Lab 9: VPNs IPSec Remote Access VPN

Transcription

1 Lab 9: VPNs IPSec Remote Access VPN Rich Macfarlane 2015 Aim: Details The aim of this lab is to introduce Virtual Private Network (VPN) concepts, using an IPSec remote access VPN between a remote users system and a perimeter router. This will allow a remote user to access the trusted organisational network securely, over an untrusted network, such as the Internet, and allow us to analyse the setup and some tunnelled traffic. Activities Create Virtual Topology Connect to our vsphere virtual environment at vc2003.napier.ac.uk using a vsphere Client. Navigate to the Module folder such as VMs & Templates>Production>CSN11111/8. You will be assigned a group folder to work with which contains the VMs needed for the lab (check Moodle for the Groups and IP Addressing for each Group). Lab VMs: Windows7 VM running GNS3, a Windows Windows2003 VM running VPN Client application. You can create a new project for the Lab, or a preconfigured starting project should be in the Projects folder. If you wish to start with that just click Recent Projects button and select lab9_start, then save as a project called lab9 or suchlike (save as, before you power on devices). The topology, shown below, mimics an organisation and a remote User with the 10.1.Z,0 network being the untrusted Internet. The R2 Router will be configured to provide VPN termination for remote users. Starting Topology You will be assigned networks to address the host and router interfaces see Moodle for: X.0/24, Y.0/24 and 10.1.Z.0/24 Additionally configure the MAC Address on the R1 Router f0/1 interface with the following commands, and using the format ca0 module code grpno 01 such as the following for csn11118 group 99: R1(config)# int fa0/1 R1(config-if)# mac-address ca Network Security VPNs: IPSec Remote Access VPN Rich Macfarlane 1

2 THE CORRECT ADDRESSING MUST BE USED BY EACH STUDENT AS WE ARE SHARING VIRTUAL NETWORKS. ANNOTATE YOUR DIAGRAM/TAKE NOTE OF THE ADDRESS RANGES FOR YOUR GRP. PLEASE ONLY USE GROUP VMs AND NETWORK IP ADDRESSES ASSIGNED TO YOUR GROUP. PLEASE DO NOT USE YOUR OWN ADDRESSES OR THE LAB DEMO ADDRESSES IN THIS DOCUMENT Test Connectivity Test connectivity, from each router, to each local router interface, and each of the other routers interfaces, and then the Remote user Windows VM, as shown below. For example, from R2: To test connectivity from the X.0 network, again an extended ping can be used. For example, from the R2 router: R2# ping Protocol [ip]: Target IP address: Y.10 Repeat count [5]: Datagram size [100]: Timeout in seconds [2]: Extended commands [n]: y Source address or interface: X.254 Type of service [0]: Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to Y.10, timeout is 2 seconds: Packet sent with a source address of X.254 Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/34/72 ms R2# Network Security VPNs: IPSec Remote Access VPN Rich Macfarlane 2

3 Q. Where the pings successful? YES/NO If not, troubleshoot the configuration, until connectivity is achieved. Remember to save R1 and R2 running configurations to the routers NVRAM, and then save the GNS3 project is you want to use later/back them up. To test connectivity from the Remote User to the company s HQ network, ping and traceroute can be used: Q. Was the connectivity testing successful? If not, troubleshoot the configuration, until connectivity is achieved Configure IPSec Remote Access VPN Server on R2 IPSec provides strong VPN security, using a suite of cryptographic security standards. It provides Authentication and Encryption to the IP layer, as well as transparently to the layers above. Routers, Firewalls and hosts can be configured as IPSec VPN endpoints (sometimes called VPN Terminators). A Cisco VPN Server will be configured on the R2 Perimeter Router. It can manage IPSec VPN policies, and push them out to VPN Clients on demand. This type of Cisco VPN Server could be configured on Routers, ASA security devices, or Cisco VPN concentrator devices. Authentication/Access Control for Client VPN Policy Lookup using Local AAA AAA is used to authenticate a remote user, before a VPN policy is pushed to their VPN endpoint (The remote user Windows VM in this case), and for authorisation for network access. Use the following commands in Privileged command mode, to set up VPN policy lookup. Start the AAA services on the router: R2# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. R2(config)# aaa new-model Configure an authentication list VPNAUTHEN for the VPN connection login, to use the local AAA users accounts: R2(config)# aaa authentication login VPNAUTHEN local Network Security VPNs: IPSec Remote Access VPN Rich Macfarlane 3

