Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS): 1812, 1813

Security Weaknesses:

  • Vulnerable to shared secret theft or weak secret configurations.

  • Susceptible to replay attacks and credential interception.

  • Limited protection against MITM without additional encryption layers.

Security Defense and Mitigation Measures:

  • Use strong shared secrets and enforce IP-based restrictions.

  • Implement RADIUS over TLS (RadSec) for enhanced encryption.

  • Regularly audit RADIUS configurations and server logs.

Indicators of Compromise or Attack:

  • Repeated authentication failures from specific endpoints.

  • Unexpected access logs or unauthorized authentications.

  • Anomalous traffic patterns to/from RADIUS servers.
