THE TOP 4 DDOS ATTACK VECTORS THREATENING 5G NETWORKS

December 5, 2022
Dan Bloom with input from Roman Filkovsky and Boris Lifshitz

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have plagued commercial and
enterprise networks since the seventies. In terms of damage to network
infrastructure, service continuity and business reputation, DDoS attacks account
for some of the most successful cyberattacks in history.

In the past, Communication Service Providers (CSPs) assigned low risk to their
chances of being attacked and avoided taking protective measures, assuming they
could dodge the DDoS bullet.

However, the prevalence of IoT devices have made it easier to launch flooding
attacks and to increase the scope of damage. “Bad actors” are using multitudes
of connected devices to overwhelm target network nodes or communication links
with fake traffic. In addition, CSPs often suffer “collateral damage” from
attacks that flood their networks on the way to the actual, designated target.

 


WITH 5G, VULNERABILITY TO DDOS ATTACKS HAS DRAMATICALLY INCREASED

In order to achieve lower latency, which is critical for many new applications,
such as Vehicle2Vehicle communication, 5G has a distributed network architecture
with Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) at multiple remote locations. These
additional points of access, combined with a growing densification of connected
devices, and the proliferation of open-source applications, increase the “attack
surface” and create additional vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, higher wireless speeds dramatically increase the impact of DDoS
attacks over the network as each device can generate an order of magnitude
higher attack throughput to the network (at MECs and at the core). As mentioned,
this effect is amplified by the plurality of IoT devices, which is expected in
5G, as IoT devices tend to be more vulnerable to cyberattacks.


WHAT IS A DDOS ATTACK?

Typically, the objective of these DDoS attacks is to make network services
unavailable. DDoS can also be used as a smokescreen for other malicious
activities, such as infiltrating malware and ransom attacks or exfiltrating
sensitive data. To make matters more complicated, DDoS can come as repeated
bursts of several tens of seconds, or as a constant high load of terabits per
second.

CSPs can no longer afford to take a reactive approach that assumes, ”If it
hasn’t happened to my network, it probably won’t. And if it does, I’ll handle it
then.” Deferred action is no longer a viable option.

One of the main factors driving CSPs to adopt a DDoS protection strategy is the
rise in enterprises who are migrating data centers and IT infrastructure to the
service provider cloud. Business services are a growing source of CSP revenue.
They are based on SLAs defining service capacity, availability and performance
that the CSP promises to deliver. To meet SLAs, this business needs to be
protected from attack.

Another factor is the Quality of Experience (QoE) that consumers expect from
their CSP. Sluggish response time is not appreciated, and downtime is not
tolerated. If not properly mitigated, DDoS attacks can have a dramatic impact on
QoE for users. Furthermore, there can be serious financial impact and reputation
damage – even block-listing by other operators.

To assure service availability and performance, CSPs must take measures to
protect against DDoS attacks designed to overwhelm network resources and deny
service to legitimate users. Nowadays, leading CSPs are doing something about it
and are prepared to detect and mitigate various types of DDoS attacks.

 


THE TOP DDOS ATTACK VECTORS THREATENING 5G NETWORKS





1. SYN FLOOD

A SYN Flood, often generated by botnets, is designed to consume resources of the
victim server, such as firewall or other perimeter defense elements, in an
attempt to overwhelm its capacity limits and bring it down. The target receives
SYN packets at very high rates which rapidly fill up its connection state table,
resulting in disconnections, dropping of legitimate traffic packets, or even
worse – element reboot.



An example of a SYN FLOOD DDoS attack.

 

SYN Floods exploit the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) three-way handshake
process to wreak havoc. The attack floods multiple TCP ports on the target system
with SYN messages requesting to initiate a connection between the source system
and the target system. The target responds with a SYN-ACK message for each SYN
message it receives and temporarily opens a communications port for the
requested connection while it waits for a final ACK message from the source in
response to each SYN-ACK message. The attacker never sends the final ACK and
therefore the connection is never completed. The temporary connection will
eventually time out and be closed, but not before the target system is
overwhelmed with incomplete connections accumulated in its state table.

 


2. UDP FLOOD

In a UDP Flood, attackers send small spoofed UDP packets at a high rate to
random ports on the victim’s system using a large range of source IPs. This
consumes essential network element resources on the victim’s network which are
overwhelmed by the large number of incoming UDP packets. Often victim servers
start to reply back with ICMP destination unreachable packets.

An example of a UDB FLOOD DDoS attack.

 

UDP attacks are difficult to detect and block because they often do not match a
consistent pattern and are therefore effective in exhausting network resources
until they go offline.

 


3. UDP FRAGMENTATION

UDP Fragmentation attacks send large UDP packets (1500+ bytes) which consume
more network bandwidth.

An example of a UDB FRAGMENTATION DDoS attack.

Since the fragmented packets usually cannot be reassembled, they consume
significant resources on stateful devices such as firewalls along the traffic
path. When combined with other types of flood attacks, this may result in drop
of legitimate traffic by the destination server being flooded.

 


4. DNS FLOOD

A DNS Flood sends spoofed DNS requests at a high packet rate and from a wide
range of source IP addresses to the target network. Since the requests appear to
be valid, the victim’s DNS servers respond to all the spoofed requests, and
their capacity can be overwhelmed by the sheer number of requests.

An example of a DNS FLOOD DDoS attack.

This attack consumes large amounts of bandwidth and other network resources.
Eventually, it exhausts the DNS infrastructure until it goes down, taking the
victim’s Internet access (WWW) and offline hosted sites with it.

 


WHEN IT COMES TO DDOS, NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT

DDoS attacks are here to stay. They keep getting bigger, more frequent, and
increasingly sophisticated. Current strategies can’t keep up. With 5G, virtually
everyone is vulnerable, and things are only going to get worse.

types mentioned above, check out the Glossary of Common DDoS Attacks. You can
