Computer Security and Intrusion Detection(IDS/IPS)LJ PROJECTS
This ppt explain you various type of possible attack, security property, Traffic Analysis, Security mechanism Intrusion detection system, vulnerability, Attack framework etc.
What is IDS?
Software or hardware device
Monitors network or hosts for:
Malware (viruses, trojans, worms)
Network attacks via vulnerable ports
Host based attacks, e.g. privilege escalation
What is in an IDS?
An IDS normally consists of:
Various sensors based within the network or on hosts
These are responsible for generating the security events
A central engine
This correlates the events and uses heuristic techniques and rules to create alerts
A console
To enable an administrator to monitor the alerts and configure/tune the sensors
Different types of IDS
Network IDS (NIDS)
Examines all network traffic that passes the NIC that the sensor is running on
Host based IDS (HIDS)
An agent on the host that monitors host activities and log files
Stack-Based IDS
An agent on the host that monitors all of the packets that leave or enter the host
Can monitor a specific protocol(s) (e.g. HTTP for webserver)
Signature-Based or Anomaly-Based Intrusion Detection: The Merits and Demeritsdavid rom
IDS is. It’s simply a security software which is termed to help user or system administrator by automatically alert or notify at any case when a user tries to compromise information system through any malicious activities or at point where violation of security policies is taken.
NETWORK SECURITY USING LINUX INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEMIJORCS
Attacks on the nation’s computer infrastructures are becoming an increasingly serious problem. Firewalls provide a certain amount of security, but can be fooled at times by attacks like IP spoofing and the so called authorized users. So an intelligent system that can detect attacks and intrusions is required. The tool GRANT (Global Real-time Analysis of Network Traffic) being a Linux based Intrusion Detection System(LIDs), takes the advantage of the security of a Linux box and secures the other nodes in the perimeter of the network. It is capable of detecting intrusions and probes as and when they occur and capable of responding to “already” successful attacks, thus causing minimal or no damage to the entire network. For better performance, this Linux Intrusion Detection System should be part of a defense in depth strategy such as Firewall and Intrusion Prevention.
Intrusion Detection Systems and Intrusion Prevention Systems Cleverence Kombe
Intrusion detection system (IDS) is software that automates the intrusion detection process. The primary responsibility of an IDS is to detect unwanted and malicious activities. Intrusion prevention system (IPS) is software that has all the capabilities of an intrusion detection system and can also attempt to stop possible incidents.

Infocyte - Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) Training SessionInfocyte
Join Infocyte co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Chris Gerritz, for a two-hour digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) training session.
During this presentation, Chris shows participants how to set up Infocyte's managed detection and response (MDR) platform and how to leverage Infocyte to detect, investigate, isolate, and eliminate sophisticated cyber threats. Additionally, Infocyte helps enterprise cyber security teams eliminate hidden IT risks, improve security hygiene, maintain compliance, and streamline security operations—including improving the capabilities of existing endpoint security tools.
Using Infocyte's new extensions, participants are encouraged to custom create their own collection (detection and analysis) and action (incident response) extensions.
Top 10 ways to make hackers excited: All about the shortcuts not worth takingPaula Januszkiewicz
Designing secure architecture can always be more expensive, time consuming, and complicated. But does it make sense to cut corners when hackers invent new attacks every day? Taking shortcuts will sooner or later translate to more harm and backfire. Come to the session and learn what mistakes we eliminated when working with our customers.
I will be going over a list of definitions, tools that fit each category, and open source variants that fit each (if available). I will be also going over the good, bad, and ugly of new/emerging technology.
I recommend watching the talk. Many notes and context are only verbal not in the slides.

EDR (Enterprise Detection and Response)
NGFW (Next Generation Firewalls)
Threat Intelligence
Summary of Term
SANS Technology Institute - Candidate for Master of Science Degree
What is a SIEM?
SIEM - Security Information Event Management
Logging and Event Aggregation
Network (router,switch,firewall,etc)
System (Server,workstation,etc)
Application (Web, DB )
Correlation Engine
2+ related events = higher alarm (1+1=3)
3
At first glance SIEM's appliances and software look like an event aggregator. While a SIEM has the advantage of aggregating logs what puts them apart from the event aggregator market are the correlation engines.
The correlation engines allow the ability to uncover threats/attacks across multiple related events which by themselves would not be a cause for alarm.

