Re: RTBH and Flowspec Measurements - Stop guessing when the attack will over

Do I read it right that there is no workaround, but the solution is to
upgrade to an updated version which include the fix?


"Upgrade to fixed code" is the most common solution for every vendor.

To answer 'are they still vulnerable', IF someone is running one of the
listed versions, AND they have flowspec enabled, there is exposure.

The solution is just above the workaround. From the same page posted.

*Solution:*

The following software releases have been updated to resolve this specific
issue:

Junos OS: 15.1R7-S8, 15.1X49-D240, 17.3R3-S10, 17.4R2-S12, 17.4R3-S4,
18.1R3-S12, 18.2R2-S8, 18.2R3-S6, 18.3R3-S4, 18.4R1-S8, 18.4R2-S6,

It has a cvss score of 10.0 which is the highest.



Is Juniper still vulnerable or not?



Thanks

You forgot to mention software bugs:

Note what Juniper states:


*Workaround:There are no viable workarounds for this issue*

But, this still does not helps to find a solution do an organization A
that sends some flowspec our RTBH to organization B(presuming organization
B will accept that),  and organization B do some reports of what is match
with that flowspec or RTBH.

That, in my opinion, is the only way to stop guessing how long will an
attack will last, and start to define the end of a flowspec/RTBH action
based on real information related to that.
I want to close the feedback loop.

Personally, I would absolutely, positively, never ever under any
circumstances provide access to a 3rd party company to push a FlowSpec rule
or trigger RTBH on my networks. No way.  You would be handing over a
nuclear trigger and saying "Please break me at my earliest inconvenience."

OK, but do you know any company the sells de Flowspec as a service, in the
way that the Attack Identifications are not made by their equipment, just
receiving de BGP-FlowSpec and applying that rules on that equipments... And
even then give back to the customer some way to access those statistics?

I just know one or two that do that, and(sadly) they do it on fancy web
reports or PDFs.
Without any chance of using that as structured data do feedback the
anomaly detection tools to determine if already it is the time to remove
that Flowsperc rule.

What I'm looking for is something like:
A) XML/JSON/CSV files streamed to my equipment from the Flowspec Upstream
Equipments saying "Heepend that, that, and that." Almost in real time.
B) NetFlow/IPFIX/SFlow streamed to my equipment from the Upstream
Equipment, restricted to the DST-Address that matches to the IP blocks that
were involved to the Flowspec or RTBH that I Annouced to then.
C) Any other idea that does the job of gives me the visibility of what is
happening with FlowSpec-rules, or RTBH on theyr network.

Or even know if already there is a solution to that and I'm trying to
invent the wheel.



Many flow telemetry export implementations on routers/layer3 switches
report both passed & dropped traffic on a continuous basis for DDoS
detection/classification/traceback.



It's also possible to combine the detection/classification/traceback &
flowspec trigger functions.



[Full disclosure: I work for a vendor of such systems.]
