- 2. whoami Sr. IT Security Consultant at SecuRing • Consulting all phases of development • penetration tests • high-risk applications and systems Researcher • Hadoop, FOREX, MFP printers, proprietary network protocols
- 3. Agenda Big data nonsenses Crash course on hacking Hadoop installations Ways to protect big data environments Expect some CVEs
- 4. Results summary no account standard user admin user admin privileges data access
- 5. WHAT IS HADOOP? Know your target
- 6. Normal database Users Roles Data Model
- 8. Still normal database scenario CWE-xxx: SQL Injection through license plate http://hackaday.com/2014/04/04/sql-injection-fools-speed-traps-and-clears-your-record/ http://hococonnect.blogspot.com/2015/06/red-light-cameras-in-columbia.html http://8z4.net/images/ocr-technology
- 9. Normal database injection points
- 10. Normal database Users Roles Data Model Clear rules Clear target
- 11. user db, a lot of clients critical banking data, one supplier Anegdote Only one common table Q: Why don’t you split it into 2 dbs with a db link? A: Too much effort and we want to have fast statistics from all data.
- 14. More on Hadoop
- 17. 21 PB of storage in a single HDFS cluster 2000 machines 12 TB per machine (a few machines have 24 TB each) 1200 machines with 8 cores each + 800 machines with 16 cores each 32 GB of RAM per machine 15 map-reduce tasks per machine What is a lot of data?
- 18. Our latest assessment: • 32 machines, 8 cores each • 24TB per machine • 64 GB of RAM per machine • Almost 1 PB disk space and 2TB of RAM What is a lot of data? http://mrrobot.wikia.com/wiki/E_Corp
- 20. RISK ANALYSIS Know your threats
- 21. Who How What Risk analysis
- 22. Business perspective: competitor, script-kiddies, APT Technical perspective: Who? External attacker • Anonymous • Ex-employee Insider • Exployee (with some rights in Hadoop): user, admin • Infected machine, APT
- 23. Who How What Risk analysis
- 24. Full compromise
- 25. Data safety vs. data security
- 26. Q: What will be stored? A: „We do not know what data will be stored!” Typical bank scenario Bigdata analytic says: „People who bought a dashcam are more likely to take a loan for a new car in the next month” For what? All transaction data All sales data All client data http://thewondrous.com/julia-gunthel-worlds-most-flexible-secretary/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/37aara/calculations_intensify/

Apache Ranger attack scenario Target an old Hadoop installation (Apache Ranger 0.4 or XA- Secure v. 3.5.001 ) Network access to Apache Ranger is necessary (either from the internet or local network) Log in with any user and password using XSS in UserAgent You don’t need to escalate privileges, you’re already an admin (after admin opens session tab) Deploy BEEF or whatsoever (CSRF script) to create users and change policies H D A E U
- 67. • Affected version: Apache Ranger v 0.4.0, XA Secure v. 3.5.001 • Both vulnerabilities patched in Ranger v 0.5.0 • For a while developers did a self-full-disclosure -> Apache Ranger patched

- 74. Distros How long does it take to create a new distro version? How many components are outdated at that time? How long does it take to deploy a new distro at a company? How many components are outdated at that time? H D A E U Most cases: • MAJOR – ca. 1 year • MINOR – ca. 3 months • PATCH – ca. 1-2 months (differs much)

- 79. Distros Old components with known issues Default passwords Default configuration • No network level hardening • No HTTP hardening (clickjacking, session mgmt, errors) • Hue uses Django with DEBUG turned on by default • „Hacking virtual appliances” by Jeremy Brown H D A E U
- 81. EXTERNAL INTERFACES For clients or whatsoever
- 83. External • More than 25 internal Apache apps/modules • Vendor/distro specific apps/interfaces • Popular monitoring: Ganglia, Splunk • Auth providers: LDAP, Kerberos, OAuth • Many apps, many targets H D A E U
