7. DICE presentation in 2016:
• Detail about DNS response Deception
• Overview of TCP Deception(not detail)

Today’s topic: TCP deception detail and effect
9. To block outside TCP access from
suspicious (internal) IP address?
• Configure Firewall rule or ACL of L3SW
– Sometimes with too heavy process
• Tell the owner of suspicious IP address
– Sometimes with too heavy process
Copyright by wakatono 9
• Place and operate DICE for TCP
– One time heavy process(to place DICE for
TCP)
10. TCP 3way handshake Response
- easily Deceptable Protocol Response
• Normal TCP Response of Connection
Initiation can be decepted easily
– Signed and/or encrypted Packet (e.g. IPsec)
is hard to be decepted.
• Applicable to various of deception
– After Decepted, connection is “hijacked” ☺
– After Connection Decepted, we can decept
interaction to enemies by using Hijacked
connection ☺

11. I want to terminate malicious
connection to specific “client(s)”
• RST packet may be filtered(and connection
may be still alive )
– Many IPS have function of sending RST
packet(and may be filtered).
• ACK, SYN+ACK packet of Connection
initiation state to proper port must not be
filtered ☺
– If filtered every packet, that computer turned to
useless object ☺

12. Blocking TCP Connection
• Very easy
– Only send decepted SYN+ACK packet related
to Initial SYN packet
• To send decepted SYN+ACK packet
– DICE for TCP need to know only pair of IP
addresses, pair of Port number, sequence
number, and ack number

13. TCP Connection Interaction
- easily Deceptable Protocol Response

Reference: RFC793 TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL
14. Block TCP connection by using
Decepted SYN+ACK packet
• ACK packet related to ④ is useless for External IP
• SYN+ACK Packet ⑤ is useless for Suspicious IP
→Connection cannot be established between Suspicious IP and External IP
DICE for TCP is placed appropriate place in Network

Suspicious IP
①Send SYN
packet
②DICE for TCP captures
packet of ①
③Check IP address is suspicious
or not
④Send Decepted
SYN+ACK packet
related to ①
⑥ Send ACK
packet related
to ④
⑤ Send real SYN+ACK packet
External IP
15. To check IP address is
suspicious or not
• Use function pointer table ☺
Copyright by wakatono 15
・Read IP and TCP header
・Get IP address from IP header
・Execute func[IP address]
func[IP address] contains a pointer to “Decepted SYN+ACK respond
function” or “do nothing function”.
void *func[2^32];
func[0] = donothing;
…
func[suspip] = decepted_response;
…
func[2^32-1] = donothing;
void donothing(){}
void decepted_response()
{
make decepted response function
}
Ex: pseudo code(like C) of function table
16. TCP Connction Step Summary
Decepted by DICE for TCP
• 1. SYN packet is sent
• 2. Decepted SYN+ACK packet is sent by
DICE for TCP
• 3. Real SYN+ACK packet is sent
Copyright by wakatono 16
Omitted
One SYN for Two SYN+ACK!
17. Real TCP response too slow?
• Slow (most case of oversea)
– e.g. Tokyo – San Francisco
• Round trip: 18,000km
– Speed of Light: 300,000km/s
– At least, about 60msec is required as a time
between IP packet round trip - Traffic initiated
from Tokyo to San Francisco and Response
sent from San Francisco to Tokyo reaches to
traffic initiator(in Tokyo)

19. Conclusion
• DICE for TCP is easier than DICE (for
DNS)
• IP address check can be made faster
• DICE for TCP is placed proper point
• DICE for DNS and DICE for TCP now
work a certain company ☺
• Speed of Light is Slow
