Role of Mainframes
70 percent of all corporate data and 75 percent of
all business logic still resides on mainframe
Executing nearly 30 billion transactions a day
valued at over $1 trillion a week
Running $30 trillion of applications
73 Percent of Organizations confirm that the
Mainframe is part of their Cloud Computing
Strategy
Over 60% of World-wide WAN Traffic is SNA
Based

Millions invested in protecting mainframes
Yet …..
Estimates are that 90% of mainframes
worldwide are insecure
And ….
Nearly 95% are interconnected

Increased Security Threats
“New technologies that enhanced the availability of SNA
with more dynamic network recovery and the use of the
faster IP infrastructure has “opened” the SNA networking
environment. “
“Organized crime and unorthodox governments have the
resources to hire career IT criminals that have the
sophistication to attack a SNA network in order to find a big
prize.”

One of many good moments to switch is shortly before the target application
times out. Idle time is easy to monitor and calculate by third party application
1. Send timeout message to innocent user before target application
times out
2. Switch to rogue user
3. In case innocent user logs on again, switch back to innocent user
4. Activity of rogue user will avoid timeout at target application

1. A customer who experienced Hijacking found suspicious files on several mainframes.
These suspicious files independently started sessions to other applications.
2. After in-depth analysis the customer discovered that the suspicious files were
‘replications’ of the same type.
3. In a test project they tested how successful ‘harmless replicated files’ could be
distributed. The result after one weekend was 500 replicates at 20 different networks.

Observation 1, providing UID & PWD
A large financial organization.
We have found applications transmitting USERID and PASSWORD as User Data, of
which many of them were of privileged users / administrators.
In a conference call, network team assured that this was just inside their own
network.
Closer analysis of recordings revealed that USERIDs and PASSWORDs were
distributed to other networks.
In some cases USERIDs and PASSWORDs were received from a third party CP
which did not have direct a CP-CP connection.

Page 34
Observation 2, Injection
Another large financial organization.
Hackers were sending in User Data inside Logon requests in the form of an
inquiry such as: INQ userid opt=PWD|PIN|SSID
An exit of the destination APPL reacted by sending the WWD|PIN|SSID included
in the BIND command back.
Closer analysis of recordings showed USERIDs and PASSWORDs were
distributed to other networks.
In some cases USERIDs and PASSWORDs were received from third party
Gateways which did not have direct a CP-CP connection.

User Data – Security Considerations
Be aware of the Transmission of sensitive Information
Ensure Security Policy Compliance
Coordinate between System, Security, Risk, and Business
Review Policies for USERDATA and applications using USERDATA
Collect, Record, and Analyze USERDATA
Monitor and Manage use of USERDATA
Re-evaluate Periodically Security Risks and Implications
Single Sign-on and Secure ID Cards may solve the USERID/PASSWORD
problem

New API makes things easy
REXX VTAM socket API
This API function package eliminates the need of coding VTAM applications in Assembler
language. Basically this technology can be used with VTAM similar to coding mainframe exits
in REXX language. It enables the ability to code all interfaces to VTAM SNA, z/OS Console
and Trace capture in REXX language.
REXX IP socket API, provided by IBM with z/OS V1R7, ( since 2005 )
The sample programs and the jobs that you can use to run them are located in the
SEZAINST file. The following information applies to the batch jobs:
The batch job REXXAPI runs standalone socket EXECs and TCP/IP clients.
The batch job REXXAPIS runs TCP/IP servers.
The batch job REXXAPIT runs the subtask that is required to test the REXAPI04
program.
