Elegant Attacks Against M2M


16/85

Attack methods

Firmware Over The Air (FOTA)

Long Range Baseband Compromise

Access Point Name (APN) Private Networkcompromise

17/85

FOTA Hacking?


18/85

FOTA

A methodology for

Devising a firmware patch/update

Securely packaging the patch/update

Shipping it OTA to be applied


19/85

FOTA Attacks Benefits

Elegant

Mass compromise of multiple types of devices Multiple vendors use the same baseband

Negatives Very chip specific

Impacts the update lifecycle Requires specialized firmware Corner cases = potential detection FOTA compromise != Application compromise FOTA may not be used in specific M2M deployments

20/85

FOTA Conclusion?


21/85


22/85

So you thought baseband attacks were

local only, eh?


23/85

Long Range Baseband Compromise Yep, Basebands have TCP/IP stacks Oh, and these too

HTTP FTP DNS ICMP

TCP client/server UDP client/server POP3 SMTP

24/85

Long Range Baseband Attacks Benefits

Elegant

Mass persistent compromise Doesnt mess up firmware updates Backdoors are light weight Potential detection is slim to none

Negatives Very chip specific Requires zero-day Large time to deployment Target could be Java VM, could be C/C++

Negatives

Uninteresting

You dont need to see a conclusion for

this one.


30/85

So, what shouldwe do?
mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]


31/85

Common M2M Example from Microchip


32/85

Find Architectural Commonalities Baseband

modules must be approved

The approved list ispublic fewfeatures cant driveApplication Logic

Microcontrollers Small RAM Small Code Space (flash) Minimal security surface (if any)
mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]


33/85

Find Architectural Commonalities Communication

Network Comm = Baseband

Peripheral Comm = uC

Comm between Baseband & uC = UART

Cryptographic Capability Onlysome Basebands provide HTTPS/SSL Usually only Java VM capable

uC is usually baked (or non-existent)

34/85

Basebands Accept Hayes AT For network requests

AT+UHTTPC

AT^SISS

AT^USORF

For Incoming/Outgoing SMS AT+CMGL

35/85

The PayloadMayBe Encrypted If the payload is encrypted

Finite ways the Application can generate a key

IMSI

GSM Timestamp

IMEI

Static Secret

Value from Network (Data or SMS)

Some applications dont even encrypt


36/85

If encrypted, how do we analyze?


37/85

How do we extract it? Use datasheet to find pins

Dont have the uC datasheet?

Most baseband datasheets are public

Use multimeter to

trace baseband UART -> uC UART

Trace VCC, VSS = Now you know 4 pins on your unknown uC

Scan leftovers for JTAG/etc


38/85

How do we extract it? Logic Analyzer

Tap the UART pins

Find test pads, if available

Solder only when necessary (limit damage)

Most basebands will only talk

Async Serial 9600 8N1 Async Serial 115200 8N1

Process data at both speeds

41/85

Next, we reverse.


42/85

Its not always easy Difficult to determine crypto keys

Protocol may be dynamic

Nonces may get in the way

Disassembling & Emulating = Easy Few registers (X, Y, PC, SP, A, C)

Instructions are easy to decode

A common bit represents a type of memory access

No Store, just Load

Emulation requirements are minimal

Inject interrupts as desired Managing the Clock isnt complex

Simple buffer for UART bytes

Building a Fingerprint


56/85

Device Profiling Network fingerprint

Which network provider?

Is it allocated an MSISDN? Is voice allowed? Is SMS allowed? Caller ID? NPA NXX? HLR?

Physical fingerprint Recognizable SIM Baseband Capabilities


57/85

Why Device Profile? SMS is Noisy

Hundreds of thousands of MSISDN

Decrease cost Evade SMS SPAM filters
