1 OSSEC Intrusion detection and response System and log analysis of Drupal sites and servers

2 Looked at your logs recently? Client site, November [04/Nov/2012:05:48: ] "POST HTTP/1.1" "-" "-" [04/Nov/2012:05:49: ] "POST HTTP/1.1" "-" "-" [04/Nov/2012:05:49: ] "GET HTTP/1.1" "-" "-" [04/Nov/2012:06:27: ] "POST cookies=1&showimg=1&truecss=1&t2122n=1 HTTP/1.1" C99 (R57) shell (PHP-based Backdoor)

3 Looked at your logs recently? /var/log/apache2 crawlers hunting for holes brute-forcing /user/password, /user/register error 500, 504 (gateway timeouts, slow PHP?) worse (see last slide)

4 Looked at your logs recently? /var/log/syslog (Drupal) brute forcing (in more detail) exceptions, permissions problems crashes, panics, timeouts external service drama: Mollom, Payment GW

5 Looked at your logs recently? /var/log/auth.log SSH, user/group modifications Use of sudo Whoa, someone ran sudo nano /var/www/ drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc on prod???

6 Attacks: just one risk Bad practice Human error Dependant services (third parties) Packages installed or removed (/var/log/apt/history.log) all has impact, all in the logs

7 What s not in logs? Bad practice and human error :) insecure permissions on files Or bigger problems: unexpected modifications (Apache modules?)

8 What s security? Security is not just about intrusions Security is anything that could compromise availability, integrity, reliability, trust, money

9 What to do about it? Enter

10 What is OSSEC? Free and open source Host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) Acquired by Trend Micro in just released Active development / community

11 Installation Download and run install.sh Try my wrapper script (does checksums etc) Not in Debian yet - PPA exists

12 OSSEC model Server->agent mode (central config, active response propagates) Local mode (standalone) Hybrid mode (multi-tier, complex topography)

13 The 4 main features Log analysis (What s happening now that s being logged?) Syscheck (integrity checking - what happened that left traces?) Rootcheck (rootkit detection) Active Response (what to do about it?)

14 Log Analysis what s happening?

15 Log Analysis How does it work? Decoders How to interpret logs (regexes to split up timestamps, IPs, messages) Rules Analysis of the decoded parts Grading them by level/threshold

16 Log Analysis Out of the box: SSH (bruteforcing, first time user logged in ) First time user executed sudo SMTP (spam relay attempts, SASL bruteforcing) Apache/Nginx issues (40Xs, 50Xs)

17 Log Analysis Write your own Decoders (custom logs) such as Drupal watchdog (Syslog module) Thank you madirish :

18 Log Analysis OSSEC HIDS Notification Jun 23 18:11:38 Received From: (example) >/var/log/messages Rule: fired (level 10) -> "Possible Drupal brute force attack (high number of logins)." Portion of the log(s): Jun 23 18:11:38 example drupal: user index.php?q=user/login 0 Login attempt failed for wembleylman10. Jun 23 18:11:36 example drupal: user index.php?q=user/login 0 Login attempt failed for wembleylman10. Jun 23 18:09:12 example drupal: user Login attempt failed for arrevemof. Jun 23 18:09:12 example drupal: user Login attempt failed for arrevemof. Jun 23 18:09:09 example drupal: user Login attempt failed for abralfultifug. Jun 23 18:09:09 example drupal: user Login attempt failed for abralfultifug. --END OF NOTIFICATION

19 Log Analysis Resource problems? (bottleneck/memory leak?) OSSEC HIDS Notification May 07 14:49:44 Received From: (example) >/var/log/syslog Rule: 1002 fired (level 2) -> "Unknown problem somewhere in the system." Portion of the log(s): May 7 14:49:43 example drupal: php PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction: DELETE FROM {XXXXXXXXX} #012WHERE (uid = :db_condition_placeholder_0) AND (subid = :db_condition_placeholder_1) ; Array#012(#012 [:db_condition_placeholder_0] => 68148#012 [:db_condition_placeholder_1] => 77217#012)#012 in XXXXXXX_update::delete() (line 652 of /var/www/drupal/www/sites/all/modules/custom/xxxxxx/xxxxx.inc). --END OF NOTIFICATION OSSEC HIDS Notification Jun 14 15:17:02 Received From: (example) >/var/log/messages Rule: 1002 fired (level 2) -> "Unknown problem somewhere in the system." Portion of the log(s): - Jun 14 15:17:02 example ool www: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64 bytes) in /var/www/drupal/www/sites/ all/modules/contrib/views/modules/field/views_handler_field_field.inc on line END OF NOTIFICATION