4 Configure an authorisation list VPNAUTHOR for the VPN connection using the network, to use the local AAA users accounts: R2(config)# aaa authorization network VPNAUTHOR local Define User Accounts in the local user account db: R2(config)# username rich secret richpass R2(config)# username bob secret bobpass Check the configuration of AAA is correct, by viewing the router configuration. Q. Where will the router look for user names and passwords to authenticate remote VPN clients? Q. How have the user passwords been protected? Configure Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Phase I Parameters TUNNEL SETUP CONFIG IKE facilitates the IPSec connections via Security Associations (SA). It manages and exchanges keys, the hash algorithms, and the IPSec SA. To configure IKE on Cisco devices, the crypto isakmp command is used to create an IKE policy with a priority of 3 (1 is the highest). Each IKE policy is used to create a different VPN tunnel, as the router may be the end point for several different VPNs. R2(config)# crypto isakmp policy 3 Now we are in ISAKMP policy configuration command mode, shown by the change in prompt. Next, we define that Pre-shared keys will be used to authenticate the peers at the end points of the VPN tunnel. The pre-shared keys are used along with a hash algorithm for HMAC authentication of the sender in IKE phase I. R2(config-isakmp)# authentication pre-share Define the hash algorithm which will be used in the authentication process. R2(config-isakmp)# hash md5 Define the key exchange mechanism to be used; the Diffie-Hellman group. The groups represent the length of keys generated: 768 bit Diffie-Hellman is Group 1, 1024 bit is group 2, and 1582 bit is group 3. Diffie-Hellman is used in phase I to exchange secret keys to be used for data encryption. R2(config-isakmp)# group 2 Define the encryption algorithm which will be used for data encryption (other options are des, aes- 256 etc). R2(config-isakmp)# encryption 3des R2(config-isakmp)# exit R2(config)# Network Security VPNs: IPSec Remote Access VPN Rich Macfarlane 4

Secure Hash Standard authentication method: Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Signature Diffie-Hellman group: lifetime: #1 (768 bit) seconds, no volume limit Remote User Group Policy Definition A group of users can be defined, along with a VPN policy which is compatible with the client. The VPN policy defines the VPN attributes pushed out to the VPN client(s). Configure a local pool of IP Addresses to be allocated to VPN clients. In this case we will give the VPN clients addresses on the same inside network subnet (this is not always the case). R2(config)# ip local pool IPPOOL X X.30 Configure a User Group Policy for Remote User VPN clients called REMOTE. R2(config)# crypto isakmp client configuration group REMOTE R2(config-isakmp-group)# Now we are in ISAKMP group configuration command mode, shown by the change in prompt. Add a pre-shared key to the group policy, which will authenticate the VPN client application to the VPN server. R2(config-isakmp-group)# key vpn123 Assign an IP Address pool, which the VPN clients will be assigned from. R2(config-isakmp-group)# pool IPPOOL Define a domain name, and exit ISAKMP group configuration mode. R2(config-isakmp-group)# domain HQ.com R2(config-isakmp-group)# exit View the running configuration to check the Remote User Group Policy has been created successfully (check for typo s).