What is a SIEM?
5
Security information and event management (SIEM) is the technology that can tie all your systems together and give you a comprehensive view of IT security.
IT security is typically a patchwork of technologies – firewalls, intrusion prevention, endpoint protection, threat intelligence and the like – that work together to protect an organization’s network and data from hackers and other threats. Tying all those disparate systems together is another challenge, however, and that’s where SIEM can help.
SIEM systems manage and make sense of security logs from all kinds of devices and carry out a range of functions, including spotting threats, preventing breaches before they occur, detecting breaches, and providing forensic information to determine how a security incident occurred as well as its possible impact.
Using SIEM
How do SIEM Products help the following Security concerns?
Countermeasures to detect attempts to infect internal system
Identification of infected systems trying to exfiltrate information
Mitigation of the impact of infected systems
Detection of outbound sensitive information ( DLP)
6
These questions are a core part of a companies overall security architecture. If a SIEM isn't providing answers or solutions to these questions what is it doing?
If you aren't using your SIEM to solve issues like these it may just be an expensive log aggregator/collection system sitting in your network collecting dust.
SIEM Advantages
Correlation of data from multiple systems and from different events detecting security and operational conditions
Anomaly detection by using a baseline of events over time to find deviations from expected or normal behavior
Comprehensive view into an environment based on event types, protocols, log sources, etc
APT (advanced persistent threat) protection through detection of protocol and application anomalies
Prioritization based on risk of threat to assets, staff can triage the most vulnerable targets

The objective of this assignment is to learnabout the IDS.
Write a complete report on Intrusion DetectionSystems elaborating its components and types.
Solution
Intrusion detection system is designed to detect unwantedattempts at accessing of computer
systems, mostly through anetwork, such as the Internet. This also includes unauthorizedlogins
and access to sensitive files.
Components:
Central Engine records eventslogged by the sensors in a database and uses a system of rules
togenerate alerts from security events received.
Protocol-based intrusion detectionsystem monitors and analyzes the communicationprotocol
between a connected device and the server.
Application protocol-based intrusion detectionsystem monitors and analyzes the communication
onapplication specific protocols.
Host-based intrusion detection systemidentifies intrusions by analyzing system calls, application
logs,file-system modifications and other host activities and state.Example: OSSEC.
Hybrid intrusion detection systemcombines two or more approaches. Host agent data is
combined withnetwork information to form a comprehensive view of the network.Example:

