doubleguard detecting intrusions in multitier web applications source code
ABSTRACT:
Internet services and applications have become an inextricable part of daily life, enabling communication and the management of personal information from anywhere. To accommodate this increase in application and data complexity, web services have moved to a multitier design wherein the web server runs the application front-end logic and data are outsourced to a database or file server. In this paper, we present Double Guard, an IDS system that models the network behavior of user sessions across both the front-end web server and the back-end database. By monitoring both web and subsequent database requests, we are able to ferret out attacks that independent IDS would not be able to identify. Furthermore, we quantify the limitations of any multitier IDS in terms of training sessions and functionality coverage. We implemented Double Guard using an Apache web server with MySQL and lightweight virtualization. We then collected and processed real-world traffic over a 15-day period of system deployment in both dynamic and static web applications. Finally, using DoubleGuard, we were able to expose a wide range of attacks with 100 percent accuracy while maintaining 0 percent false positives for static web services and 0.6 percent false positives for dynamic web services.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
To show the existing system, we initially set up our threat model to include our assumptions and the types of attacks we are aiming to protect against. We assume that both the web and the database servers are vulnerable.
Attacks are network-borne and come from the web clients; they can launch application-layer attacks to compromise the web servers they are connecting to. The attackers can bypass the web server to directly attack the database server.
We assume that the attacks can neither be detected nor prevented by the current web server IDS, that attacker may take over the web server after the attack, and that afterwards they can obtain full control of the web server to launch subsequent attacks.
For example, the attackers could modify the application logic of the web applications, eavesdrop or hijack other users’ web requests, or intercept and modify the database queries to steal sensitive data beyond their privileges.
PROPOSED SYSTEM:
Some previous approaches have detected intrusions or vulnerabilities by statically analyzing the source code or executables. Others dynamically track the information flow to understand taint propagations and detect intrusions. In DoubleGuard, the new container-based web server architecture enables us to separate the different information flows by each session. This provides a means of tracking the information flow from the web server to the database server for each session. Our approach also does not require us to analyze the source code or know the application logic. For the static web page, our DoubleGuard approach does not require application logic for building a model. However, as we will discuss, although we do not require the full application logic for dynamic web services, we do need to know the basic user operations in order to model normal behavior.
