In dieser Arbeit werden die Bedrohungen für ein lokales IPv6 Netzwerk, mit besonderem Hinblick auf das neu eingeführte Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), analysiert. Dabei wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie ein IPv6 Netz gegen lokale Angriffe geschützt werden kann. Zunächst werden mögliche Angriffe auf das Netzwerk beschrieben. Gegen die dann jeweils Maßnahmen vorgestellt werden. Die Funktionsweise der Maßnahmen wird erläutert und die mit Einführung sowie Betrieb verbundenen Kosten und Nutzen eingeordnet. Darauf basierend wird eine Bewertung der Maßnahmen durchgeführt, um konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen zum sicheren Betrieb von IPv6 Netzen in der Praxis zu geben. In der Bewertung wird deutlich, dass ein Großteil der Maßnahmen noch nicht ausgereift oder nur bedingt praktisch anwendbar erscheint. Reaktive Maßnahmen wie NDPMon eignen sich dabei nach Ergebnissen der Analyse am besten zur Absicherung von NDP Verkehr. Um die Integration von NDPMon durch eine einheitliche Plattform zu erleichern, wird ein Einsatzbeispiel auf Basis des ARM-Einplatinencomputer Raspberry Pi beschrieben. Abgeschlossen wird die Arbeit mit einem Fazit zur lokalen Absicherung von IPv6 Netzwerken und den damit verbundenen Herausforderungen, sowie einem kurzen Ausblick auf zukünftige Entwicklungen im Bezug auf Schutzmaßnahmen.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, it is becoming increasingly important for organizations to have a Security Operations Center (SOC) in place to effectively defend against them. However, building and maintaining a SOC can be a daunting task without clear guidelines, policies, and procedures in place. Additionally, most current SOC solutions used by organizations are outdated, lack key features and integrations, and are expensive to maintain and upgrade. Moreover, proprietary solutions can lead to vendor lock-in, making it difficult to switch to a different solution in the future.
To address these challenges, this thesis proposes a comprehensive SOC framework and an open-source SOC solution that provides organizations with a flexible and cost-effective way to defend against modern cyber threats. The research methodology involved conducting a thorough literature review of existing literature and research on building and maintaining a SOC, including using SOC as a service. The data collected from the literature review was analyzed to identify common themes, challenges, and best practices for building and maintaining a SOC.
Based on the data collected, a comprehensive framework for building and maintaining a SOC was developed. The framework addresses essential areas such as the scope and purpose of the SOC, governance and leadership, staffing and skills, technologies and tools, processes and procedures, service level agreements (SLAs), and evaluation and measurement. This framework provides organizations with the necessary guidance and resources to establish and effectively operate a SOC, as well as a reference for evaluating the service provided by SOC service providers.
In addition to the SOC framework, a modern open-source SOC solution was developed, which emphasizes several key measures to help organizations defend against modern cyber threats. These measures include real-time, actionable threat intelligence, rapid and effective incident response, continuous security monitoring and alerting, automation, integration, and customization. The use of open-source technologies and a modular architecture makes the solution cost-effective, allowing organizations to scale it up or down as needed.
Overall, the proposed SOC framework and open-source SOC solution provide organizations with a comprehensive and systematic approach for building and maintaining a SOC that is aligned with the needs and objectives of the organization. The open-source SOC solution provides a flexible and cost-effective way to defend against modern cyber threats, helping organizations to effectively operate their SOC and reduce their risk of security incidents and breaches.
This work addresses the conceptualization, design, and implementation of an Application Programming Interface (API) for the Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) 2.0, introducing another method for distributing CSAF documents in addition to two already existing methods. These don't allow the use of flexible queries as well as filtering, which makes it difficult for operators of software and hardware to use CSAF. An API is intended to simplify this process and thus advance the automation goal of CSAF.
First, it is evaluated whether the current standard allows the implementation of an API. Any conflicts are highlighted and suggestions for standard adaptations are made. Based on these results, the API is designed to meet the previously defined requirements. Subsequently, a proof of concept is successfully developed according to the design and extensively tested with specially prepared test data. Finally, the results and the necessary standard adjustments are summarized and justified.
The conceptual design and the implementation were successfully completed. However, during the implementation of the proof of concept, some routes could not be fully implemented.
Durch die Fortschritte im Bereich der Quantencomputer rückt der Zeitpunkt näher, dass Quantencomputer die bestehenden mathematischen Probleme lösen können, welche in den aktuellen Public-Key-Verschlüsselungsverfahren verwendet werden. Als Reaktion darauf wurde ein Standardisierungsprozess für quantensichere Public-Key-Verschlüsselungsverfahren gestartet. Diese Arbeit analysiert diese und vergleicht sie untereinander, um Stärken und Schwächen der einzelnen Verfahren aufzuzeigen.
