Troubleshooting Router Management Case Study

Project Overview

This project was aimed at developing a module to execute security tests on remote and interoperating devices. Working alongside our client, Ebryx Tech encountered reliability issues with the initial development team. However, we overcame these challenges by implementing innovative remote testing procedures paired with a set guard of security practices, such as penetration testing and exploit testing, utilizing tools like Metasploit.

Client Overview

Our client is a cybersecurity services providing company based out of the USA. Their objective was to develop a module capable of executing security tests on remote and connected devices. Our collaboration with the client’s team included regular weekly status meetings. To facilitate the development, the client granted Ebryx Tech’s team access to their GitHub repositories for consistent code contributions.

Securing Remote Device Management with Advanced Testing Solutions

Challenges Encountered

The client's requirements presented a multifaceted array of technical challenges:

Development of a Recursive Architecture:

Developing a sustainable recursive architecture to interpret console output from Metasploit Framework (MSF) posed a formidable challenge. The team grappled with the intricacies of parsing and processing data seamlessly.

Kali Linux and Node.js Integration:

Ebryx Tech needed to set up a Kali Linux server to run a Node.js server alongside MSF to facilitate the execution of predefined security tests.

VPN Configuration for Remote Access:

To establish remote testing capabilities, Ebryx Tech were tasked with the setup of Nebula VPN through a Node.js server to gain access to remote and connected devices.
‍

Automated Test Termination Protocols:

Due to the high stakes involved in security testing, Ebryx Tech were required to automate the termination of security tests in any failure case.

Leveraging AWS Lambda

To address the recursive interpretation of console output, the team resorted to AWS Lambda invoked through Simple Queue Service (SQS). This approach facilitated the seamless processing of data, ensuring timely insights into security tests.

Cloud-Based Infrastructure Setup

The adoption of AWS EC2 for hosting the Kali Linux server streamlined the infrastructure setup, offering scalability and reliability crucial for executing security tests effectively.

Dynamic VPN Configuration

By integrating Nebula VPN with a Node.js server, the team established a dynamic mechanism for routing connections to remote devices, enhancing accessibility while bolstering security measures.

Regex-Matched Test Termination

Employing regular expressions, Ebryx Tech engineered an automated termination process that compares output against predefined success parameters, effectively distinguishing completed tests from failed ones.

Relay Payments

A rapidly growing Atlanta-based company was onboarded to provide digital payments for the logistics business. The system was fully integrated into the company's operations to match the modern trend of contactless payments. By using this system, drivers were able to get off the dock faster and ensure timely reimbursements. Additionally, the contactless payment system provided a safe and trustworthy channel for payments during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Results:

After implementing Ebryx Tech’s advanced solutions, the client witnessed a significant enhancement in their security testing procedures:

Recursive Output Retrieval
Our customized lambda functions initiate checks every 5 minutes, persisting for up to 60 minutes or until the desired output is captured, with distinct operation modes tailored to the specific test being conducted—be it brute-force attacks, Eternal Blue, or port scanning.

Seamless VPN Connectivity
Upon commencing a test, the Nebula VPN swiftly adapts its connection to align with the current target device's parent Nebula IP, facilitated by our Node.js command execution, ensuring efficient data transmission and enhanced security protocols.

Automated Test Result Assessment
In the event of a successful security test, the status is marked as "complete," signifying adherence to predefined success criteria. Conversely, failure to meet the criteria prompts automated termination, preventing potential security vulnerabilities.

The solutions provided have not only addressed the initial challenges but have also fortified the client's cybersecurity infrastructure, echoing Ebryx Tech’s brand's commitment to delivering high-caliber, secure software solutions. The Ebryx Tech’s dedication to professionalism, bolstered by certifications and global expertise, cements our reputation for reliability and innovation in custom software development.
