1 Helping You Piece IT Together Best Practices for Log Monitoring

2 Introduction What are logs? Why are logs important? The Challenges Recommended Best Practises Further Reading 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 2

3 What Are Logs? Historical Record of events that happened. Records events and status of systems in a time sequential format. Record of activity on the system/network. Provide an Audit trail of who done what, where, when and why (5 Ws) 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 3

4 Why are Logs Important? Logs can assist us in; Determining what happened - Audit Trail Intrusion Detection Incident Containment Forensic Analysis Proactive Protection Real Time Alerts Providing a Network Baseline Determining the Health of the Network Troubleshooting issues Proactive maintenance 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 4

5 Monitoring as Part of Security Process Improve Based on Feedback Develop Security Policy Test Security Secure The Network Monitor 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 5

6 Why are Logs Important? Logs are everywhere; Operating Systems Applications Device logs Routers Firewalls IDS Switches All this information should be making our jobs easier. Right? 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 6

7 Typical Network INTERNET Firewall Router WEB Server DMZ Switch Wireless Access Point Proxy Server Remote Access Server IDS System Switch(es) Directory Server (PDC) 21/10/2005 Database Server File Server Server Print Server Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd AV Server 7

8 The Challenges Different vendors different log formats. Regulatory Requirements. Logs were written by developers Format is not easy to read Messages can be obscure Logs contain enormous amount of information. Identifying anomalies can be difficult Probes over time 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 8

9 The Challenges Managing Logs can be Expensive; Log analysis is a unique skill. Looking at all events takes time. Logs can consume a lot of disk space. Volume of information is huge No one size fits all. Each network is unique 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 9

10 Too Much Information!!! 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 10

11 Best Practices Develop logging Policy Determine what information is relevant to you. What devices are important? What events are important? Don t forget to turn on logging! Timing of events, e.g. user logons in morning. What reports you and the business want/need? Group servers into zones based on their function or criticality and prioritise events accordingly. Baseline your systems & network. Determine how your network normally behaves. Repeat at regular intervals Secure log files on all devices. Encrypt logs Ensure all devices use same time source. If using more than one time zone use UTC. Use NTP protocol from a secure source to synchronise time. 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 11

12 Best Practices Centralise log collection Dedicated server to collect all logs. Be careful of network traffic volumes. Be aware of limitations of server to process number of events. Configure all devices send logs to central log server. Make sure central server is secure. Secure transmission of logs. e.g. Syslog uses UDP by default. Consider using IPSec or next generation Syslog (Syslog-NG) 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 12

13 Best Practices Normalise the data All events such as Windows, Syslog, SNMP etc. should be normalised into same format. Review the Logs Ensure logs are regularly reviewed Manually Automatically Scripts Commercial Tools Freeware Tools 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 13

14 Best Practices Log Rotation Determine time schedule Based on volume of data Develop meaningful naming convention. Move data to rotated file Log Retention Based on disk space. May be regulatory requirements. Archive onto WORM type devices and store in secure area. 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 14

15 Important Windows Events Local Logon Attempt Failures Event IDs 529, 530, 531, 532, 533, 534 & 537. Domain Logon Account Failures Event IDs 675, 677 Account Misuse Event IDs 530, 531, 532, 533 Account lockout Event ID 539 Terminal Services Event IDs 682, 683 Creation of a User Account Event IDs 624, 626 User Account password Change Event IDs 627, 628 User Account Status Change Event IDs 626, 629, 630 Modification of Security Groups Event IDs 632, 633, 636, 637 Modification of Security Log Event IDs 612, 517 Policy Change Event IDs 608, 609 Process Tracking Event IDs 592, 593 (note due to volume of log entries only monitor process tracking during an investigation.) 21/10/2005 Copyright 2005 BH IT Consulting Ltd 15
