IDS, IPS, NAT and VPN
What is an Intrusion Detection
System (IDS)?
๐Ÿ ถ Itโ€™s a technique of detecting unauthorized access to a computer system or a
computer network.
๐Ÿ ถ The detection techniques used by IDS are as follows:
1. Signature based Intrusion Detection Technique
2. Anomaly based Intrusion Detection Technique
๐Ÿ ถ Signature based detection scan all the packet on the network and compare them
against the database of signatures. Example: E-mail an attachment filename of
โ€œfreepics.exeโ€, which are characteristics of a known form of malware.
๐Ÿ ถ Anomaly based detection perform comparison against the established baseline.
Example: The number of failed login attempts for a host, and the level of processor
usage for a host in a given period of time.
What is Intrusion Prevention
System (IPS)?
๐Ÿ ถ They not only detect the intrusion but also take some preventive
actions and defend the network by stopping the intruders.
๐Ÿ ถ The detection techniques used by IPS are as follows:
1. Network-based Intrusion Prevention System (NIPSs)
2. Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPSs)
๐Ÿ ถ NIPSs performs packet sniffing and analyze network traffic to identify and stop
suspicious activity.
๐Ÿ ถ HIPSs monitors the characteristics & events of a single host, such as monitoring
network traffic, system logs, running processes, file access and modification, and
system and application configuration changes.
Honey token
systems
๐Ÿ ถ Honey token is the security tool used
for the purpose of intrusion detection.
๐Ÿ ถ Its concept is derived from honeypots
and honeynets
๐Ÿ ถ A honeypot system is designed to
attract hackers.
๐Ÿ ถ After an intrusion, network
administrators and security specialists
can determine how the attacker
succeeded.
๐Ÿ ถ Then prevent subsequent attacks, and
identify security gaps.
Conclusion
๐Ÿ ถ Honeypot technology has matured after a leap in its development.
๐Ÿ ถ This technology aims to lure hackers to a decoy system, thus delaying the attack
and providing network security specialists a window of opportunity to prevent the
threat.
๐Ÿ ถ The technology allows system administrators to know the launch address, verify if
the security strategy is effective, and determine if the defense line is solid.
๐Ÿ ถ Network security can be improved when such technologies are combined with the
honeypot system.
๐Ÿ ถ We believe that honeypot technology will play a crucial role in global network
security.
NAT & PAT
Intro to NAT/PAT
ยฉ 2002, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. ICND v2.0โ€”6-7 7
NAT :- the NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION is used to translate the local ip
address on a network with the global or public ip addresses.
Requirement of NAT when..
1.you need to connect to the Internet and your hosts donโ€™t have global unique ip
addresses. We are using private addresses.
2. You change your network to another ISP and that require to renumber your
network. Then using the nat we didnโ€™t need to change our ip addresses.
3. You need to merge two internets with duplicate addresses.
4.No any host from the foreign network can access our local network. Local network
security.
NAT typesโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ
Static NAT:- it is the type of Nat that is designed to allow One-to-one mapping
between the local ip addresses and global ip addresses.
BUT keep in mind that
static NAT require that YOU MUST HAVE ONE REAL INTERNET IP ADDRESS
FOR EVERY HOST ON YOUR NETWORK.
Dynamic NAT:- this gives the ability to map an unregistered ip address with a
registered ip address from out of pool of ip addresses. you donโ€™t have to statically
configure your router to map an inside address with an outside address like in static
NAT.
But you must have the sufficient number of ip addresses for every user
who`s going to transfer packets with internet
NAT overloading{(PAT-Port Address Translation)}:- this is the most popular type of
the NAT configuration it is the type of dynamic NAT. that maps multiple local ip
addresses with a single registered ip addresses. __Many โ€“to-One.
But it is mostly
used because of its feature of using the special port number for every translated
addresses with the global ip address through which we can attach unlimited no. of
users with the internet using a single ip address only

An IP address is either local or global.
ICND v2.0โ€”6-9

โ€ข Local IP addresses are seen in the inside network.
ICND v2.0โ€”6-10
VPN
โ€ข VPN stands for Virtual Private Network.
โ€ข A virtual private network offers a higher degree of protection and privacy
as youโ€™re surfing the web, whether at home or outside.
