Chapter 7. Security
7.1 DDoS Prevention
Learning Objectives
- Configure a DDoS prevention profile
| Device | IP address | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Kali1 | DHCP Client | – |
| FortiGate | Port 1: DHCP Client
Port 2: 192.168.0.1/24, DHCP Server (192.168.0.10-192.168.0.20) |
ICMP-HTTP-HTTPS |
| WebTerm1 (FMC) | 192.168.0.2/24 | – |
| WebTerm2 | DHCP Client | – |
- FortiGate CLI Configuration for port2.
FGVM01TM19008000 # config system interface
FGVM01TM19008000 (interface) # edit port2
FGVM01TM19008000 (port2) # set ip 192.168.0.1/24
FGVM01TM19008000 (port2) # set allowaccess http https ping
FGVM01TM19008000 (port2) # end - Go to Kali and Download the pentmenu repository and run DOS > UDP FLOOD > Enter port1 IP address > Port 443.
Figure 7.2: Download and execute pentmenu script 
Figure 7.3: Running UDP Flood - Go to Policy & Object > IPV4 DOS Policy:
- Name: DOS
- Incoming Interface: Port1
- Source, Destination, Service: all
- L3 Anomalies: Status and Logging: Enable, Action Block
- L4 Anomalies: Status and Logging: Enable, Action Block
Figure 7.4: IPv4 DoS Policy 
Figure 7.5: IPv4 DOS Policy Settings - Now, start the attack again and go to Log & Report > Anomaly.
Figure 7.6: View anomaly report Go to Dashboard > Security > Top Threats and verify your result.
Figure 7.7: Verify result - Go to FortiGate CLI and configure DOS Policy for ICMP_flood as follows:
FGVM01TM19008000 # config firewall DoS-policy
FGVM01TM19008000 (DoS-policy) # edit 2
FGVM01TM19008000 (2) # set interface “port1”
FGVM01TM19008000 (2) # set srcaddr “all”
FGVM01TM19008000 (2) # set dstaddr “all”
FGVM01TM19008000 (2) # set service “ALL”
FGVM01TM19008000 (2) # config anomaly
FGVM01TM19008000 (anomaly) # edit “icmp_flood”
FGVM01TM19008000 (icmp_flood) # set status enable
FGVM01TM19008000 (icmp_flood) # set log enable
FGVM01TM19008000 (icmp_flood) # set quarantine attacker
FGVM01TM19008000 (icmp_flood) # set quarantine-expiry 2m
FGVM01TM19008000 (icmp_flood) # set quarantine-log disable
FGVM01TM19008000 (icmp_flood) # set threshold 10
FGVM01TM19008000 (icmp_flood) # next
FGVM01TM19008000 (anomaly) # end
FGVM01TM19008000 (2) # end - Go to Kali and run this command. First, 10 packets were allowed, and the 11th packet triggered the following block.root@ubuntu:~# ping -c 2000 -i 0.01 Port1-IP-Address.
