## Blocked?

- How to react to having your network connection blocked.

## External Blocks
Applied at Border Router
Autoblocker: automated tool
Internal Blocks
Applied to systems vulnerable to bad guys, viri and worms
Declared Critical Vulnerabilities
Applied to systems already infected
At request of FCIRT
Requires FCIRT approval for removal

- Applied at Border Router
- Autoblocker: automated tool
- Internal Blocks
- Applied to systems vulnerable to bad guys, viri and worms
- Declared Critical Vulnerabilities
- Applied to systems already infected
- At request of FCIRT
- Requires FCIRT approval for removal

- Blocking Strategies

## Blocked by Autoblocker

- Automated utility
- Blocks installed at the border router
- Outbound system behavior that triggers the Autoblocker:
- Multiple systems accessed in short time
- Multiple ports accessed on single system
- Outbound block triggers E-mail to:
- User or system administrator
- Nightwatch

## Blocked by Autoblocker

- Autoblocker usually triggered by:
- Infected (virus) systems
- Peer-to-Peer file sharing
- Online gaming
- Web search engines scanning internal web sites (use robots.txt to disable indexing)
- When the bad identified behavior stops, block automatically removed 30 minutes after the triggering behavior has stopped

## Vulnerability (internal) Blocks

- Scanners look for systems with critical vulnerabilities
- <date/time>_[http://](http://computing.fnal.gov/security/CriticalVuln/)__[computing.fnal.gov/security/CriticalVuln](http://computing.fnal.gov/security/CriticalVuln/)__[/](http://computing.fnal.gov/security/CriticalVuln/)_
- Looks for vulnerability, not absence of patch
- Busy subnets scanned more frequently
- Mail sent with vulnerabilities found
- Vulnerability triggers E-mail to:
- Registered system administrator

## Vulnerability (internal) Blocks

- Summary mail to Nightwatch twice a day
- Manually select candidates for blocking
- Immediate if multiple vulnerabilities
- Immediate if no contact or no E-mail address for system administrator
- Otherwise allow ~24 hours to fix problem after first time system is on list
*To be automated in the future*

## Vulnerability (internal) Blocks

- Manually select nodes to unblock
- User must send mail to Nightwatch stating problem has been fixed and including identification of the system
- Please do this for nodes with critical vulnerabilities even if not blocked
- Current block lists checked manually by CST before unblocking
- List of Blocked nodes at:
- http://www-dcn.fnal.gov/~netadmin/blocked/

## Vulnerability (internal) Blocks

- List of block/unblock nodes sent to Data Communications for processing
- Into ACLs for routers
- Done twice a day (morning and afternoon) only (and only during work days now)
*To be automated and running 24x7 in future*
- Nodes blocked Friday afternoon will **NOT** be unblocked until Monday morning

## Vulnerability (internal) Blocks

- Make sure someone is registered as system administrator with a valid E-mail address
- Promptly install the necessary patches or configuration changes
- Send mail to Nightwatch after correction and include identification of the system

## Exploratory Holes in the PA

## Monitoring Questions

- What are the current levels of Hg, Pb, and other metals in the rivers of the OZAR?
- Are metals concentrations increasing?
- Are river biota accumulating Pb, Hg, or other potentially toxic elemental contaminants?
- Are individuals and populations of metal-sensitive river biota potentially being affected by metals?
- Do metals concentrations represent a threat to human fish consumers?

## Tasks

- Review and summarize pertinent literature and available knowledge about status, trends, inventory and monitoring methods and designs, transport pathways, and ecological and human health effects of elemental contaminants.
- Prepare draft monitoring protocol & SOPs for elemental contaminants in identified matrices; develop a budget for pilot implementation.
- Determine metals concentrations in aquatic habitats, biota, or both establish current conditions*.*
- Perform a detailed statistical analysis of the result to determine optimal sampling strategies.
- Revise monitoring protocols and SOPs as needed; prepare Final Report.