โ€ข A VPN creates a secure connection over public networks (such as the
wi-fi in public transport, hotels, or your favorite cafรฉ) as well as home
networks.
โ€ข Not only do they provide better security for you and your devices, but they
can also help you bypass censorship and access geographically blocked
content on the internet from anywhere!
โ€ข It lets you remotely connect to a private network. 11
VPN
โ€ข A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public
network, and enables users to send and receive data across shared or
public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to
the private network.
โ€ข Applications running on a computing device, e.g., a laptop, desktop,
smartphone, across a VPN may therefore benefit from the functionality,
security, and management of the private network. Encryption is a common,
though not an inherent, part of a VPN connection.
12
Types of VPN
13
There are two basic VPN types :
I. RemoteAccess VPN
II. Site โ€“ to โ€“ Site VPN
III. SSL VPN
Remote access VPN
14
โ€ข Remote access VPN allows a user to connect to a private network and
access its services and resources remotely. The connection between the
user and the private network happens through the Internet and the
connection is secure and private. Allow employees to access the
companyโ€™s internet from outside the office.
Site-to-site VPN
15
โ€ข Site-to-site VPNs allow collaborators in geographically disparate offices to
share the same virtual network.
โ€ข Basically, Site-to-site VPN create a virtual bridge between the networks at
geographically distant offices and connect them through the Internet and
maintain a secure and private communication between the networks.
โ€ข Site-to-site VPN to connect the network of one office location to the
network at another office location
VPN systems
16
VPN systems may be classified by:
๏‚ง the tunneling protocol used to tunnel the traffic
๏‚ง the tunnel's termination point location, e.g., on the customer edge or
network-provider edge
๏‚ง the type of topology of connections, such as site-to-site or network-to-
network
๏‚ง the levels of security provided
๏‚ง the OSI layer they present to the connecting network, such as Layer 2
circuits or Layer 3 network connectivity
๏‚ง the number of simultaneous connections
Secure VPN protocols include the following:
17
โ€ข Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)
โ€ข Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS)
โ€ข Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS)
โ€ข Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE)
โ€ข Microsoft Secure Socket Tunnelling Protocol (SSTP)
โ€ข Multi Path Virtual Private Network (MPVPN).
โ€ข Secure Shell (SSH) VPN
Vpn Authentication
18
โ€ข User-created remote-access VPNs may use passwords, biometrics, two-
factor authentication or other cryptographic methods
โ€ข Network-to-network tunnels often use passwords or digital certificates.
They permanently store the key to allow the tunnel to establish
automatically, without intervention from the administrator.
Vpn Routing
19
โ€ข Tunnelling protocols can operate in a point-to-point network topology that
would theoretically not be considered a VPN because a VPN by definition
is expected to support arbitrary and changing sets of network nodes
โ€ข But since most router implementations support a software-defined tunnel
interface, customer-provisioned VPNs often are simply defined tunnels
running conventional routing protocols
Unencrypted tunnels
20
โ€ข Some virtual networks use tunneling protocols without encryption for
protecting the privacy of data. While VPNs often do provide security, an
unencrypted overlay network does not neatly fit within the secure or
trusted categorization. For example, a tunnel set up between two hosts
with Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a virtual private network but
is neither secure nor trusted.
Trusted delivery networks:
21
Trusted VPNs do not use cryptographic tunneling; instead they rely on the
security of a single provider's network to protect the traffic.
โ€ข Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) often overlays VPNs, often with quality-of-service
control over a trusted delivery network.
โ€ข L2TP which is a standards-based replacement, and a compromise taking the good features
from each, for two proprietary VPN protocols: Cisco's Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F) (obsolete as
of 2009) and Microsoft's Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP).
VPNs vs Proxy Servers
22
โ€ข A proxy server is a middle man that masks your IP address on the internet,
without doing anything to secure your data. If changing your IP address is
the only task youโ€™re looking for, a proxy might be a good option.
โ€ข However, a VPN will change your IP address while also encrypting your
information. You can think of it as a two in one service.
amazing properties:
โ€ข It's fast.
โ€ข It's easy to take with you wherever you go.
โ€ข It's able to completely hide you from any other boats or submarines.
โ€ข It's dependable.
โ€ข It costs little to add additional submarines to your fleet once you've purchased the first
one.
Thank you