6 Configure IKE Phase II Parameters DATA ENCRYPTION CONFIG An IPSec Transform Set must now be configured. A transform set specifies the encryption and authentication algorithms used to protect the data within the IPSec VPN tunnel. IKE Phase I is the control of the tunnel, Phase II is the transformation of the data being protected. Create a new transform set REMOTE_USER_SET, which will use the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol, with AES for data encryption and SHA1 HMAC for data integrity. R2(config)# crypto ipsec transform-set REMOTE_USER_SET esp-aes esp-sha-hmac Set IPSec to use Tunnel mode, which means the entire IP Packet will be protected. R2(cfg-crypto-trans)# mode tunnel R2(cfg-crypto-trans)# exit Q. What is the alternative to the ESP protocol? Q. What does the Authentication Header (AH) protocol not provide which ESP does? A Crypto map represents the IPSec configuration for a VPN, and must be created to allow the setup of IKE Phase II Security Associations (SA) for traffic to be protected (1 SA in each direction). Create a crypto map template, using the transform set REMOTE_USER_SET. R2(config)# crypto dynamic-map DYN_MAP 10 R2(config-crypto-map)# set transform-set REMOTE_USER_SET R2(config-crypto-map)# reverse-route R2(config-crypto-map)# exit R2(config)# Create the crypto map REMOTE_USER_MAP, and specify client configuration settings. In this case the router is set to respond to VPN Client requests. R2(config)# crypto map REMOTE_USER_MAP client configuration address respond For the REMOTE_USER_MAP crypto map, specify VPN clients User Authentication. Set the authentication list to VPNAUTHEN we created earlier, to specify that user accounts are stored locally on the router. R2(config)# crypto map REMOTE_USER_MAP client authentication list VPNAUTHEN For the REMOTE_USER_MAP crypto map, allow IKE group policy querying by VPN clients. Set the authorisation list to VPNAUTHOR we created earlier, to specify the policy is stored locally. R2(config)# crypto map REMOTE_USER_MAP isakmp authorization list VPNAUTHOR For the REMOTE_USER_MAP crypto map, set the ipsec-isakmp parameter to specify IKE will be used to establish security associations, and assign the dynamic crypto map template. The number 10 is the sequence number; lower numbered maps are used before higher numbered. R2(config)# crypto map REMOTE_USER_MAP 10 ipsec-isakmp dynamic DYN_MAP Network Security VPNs: IPSec Remote Access VPN Rich Macfarlane 6

7 Assign the IPSEC VPN crypto map to the outside network interface, which our clients will connect to: R2(config)# int s1/0 R2(config-if)# crypto map REMOTE_USER_MAP R2(config-if)# exit *Mar 1 03:50:30.447: %CRYPTO-6-ISAKMP_ON_OFF: ISAKMP is ON Check the IPSec VPN Server configuration, and the interface it s applied on, using the following. R2# show crypto map Crypto Map "REMOTE_USER_MAP" 10 ipsec-isakmp Dynamic map template tag: DYN_MAP Interfaces using crypto map REMOTE_USER_MAP: Serial1/0 Check the IPSec ESP configuration, using the following. R2# show crypto ipsec transform-set Transform set REMOTE_USER_SET: { esp-aes esp-sha-hmac } will negotiate = { Tunnel, } Configure VPN Client on the Remote User System The VPN Client should be installed on the Windows VM.

16 Q. How many packets have been encrypted by the router? Q. What are the end point IP Addresses of the encrypted VPN tunnel? You can review the final VPN server configuration for Router R2 in Appendix B. Explore Crypto Ciphers Power on an Ubuntu VM, and we can explore some ciphers using the OPenSSL crypto library built into Linux. Use the OpenSSL command line tool; first check the help: openssl h Check the available encryption cipher and hash algorithm commands: openssl list-cipher-commands openssl list-messager-digest-commands Check the ciphers available for SSL/TLS use: openssl ciphers Try encrypting with the 3DES cipher similar to the ISAKMP tunnel setup encryption. First create a file payload.txt and add some chars to it such as abcdefg etc. cat the file to check the contents. Then use the openssl enc command to check the encryption algorithms available: openssl enc -h Then use the openssl enc command to encrypt: sudo openssl enc des3 in payload.txt out enc_payload.bin (use vpn123 as passwd) Network Security VPNs: IPSec Remote Access VPN Rich Macfarlane 16

17 cat the file to check the contents. Use the base64 flag to encrypt and output a txt file: sudo openssl enc des3 in payload.txt out enc_payload.txt base64 (use vpn123 as passwd) cat the file to check the contents. Then use the openssl enc command to decrypt: sudo openssl enc d des3 in enc_payload.txt -pass pass:vpn123 base64 Try encrypting files other ciphers such as with the aes cipher used in the VPN tunnel itself.
