Destination Port must be defined (typically it is 1 or 2).

(21)

DDoS Protector Web Based Management User Guide | 13

Interface Grouping

When installing DDoS Protector between two L2 switches operating with multiple links (with Link Aggregation, for example), a link failure of one L2 switch would not be detected by the remote L2 switch, as DDoS Protector would continue to keep the link up.

Source Port The session source port. Dest Port The session destination port.

(28)

IP Fragmentation

In some cases, when the length of the IP packet is too long to be transmitted, the originator of the packet or one of the routers transmitting the packet has to fragment the packet to multiple shorter packets.

IP Fragmentation allows the device to forward fragmented IP packets. The device identifies that all the fragments belong to same datagram and treats them accordingly in terms of classification, load balancing and forwarding. The device does not reassemble the original IP packet, but it forwards the fragmented datagrams to their destination, even if the datagrams arrives to the device out of order. Note: In case of asymmetric routing, when the device does not see all fragmented packets, the device drops uncompleted fragments.

Device Overload Mechanism

In cases when the traffic load goes beyond the processing power limitations of the device, you can allow using of the Overload mechanism. Using of this mechanism maintains a high level of availability and hardware/software stability, reducing traffic delays or packet loss.

The Overload mechanism identifies overload conditions, notifies about them, and automatically takes actions that aim to reduce the relevant operations that consume resources.

Note: When the device operations are reduced, some of the security functionalities are compromised.

(29)

DDoS Protector Web Based Management User Guide | 21 To enable the overload mechanism

1. Select Device >Overload Mechanism. 2. Select one of the following:

Enable to start the Overload mechanism.  Disable to stop the Overload mechanism. 4. Click Set.

High Availability

High Availability Global Parameters

To support high availability (HA), you can configure two compatible DDoS Protector devices to operate in a two-node cluster.

To be compatible, both cluster members must be of the same platform, software version, software license, throughput license, and Check Point signature file.

One member of the cluster is the primary; the other member of the cluster is the secondary. The primary device is the device that device with the High Availability Pair Definition.

When you configure a cluster and submit the configuration, the newly designated primary device configures the required parameters on the designated secondary device.

The members of a cluster work in an active-passive architecture. When a cluster is created:

 The primary and secondary devices negotiate the active/passive status according to the specified triggers and thresholds. If both device environments are nominal, the primary device becomes the active member.

 The primary device transfers the relevant configuration objects to the secondary device. A secondary device maintains its own configuration for the device users, IP interfaces, routing, and the port-pair Failure Mode (see Forwarding Table).

A primary device immediately transfers each relevant change to its secondary device. For example, after you make a change to a Network Protection policy, the primary device immediately transfers the change to the secondary device. However, if you change the list of device users on the primary device, the primary device transfers nothing (because the secondary device maintains its own list of device users).

The passive device periodically synchronizes baselines for BDoS and HTTP Mitigator protections. If a passive device does not detect the active device according to the specified Heartbeat Timeout, the device switches to the active state (even though the peer might actually be in a nominal situation). The following situations trigger the active device and the passive device to switch states (active to passive and passive to active):

 All links are identified as down on the active device according to the specified Link Down Timeout and the peer device has at least one link up.

 Optionally, the traffic to the active device falls below the specified Idle Line Threshold for the specified Idle Line Timeout.

 You issue the Switch Over command.

 If the Enable Failback option is enabled (default: disabled), the secondary device switches from active to passive after the secondary device detects that the primary-device situation is nominal. You cannot perform many actions on a secondary device.

(30)

You can perform only the following actions on a secondary device:

 Switch the device state (that is, switch over active to passive and passive to active)  Break the cluster if the primary device is unavailable

 Configure management IP addresses and routing  Configure the port-pair Failure Mode.

 Manage device users

 Download a device configuration  Upload a signature file

 Download the device log file  Download the support log file  Reboot

 Shut down

 Change the device name  Change the device time

 Initiate a baseline synchronization if the device is passive, using CLI or Web Based Management. Notes:

 By design, an active device does not to fail over during a user-initiated reboot. Before you reboot an active device, you can manually switch to the other device in the cluster.

 You can initiate a baseline synchronization if a cluster member is passive.

 When you upgrade the device software, you need to break the cluster (that is, ungroup the two devices). Then, you can upgrade the software and reconfigure the cluster, as you require.

 In an existing cluster, you cannot change the role of a device (primary to secondary or vice versa). To change the role of a device, you need to break the cluster (that is, ungroup the two devices), and then, reconfigure the cluster as you require.

 When a passive device becomes active, any grace time resets to 0 (for example, the time of the Graceful Startup Mode Startup Timer).

Tunneling

Carriers, service providers, and large organizations use various tunneling protocols to transmit data from one location to another. This is done using the IP network so that network elements are unaware of the data encapsulated in the tunnel.

Tunneling implies that traffic routing is based on source and destination IP addresses. When tunneling is used, IPS devices and load balancers cannot locate the relevant information because their decisions are based on information located inside the IP packet in a known offset, and the original IP packet is encapsulated in the tunnel.

To provide a carrier-grade IPS/DoS solution, DDoS Protector inspects traffic in tunnels, positioning DDoS Protector in peering points and carrier network access points.

You can install DDoS Protector in different environments, which might include encapsulated traffic using different tunneling protocols. In general, wireline operators deploy MPLS and L2TP for their tunneling, and mobile operators deploy GRE and GTP.

DDoS Protector can inspect traffic that may use various encapsulation protocols. In some cases, the external header (tunnel data) is the data that DDoS Protector needs to inspect. In other cases, DDoS Protector needs to inspect the internal data (IP header and even the payload). You can configure DDoS Protector to meet your specific inspection requirements.

Note: Changing the configuration of this feature takes effect only after a device reset. To configure tunneling

1. Select Device > Tunneling.

2. Configure the parameters, and click Set.

Dynamic Protocols

Dynamic Protocols: General

Check Point's Classification Engine classifies both static applications and dynamic applications. Dynamic application is an application that has multiple connections belonging to the same session. For example, FTP has Control Session and Data Session, SIP has Signaling sessions, Data sessions (RTP) and the Control sessions (RTCP).

(35)

DDoS Protector Web Based Management User Guide | 27 In some scenarios, the dynamic sessions should be in the Session Table for a longer time than regular sessions. In VoIP, SIP, and H.255, for example, there may be a period with no traffic, however, the call is still active, and the session should not age.

You may configure different aging time for various dynamic applications and configure different policies for different connections of the same session. In FTP, for example, you can set one policy for the FTP data and another policy for the FTP control.