20 Log Analysis Everything is a DNS problem OSSEC HIDS Notification Jul 03 17:35:27 Received From: (example) >/var/log/syslog Rule: 1002 fired (level 2) -> "Unknown problem somewhere in the system." Portion of the log(s): Jul 1 17:35:26 example drupal: php User error: Failed to connect to memcache server: mem01.example.com:11211 in dmemcache_object() (line 415 of /var/www/drupal/www/sites/all/modules/ memcache/dmemcache.inc). --END OF NOTIFICATION OSSEC HIDS Notification Jun 29 10:01:53 Received From: (example) >/var/log/syslog Rule: 1002 fired (level 2) -> "Unknown problem somewhere in the system." Portion of the log(s): Jun 29 10:01:51 example drupal: brightcove Loading Brightcove video failed. --END OF NOTIFICATION

21 Syscheck what s changed?

22 Syscheck Scheduled scans Detects when files have changed (checksums) lots of false positives due to software patching, find the balance between useful/fatiguing New services start or stop (netstat: port watching)

23 Syscheck OSSEC HIDS Notification Jul 01 04:01:03 Received From: (example) >syscheck Rule: 550 fired (level 7) -> "Integrity checksum changed." Portion of the log(s): Integrity checksum changed for: '/usr/bin/ssh'" " " " " " << hopefully that s legit because you recently patched OpenSSH.. Size changed from '434024' to '641640' Old md5sum was: ' f654d7a2d7b38a0b0c09def4' New md5sum is : 'a8bf35316eb4f46e377a957ecb6cfdca' Old sha1sum was: '976af6f53338a7e9d4eb71617a2a8471aeb6937b' New sha1sum is : 'e871e0a907cdfb76c6e0722a6196b0c9f8edb1fd' --END OF NOTIFICATION

24 Syscheck OSSEC HIDS Notification Jul 01 17:43:20 Received From: (example) >netstat -tan grep LISTEN grep -v sort Rule: 533 fired (level 7) -> "Listened ports status (netstat) changed (new port opened or closed)." Portion of the log(s): ossec: output: 'netstat -tan grep LISTEN grep -v sort': tcp : :* LISTEN tcp : :* LISTEN tcp : :* LISTEN tcp : :* LISTEN tcp : :* LISTEN tcp : :* LISTEN " " " New process listening on TCP port 5666?" tcp : :* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::111 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::25 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::4949 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::58285 :::* LISTEN Previous output:" ossec: output: 'netstat -tan grep LISTEN grep -v sort': tcp : :* LISTEN tcp : :* LISTEN " " " ^^^ SSH no longer running above? Did you push a bad config via Puppet?" tcp : :* LISTEN tcp : :* LISTEN tcp : :* LISTEN tcp : :* LISTEN

25 Rootcheck who left the door open?

26 Rootcheck I like rkhunter too, but get a 2nd opinion Hopefully more false positives than not OSSEC HIDS Notification Nov 20 23:37:22 Received From: (example) >rootcheck Rule: 510 fired (level 7) -> "Host-based anomaly detection event (rootcheck)." Portion of the log(s): Anomaly detected in file '/tmp/#sql_1020_0.myi'. Hidden from stats, but showing up on readdir. Possible kernel level rootkit." --END OF NOTIFICATION - OSSEC HIDS Notification Jul 07 10:24:18 Received From: Miguels-MacBook-Pro->rootcheck Rule: 510 fired (level 7) -> "Host-based anomaly detection event (rootcheck)." Portion of the log(s): Files hidden inside directory '/var/tmp/launchd'. Link count does not match number of files (2,3)." --END OF NOTIFICATION

27 Rootcheck Gah OSSEC HIDS Notification Nov 12 09:36:16 Received From: example->rootcheck Rule: 510 fired (level 7) -> "Host-based anomaly detection event (rootcheck)." Portion of the log(s): File /var/www/sites/default/settings.php is owned by root and has written permissions to anyone." --END OF NOTIFICATION

