IPSEC filters used by Windows 2000 & XP

Hi folks,
??? As a result of a recent engagement looking at Windows host hardening, I came
across this little trick and thought it might be useful at some point. The Micr
osoft IPSEC filters used by Windows 2000 & XP can be bypassed by choosing a sour
ce port of 88 (Kerberos).

First off, Microsoft themselves state that IPSEC filters are not designed as a f
ull featured host based firewall [1] and it is already known that certain types
of traffic are exempt from IPSEC filters [2] and they can be summarised as:

* Broadcast
* Multicast
* RSVP
* IKE
* Kerberos

In a Microsoft support note [2] there is the line:
"The Kerberos exemption is basically this: If a packet is TCP or UDP and has a s
ource or destination port = 88, permit."

The test host here has a "block all" rule created using:

ipsecpol.exe -x -w REG -p "The Black Knight" -r "NoneShallPass" -n BLOCK -f
0=*::*

Normal Nmap scan:

# nmap -sS -v -v -P0 --initial_rtt_timeout 10 --max_rtt_timeout 20 172.25.0.14

Starting nmap 3.50 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2004-05-19 18:14 BST Hos

PORT?? STATE? SERVICE
88/tcp closed kerberos-sec

Port 88 closed is the hint, Nmap again using this source port:

# nmap -sS -v -v -P0 -g 88 --initial_rtt_timeout 10 --max_rtt_timeout 20 172.25.

445/tcp? open? microsoft-ds
1025/tcp open? NFS-or-IIS
1027/tcp open? IIS
1433/tcp open? ms-sql-s

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.367 seconds

As can be seen, the IPSEC filters are bypassed.?? Although not designed as a
host based firewall, IPSEC filters are being used as such, particularly to block
popular attacked ports such as NETBIOS, CIFS and SQL, perhaps as [temporary] wo
rm mitigation.

In Windows 2003 all of these default exemptions have been removed with the excep
tion of IKE [1] and I believe that this may be incorporated into earlier Windows
versions at some point.

Cheers,