## Flood Safety

**It may just be a whole lot deeper than what you think!**
**Remember, boats float, cars don’t.**

## Flood Safety

**Flood Safety**

** ****Never cross through water covering the road unless absolutely sure the water depth is very shallow, the water is not moving, and the roadway is still intact. If the water covering a road is muddy (as it will be in most cases), water depth and road conditions will be hard to determine. In this case, turn around and find an alternate route. **
** ****Water-filled roadway dips are difficult to see at night. Slow down! Hydroplaning is a real threat.**
** ****Two feet of running water can pick up and carry most vehicles (including trucks and SUVs).**
** ****Never underestimate the incredible power and force of fast moving water.**
** ****If water levels are up to a bridge, do not cross it as it may be damaged and unable to support the weight of your vehicle.**

## Don’t become another flood death statistic

**Story County, IA**

**Don’t become another flood death statistic**

- _[http://tadd.weather.gov](http://tadd.weather.gov/)_

**Notes:**
Its really simple. Turn around. Don’t drown. Many flood deaths occur because motorists drive past barricades warning of potential flooding. Note the barricade on the road in the above picture.

## Overview of  LDRD Read Out Card (ROC)

- Anuj K. Purwar
- August 29, 2006

- Anuj K. Purwar

- August 29, 2006

## ROC: the need

-  Sits in the IR near FPIX/sensors.
-  Read data from FPIX, strip off sync word and send it off to FEM by fiber.
-  Implement slow controls for FPIX e.g. channel masks.
-  Interface with calibration system.

- Anuj K. Purwar

- August 29, 2006

## ROC: Specifications

-  To handle 8-chip module => ~36 LVDS channels.
-  Ability to handle 4 lines/FPIX => 555 to 680 Mbps per FPIX.
-  Radiation tolerance ~ 100 kRads and 1.4 x 1012 neutrons/cm2.

- Anuj K. Purwar

- August 29, 2006

## Block diagram for Read Out Card

- Anuj K. Purwar

- August 29, 2006

## Calibration System (by Pat)

- Anuj K. Purwar

- August 29, 2006

## Data Path through ROC

- FPIX Core CLK = 3 x BCO => DCLK = 180 MHz (DDR equivalent).
- 10 hits in Central Au+Au  => 3.3 BCO CLK latency in read out.
- ROC to fiber latency ~ 0.6 BCO CLK.

- Fiber

- FPIX
- DCLK = 180 MHz

- ROC
- Combines n-FPIX

- 28-bit word

- Serdes/Fiber

- Anuj K. Purwar

- August 29, 2006

## Bandwidth requirements

- DCLK = 180 MHz => 680 Mbps/FPIX.
- ROC needs to handle N x 680 Mbps.
-  If fiber speed ~ 3 Gbps, then  4 FPIX/fiber.
- If greater latency permitted, then 8 FPIX/fiber (hits stored on FIFO).

- Anuj K. Purwar

- August 29, 2006

## Actel ProASIC3 Test Board

- ProASIC3 A3P250 chip.
- 34 LVDS I/O.
- Flash based config memory.
- All FPGA pins available.
- FIFO speed: 350 MHz (240 MHz required for 8 chip module).

- Anuj K. Purwar

- August 29, 2006

## Current status

- Two designs:
- 1 FPIX design (implements DDR and basic download capability including FFR, Alines etc.
- 4 FPIX design implements only readout (using multiplexer/FIFO running at 120 MHz).
- Working on “pre-prototype” PCB with appropriate connectors and LVDS terminations to test design 1 and 2.

- Anuj K. Purwar

- August 29, 2006

## To Do

- Which fiber/serializer combination?
- How to implement slow controls (including GTM) over 1 fiber?
- Interface with calibration system.
- Prototype board design with bigger ProASIC3, EPROM for FPIX download info and Serdes/Fiber combo for 8 chip module.

## mayapplePodophyllum  peltatum  L.Synonyms:  Anapodophyllum  peltatum,   Podophyllum  callicarpum, P.  montanum,  P.  pubescens.Other common names:  American mandrake, mandrake, wild mandrake, wild lemon, ground lemon, hog apple, devil’s apple, Indian apple, raccoon berry, duck’s foot, umbrella plant, umbrella leaf, vegetable calomel, American podofili, pomme de mai, podophylle pelte.

**FOOD:**
- Only the ripe fruit berry should be used as food.  Unripe fruit acts as a strong laxative and all other parts of the plant are toxic.  The fruit can be eaten raw, cooked or made into jams, jellies, marmalades, pies, tarts, etc.  The fruit was often dried for consumption during the winter months.
**CULTURALLY:**
- The Cherokees soaked corn seed in the root juice prior to planting.  This acted as an insecticide, fungicide and rodenticide.  Settlers used a wettable powder made from boiling and grinding the leaves onto garden crops to kill insects, much like a modern insecticide.
- Due to its use in current pharmaceutical products this plant is cultivated and grown as a crop.

