How to prevent internal email spoofing in an Exchange organization

Ensuring email security might be one of the most important and most difficult tasks an administrator must face. Every day, servers process thousands of emails and controlling such a big mail flow is not easy. No wonder hackers focus on this channel when they plan attacks. They use various tricks to make users think that opening a suspicious attachment is a good idea.

One of the tricks they use is email spoofing.

Prevent Internal Spoofing in Exchange organization

What is email spoofing?

Email spoofing is a very popular attack method. The sender modifies message headers so that emails appear as sent from someone else. Hackers use it, for example, to impersonate employees of a company to obtain login credentials, personal data, or other confidential information. Two most common ways to protect your organization from external spoofing attacks are:

  • An SPF record – a list of IP addresses which are authorized to send emails from a domain.
  • DKIM check – an email authentication method. It enables you to sign and verify email messages using public and private keys. The public keys, published in the DNS records are used to verify if the message comes from the original sender. You cannot configure it on the Exchange Server natively – you require a plugin for SMTP gateway.

Both ways give good results when fighting with external spoofing. The problem starts when we come across internal spoofing when one employee tries to impersonate a colleague. It might be a joke, or to achieve some benefits – either way, it can sabotage a company in a number of ways:

  • Cause chaos,
  • Induce material damage,
  • Harm data integrity,
  • Damage the company reputation.

How to find a Global Catalog server?

With DNS Requests (NSLOOKUP)

In an Active Directory environment, all Global Catalogs are anchored in DNS . There is a separate subdomain ‘GC._msdcs ….’ in the namespace of the AD root domain (please remember: the global catalog does not refer to individual domains, but to the entire forest). So if your root domain in the forest is e.g. example.root, then you get a list of all GCs with this command:

C:\> nslookup gc._msdcs.example.root

Server:  dns01.example.root
Address:  10.127.60.3

Name:  gc._msdcs.example.root
Adresses:  10.127.60.100
10.127.60.102
10.127.60.103
10.127.77.1
10.127.77.130
10.127.93.2
10.127.93.12
192.168.35.1

The container _msdcs contains the infrastructural DNS records of the Active Directory. This is also where all the SRVservice records for the domain controllers are stored.

With DSQUERY

You can also use the standard command line tool DSQUERY for searching GCs. The search can be limited to certain domains or AD sites. However, you must be authenticated in the regarding forest and DSQUERY must be available on your machine (this is usually the case on Widows servers). As a result, the server objects in the Configuration partition is displayed:

C:\> dsquery server -isgc

“CN=DC001,CN=Servers,CN=Site-Sidney,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=example,DC=root”
“CN=DC014,CN=Servers,CN=Site-Auckland,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=example,DC=root”

C:\> dsquery server -isgc -domain "dev.example.com"

C:\> dsquery server -isgc -site "Site-Auckland"

Per Script with an LDAP filter
In the last section we have seen that the global catalog servers are present in the configuration partition of the directory as specific objects. Her we can look for them with our own script. These servers have set the first bit in their ‘options’ attribute. All we need is the appropriate LDAP filter:

ldapFilter = "(&(objectClass=nTDSDSA)(options:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=1))"

Set rootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE")
configDN =   rootDSE.Get("configurationNamingContext")

Set ado = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
ado.Provider = "ADSDSOObject"
ado.Open "ADSearch"
Set objectList =   ado.Execute("<LDAP://" &configDN& ">;" & ldapFilter & ";distinguishedName;subtree")

While Not objectList.EOF
nTSDSA = objectList.Fields("distinguishedName")
serverDN = Mid(nTSDSA, 18)                                         'CN=NTDS Settings abschneiden => Server Objekt
Set serverObj = GetObject("LDAP://" & serverDN )

WScript.Echo serverObj.dNSHostName

objectList.MoveNext

Speed comparison between USB 2.0, USB 3.0, SATA and Firewire

The theoretical maximums are as follows:

In bits per second, that is:

  • USB 1.1 = 12 Mbit/s
  • Firefire 400 = 400 Mbit/s
  • USB 2.0 = 480 Mbit/s
  • FireWire 800 = 800 Mbit/s
  • USB 3.0 = 5 Gbit/s
  • USB 3.1 = 10 Gbit/s
  • eSATA = Up to 6 Gbit/s (750 MB/s) right now as it depend on the internal SATA chip.
  • Thunderbolt = 10 Gbit/s × 2 (2 channels)
  • Thunderbolt 2 = 20 Gbit/s
  • Thunderbolt 3 = 40 Gbit/s

In Bytes per second, that is:

  • USB 1.1 = 1.5 MB/s
  • Firefire 400 = 50 MB/s
  • USB 2.0 = 60 MB/s
  • FireWire 800 = 100 MB/s
  • USB 3.0 = 625 MB/s
  • USB 3.1 = 1.21 GB/s
  • eSATA = 750 MB/s
  • Thunderbolt = 1.25 GB/s × 2 (2 channels)
  • Thunderbolt 2 = 2.5 GB/s

However, this does not provide the actual answer. As an example, FireWire 400 is a serial connection. The entire 400 Mbps is available for data transfer. USB 2.0 sends command and control data through the same connection the data uses limiting the 480 Mbps connection to 380 to 400 Mbps. When considering throughput the list looks entirely different.

IP Ratings (Ingress Protection)

IP_Code_ProtectionTwo-digit number established by the International Electro Technical Commission, is used to provide an Ingress Protection rating to a piece of electronic equipment or to an enclosure for electronic equipment.

The protection class after EN60529 are indicated by short symbols that consist of the two code letters IP and a code numeral for the amount of the protection.

Example: IP65 (NEMA 4)
The two digits represent different forms of environmental influence:
• The first digit represents protection against ingress of solid objects.
• The second digit represents protection against ingress of liquids.

The larger the value of each digit, the greater the protection. As an example, a product rated IP54 would be better protected against environmental factors than another similar product rated as IP42.