2. Four major forms:
Network Signature-based
Network Anomaly-based
Host-based
Protocol Anomaly-based
Commonly deployed, rarely used well.
3. Requires tuning to identify which alerts
(signatures) should be generated and how
high to escalate
Examples:
Snort
RealSecure
Network Flight Recorder (NFR)
4. A signature-based NIDS examines all network traffic and
compares it to signatures of known attacks
This model is similar to that of anti-virus Software
Useful for detecting attempts by scripted attackers
Less useful for detecting skilled attacks or insider-based
incidents
Research has shown several ways to avoid detection:
ADMutate: polymorphic shell-code by K2
FragRoute: fragments network traffic by Dug Song
5. Anomaly-based NIDS monitor network traffic in an attempt
to detect normal traffic pattern deviations
Useful for detecting complex, yet undiscovered attack
methods
Requires a significant configuration and tuning effort
Requires time for initial benchmarking
Difficult to define “NormalTraffic” activities
Numerous employees check email after a meeting which can look like
a DoS attack to an anomaly-based IDS.
7. Host-based IDS monitors system state for unknown
activities
Used as a “last line” defence mechanism
Can assist in post-attack forensics efforts
Integrity of reported data is not guaranteed after a
successful compromise
Examples:
Tripwire
Dragon Squire
8. Detection of intruders based onTCP/IP protocol deviations
Easier to model “correct” behavior than “incorrect”
behavior
Relatively easier to configure due to deterministicTCP/IP
patterns
Fewer alerting rules
Requires higher trained staff for rule maintenance
Detection examples:
Detection of overly long UTF-8 characters (Nimda)
All known FTP attacks break protocol specifications
9. Will not detect viruses, and attacks
conforming to protocol specifications
Applications that do not properly implement a
protocol may also trigger alerts
Examples:
NFR
ManHunt
10. IPS systems are a development of IDS
systems.
Don’t just alert when an attack occurs, IPS
systems respond automatically to stop the
attack.
There are two main types:
Network Intrusion Prevention Systems
Host Intrusion Prevention Systems
11. These work inline between the target systems and the
outside world
Bridging Inline
Routing Inline
Network Latency Overhead
Examples include:
Hogwash (http://hogwash.sourceforge.net/) a GPL open source NIPS
Netscreen (http://www.netscreen.com/products/idp) a fast
commercial NIPS appliance
ISSGuard
(http://www.iss.net/products_services/enterprise_protection/rsnetwor
k/guard.php) commercial NIPS software
12. Usually implemented as kernel modules to
spot attacks on a system and act as a ‘system
call firewall’.
Very varied level of security provided. Most
can be circumvented using specific
techniques.
For the moment, beware of vendors offering
a cross platform product.
13. Examples include:
Integrity Protection Driver
(http://www.pedestalsoftware.com/products/intact/resources/index.a
sp)Windows Freeware, Open Source, Unsupported.
Trushield (http://www.trustcorps.com),Commercial,Very strong on
Linux / Solaris,Windows product not as strong.
Windows Application Control
(http://www.securewave.com/products/secureexe/index.html)
WindowsCommercial, Some concerns relating to user land
implementation.
Server Lock for Windows
(http://www.watchguard.com/products/serverlock.asp)Windows
Commercial.
14. IPS are a new take on an old idea:
Sidewinder Firewall
These are very hard to get right, none of these appear to be
mature yet.
Can severely restrict software actions on a system. Need to
be tested as compatible with any software that they are
planned to protect.
As far as we know no active blackhat groups are attempting
to defeat these. Window of opportunity to get ahead of the
hackers.
Consider deploying on highly security- sensitive systems.
15. Host
Processes
File system access
Applications
Security events
Registry edits
Permissions edits
User management
Login attempts
Changes to security
configuration
Network
Firewall
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
VPN gateways
Routers
Choke-points
Dialup gateways
Servers
Mail
DHCP
Web
Proxy
16. Centralized and synchronized logging mechanisms
Content retention
Digital notaries and time stamping
Third party logging and/or storage
Secure logging software
IETF Secure Syslog
IIRC syslog-ng
Core SDI msyslog
17. UNIX logging is network oriented
Applications send messages to a syslog server (which could be on a
different machine or the local machine)
Each message is given a priority and type
The syslog server saves the message to files based on its priority and
type and the contents of /etc/syslog.conf
The log files are plain ASCII and typically stored in /var/log
Jan 01 14:10:29 www.atstake.com apache[117]:
Server started
18. syslog will add log entries until there is no
more disk space
Additional tools are needed to rotate logs on a
regular basis
Log entries are trivial to delete and modify
when one has “root” access.
19. RRDTool – Display time series data in graphical format.
(http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/index.h
tml)
Swatch (ftp://ftp.cert.dfn.de/pub/tools/audit/swatch/)
LogSurfer (http://www.cert.dfn.de/eng/logsurf/)
NetWitness
(http://www.forensicexplorers.com/software.asp)
NFR (http://www.nfr.net/products/SLR/)
20. Windows logging is not-network oriented
The “Event Logging” service is always running, but can be turned off
Applications interact with the service using an API, ADVAPI32.DLL
Three types of logs are stored (Application, Security, System). All are
stored in %SystemRoot%system32
The format of these logs are binary, “EventViewer” is required to view
them
The actual text message for Application logs can be stored in the
Registry, only an index is saved in the log
21. Event logs cannot be modified while the logging service is running
(it has an exclusive lock)
Except winzapper and clearlogs (which get system access)
By default on Windows NT andWindows 2000, only system and
application events are logged (no security)
However,Windows 2003 does log security by default.
The “Audit Policy” contains a list of actions that can be logged
“Object Access” only grants the ability to log. Each NTFS file (or
object) must be configured to actually log.
Auditing policies can also be applied at the domain level
KnowingWindows Event Codes will help during an incident
22. Each type can have the Success, Failure, or
both logged.
23. By default, older events
are deleted when a
maximum file size is
attained (or after a
given number of days)
This is changed by
selecting Properties in
the EventViewer.
24. Enable auditing (minimum):
Logon & logoff
Policy changes
Account management
Adjust maximum log sizes and roll-over policy
Consider auditing object access to regedit,
*.sam etc.
25. Microsoft IIS Log Parser 2.0
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/tools/logparser/default.asp) Good
generic IIS web log analyser.Version 2.1 is part of the IIS 6.0 Resource KitTools.
Microsoft Dump Event LogTool (Included in Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit
Supplement 1) Command line tool to dump local or remote event logs to a comma
separated text file.
Microsoft EventCombMT (Included in Security Operations Guide for Windows 2000 Server)
Fast GUI tool for searching event logs of multiple systems. Good for estimating the extent
of an incident.
Event Archiver (http://www.eventarchiver.com) Automatic event log backup tool with
database support. Useful for regular centralised log analysis.
ELM Log Manager (http://www.tntsoftware.com/products/ELM3/ELM31/) Windows based
centralised log manager, supportsWindows, Syslog and SNMP sources. Stores data in a
database. Has an extensive range of options for notification.
26. IIS 6.0 (Windows 2003) supports remote
logging via ODBC to a centralised SQL server.
Probable performance hit.
IIS 6.0 also supports a centralised log file for
each of the separate websites hosted on a
single server.
However this is a binary file and requires a parsing
tool from the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit to read.
27. Centralised log collection for windows event logs
Encrypted and compressed on the network
SQL Server for log repository
Support for Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows
2000
Due for release late in 2003
Apparently version 2 will integrate with MOM
version 2.
28. The new centralised enterprise management
solution from Microsoft.
Supports log / event input from:
Windows Event Logs
IIS log files
Syslog
SNMPTraps
SQL ServerTrace Logs
Any generic single line text log
Haven’t had a chance to play with it yet but may be
the best centralised logging solution for Microsoft
or mixed Microsoft / UNIX networks.