## mayapple

**MEDICINALLY:**
- The Cherokees ate the root to get rid of intestinal worms and boiled it to eat as a purgative.  They also dehydrated the root sap, rolled it up into pills and took them for constipation.  Freshly squeezed root juice was dropped into the ears for earaches and to cure deafness.  The root was rubbed on warts to remove them.
- Misuse of this plant has caused toxic reactions. These include salivation, stomachaches, diarrhea, vomiting, headaches, fever, excitement, coma and death.  Most cases of poisoning have come from the handling of pharmaceutical extracts.  Workers in the extraction process commonly develop dermatitis.
- Because it has abortifacient properties it is discouraged for use by pregnant women.  It is undergoing research for many beneficial properties.  Studies have shown it to inhibit the replication of measles and herpes.  A derivative is currently used in the treatment of small-cell lung and  testicular cancer.

## Access Grid Authorization

- Thomas Uram
- _[turam@mcs.anl.gov](mailto:turam@mcs.anl.gov)_
- Argonne National Laboratory

## Agenda

- Authorization Landscape
- Role-based Authorization
- AuthorizationManager API
- Examples and exercises

## Landscape

- PKI
- Every user has a unique certificate
- Web Services
- Web-accessible components of the AG software are exposed via SOAP over GSI
- GSI connections are authenticated using certificates
- User’s identity subject to verification by server
- Server’s identity subject to verification by user
- Methods are distinguished by their callability
- Administrator methods
- Venue configuration
- User methods
- Venue entry

## Landscape

- Multicast

## Role-based Authorization

- Abstraction layer between objects and persons who will access them
- Similar to *nix file system concept
- Each object has a list of actions that can be performed on it (rwx)
- Each action has a list of groups which are allowed to call it
- Each group has a list of members (/etc/group)

## Roles

- Roles are user groups
- Required roles
- Administrator
- User
- Custom roles
- Venue.AllowedEntry
- Venue.RegisteredUsers

## Actions

- Actions define operations on web services
- In *nix file system analog, read/write/execute are Actions
- Actions currently map one-to-one to web service methods
- VenueServer.GetVenues
- Venue.GetStreams

## Subjects

- Subject class holds information about a user (in particular, the user’s distinguished name)

## Policies

- An authorization policy describes the role/action/subject relationships in force for a service
- The policy for a service is represented in XML
- The policy can be modified wholesale, or through individual calls
- Services define default policies

## Authorization UI

- VenueServer

## Authorization UI

- Venue

## AuthorizationManager

- AccessGrid.Security.AuthorizationManager
- Exposes interfaces for modifying the authorization policy for a service
- Used in authorization callback registered with SOAP server

## AuthorizationManager API

## Future work

- Finer-grained authorization
- Apply to objects in Venue
- Permit authorization of individuals, not just groups
- Consider integrating a well-established authorization framework

## Example: List defined Roles

- #!/usr/bin/python2
- import sys
- from AccessGrid.Toolkit import CmdlineApplication
- from AccessGrid.Venue import VenueIW
- from AccessGrid.Security.AuthorizationManager import AuthorizationManagerIW
- url = sys.argv[1]
- # Create and initialize application
- app = CmdlineApplication()
- app.Initialize('ListRoles')
- # Get url for authorization manager and create interface wrapper
- v = VenueIW(url)
- amurl = v.GetAuthorizationManager()
- authManager = AuthorizationManagerIW(amurl)
- # Get roles from venue and process
- roleList = authManager.ListRoles()
- for role in roleList:
-     print role.name

## Exercise: List subjects in Roles

## Example: Venue ACL manager

- 1) Glycopeptides
- Select for resistance
- Not the best alternative
- Presence of undetected non-susceptible strains
- 2) Daptomycin
- --Selects for resistance on therapy (Julian et al. 2007: AAC, 51: 3445-3448)
- --Not optimally active against VISA
- --Not approved for left-sided endocarditis
- 3) Quinupristin/Dalfopristin
- 	--Toxicity
- 4) Linezolid
- 	--Toxicity with long-term therapy
- 5) Tigecycline:
- 	--Toxicity
- 6) SXT
- 	--Still active against C-MRSA but this will change
