1. IPLOG?
A beginner's IDS for the WIN!v0.2
IPLOG, provides the beginner
sysadmin with actionable
network intelligence, without the
complexities of more advanced
IDS solutions.

2. The purpose of an IDS.
Actionable & Timely Intelligence.
● Open Source Solutions
– Suricata
– TcpDump / Wireshark
– SNORT
– IPLOG

3. The Problems
● Suricata.
– It exists, that's all I know about it.
– If you know more about it, be ready for the Q & A!
– Next point. :-)
● TcpDump / Wireshark.
– Skills
● Can you read a pcap like a book?
● Can you dissect TCP/IP in your head?
● We are at a BSides, maybe some of you can.
– Speed
● Can you do all the above at 10 MB/s?
● Actionable? Yes. Timely? No.

4. The Problems Contd
SNORT Complexity
● IDS - SNORT has LOTS of options.
● Rule Management.
– Which set or sets?
● Community.
● ET.
● VRT.
● Custom.
– Which update solution?
● Oinkmaster.
● Pulled Pork.

5. The Problems Contd
SNORT Complexity Contd
● Logs - Here comes LOTS of DATA!
– Which DB?
● Mysql.
● Postgresql.
– SNORT -> DB interface? - Barnyard2
● A Web APP
– Web Server Deployment.
– Web App Deployment.
– Some Web Apps.
● BASE
● Snorby
● Sguil

6. The Problems Contd
SNORT Contd
● Skills
– Learn everything just mentioned.
– Tune your rule sets to eliminate the noise.
● Speed.
– Actionable? Yes.
– Timely? Yes.
● After your rule set is tuned.
● After you get current on the logs. :-)

7. A solution, IPLOG.
What is IPLOG?
● Open Source Software.
● Written by Ryan McCabe in 2000.
● github.com/NathanGibbs3/iplog
● Simple, but not tcpdump.

8. IPLOG
What does it do.
● Connection Logging
● Scan Detection
– TCP Port Scans.
– TCP SYN Scans.
– TCP null Scans.
– FIN Scans.
– TCP "Xmas" Scans.
– UDP Scans.
● Attack Detection
– ICMP ping floods.
– UDP and ICMP
"smurf" attacks.
– IP fragment attacks.
– Bogus TCP flags.
● NMAP Scan evasion.
( Experimental )

9. IPLOG
Logging
● Syslog or text file