28 Active Response now what?

29 Active Response OSSEC HIDS Notification Jun 28 23:52:41 Received From: (example) >/var/log/apache2/other_vhosts_access.log Rule: fired (level 10) -> "Multiple web server 400 error codes from same source ip." Portion of the log(s): [28/Jun/2014:23:52: ] "HEAD /.ssh/id_rsa HTTP/1.1" "-" "-" [28/Jun/2014:23:52: ] "HEAD /.ssh/id_rsa.old HTTP/1.1" "-" "-" [28/Jun/2014:23:52: ] "HEAD /.ssh/key.priv HTTP/1.1" "-" "-" [28/Jun/2014:23:52: ] "HEAD /.ssh/key HTTP/1.1" "-" "-" [28/Jun/2014:23:52: ] "HEAD /.ssh/dsa HTTP/1.1" "-" "-" [28/Jun/2014:23:52: ] "HEAD /.ssh/rsa HTTP/1.1" "-" "-" [28/Jun/2014:23:52: ] "HEAD /.ssh/id_dsa HTTP/1.1" "-" "-" END OF NOTIFICATION OSSEC HIDS Notification Jun 28 21:36:54 Received From: (example) >/var/log/nginx/access.log Rule: fired (level 10) -> "Multiple web server 400 error codes from same source ip."

30 Active Response Most crawlers are harmless / absurd But you re human You don t need them hunting for holes You don t need them using up active HTTP connections

31 Active Response And what if they find another ckeditor/drupal Core hole? (before you)

32 Active Response firewall-drop.sh most common response (but can be anything you want) Blocks the IP for a defined period (like fail2ban)

33 Active Response firewall-drop.sh Can employ repeat offender punishment When using server->agent model: One agent detects : every agent blocks

34 Active Response Drupal behind loadbalancers/varnish? Make sure you have IPs logging correctly Nginx/Apache to log X-Forwarded-For as client IP $conf[ reverse_proxy ] $conf[ reverse_proxy_addresses ]

35 Configuration Rules XML based ( ) <rule id="100112" level="10"> < level 10 - bad enough to take action > <if_sid>31151</if_sid> < if the rule that was hit was ( many 40X errors ) > <program_name>^drupal</program_name> < if the program that logged the message was drupal > <match>node/add</match> < if the log contained this message (hitting /node/add) > <options>no_ _alert</options> < don t me these, but still take action (level 10) > <description>spambots trying to add content</description> </rule>

36 Configuration Rules Dreaded rule 1003 Message too large (Mollom verbosity = a classic) <rule id="100113" level="0"> < Shush don t me and don t take action (harmless) > <if_sid>1003</if_sid> < if the rule that was hit was 1003 ( Message too large ) > <program_name>^drupal</program_name> < if the program that logged the message was drupal > <match>retrieved new CAPTCHA</match> < if the log contained this message > <description>large Mollom messages</description> </rule>

37 Configuration Frequency <rule id="104120" level="6"> < sometimes an accident (wrong password), level 10 a bit too harsh? > <if_sid>104110,1002</if_sid> <match>login attempt failed</match> <description>drupal failed login</description> </rule> - <rule id="104130" level="10" frequency="8" timeframe= 120"> < but too many, too quickly > <if_matched_sid>104120</if_matched_sid> < matching our rule above > <description>possible Drupal brute force attack</description> <description>(high number of logins).</description> </rule>

38 Tiered Notifications Alert devs to PHP errors, warnings, or specific servers Alert sysadmins to OS stuff (file integrity, kernel panics, software/network changes etc) CISO / manager / Redmine for whatever the ISO27001 incident register needs to include

39 Reporting ossec-reportd Who tried to login to the site as admin last March & from where? Top 10 users to SSH in during June? (Bob s on holiday - why/how did he login? Compromised SSH key?)

40 What to take from this? No mysteries You are human: you don t watch logs all day You make mistakes: save time debugging/finding the logs, let machines tell you Instant awareness: coverage over entire infra

41 What to take from this? Knowledge Is Power Not everything is a risk, but it can matter (impact) The element of surprise is an adversary s weapon It s harder to surprise someone with their finger on the pulse

42 What to take from this? OSSEC is not (meant to be) perfect False positives Docs/rule syntax can be a learning curve Software-based (VPS? What about the host?) HIDS, not NIDS (look at SecurityOnion, Bro, Splunk)

43 mig5 says: Filter out the noise to avoid monitoring fatigue But don t ignore rule 1002, tune it Whitelist your IPs: don t lock yourself out Defense in depth: Run other layers of integrity checking too (NIDs, WAFs, rkhunter, ClamAV scans)
