A. Overall Information
1. About Warden Client
Warden is a client-based architecture service designed to share detected
security events (issues) among CSIRT and CERT teams in a simple and fast way.
This package offers a client capable of both reporting events to server and
retreiving batch of new events from server. It consists of several Perl
modules/libraries which should be included into detection applications.

C. Registration
Any client attempting to communicate with the Warden server must be
registered on this server. Unknown (not registered) clients are not allowed
to exchange any data with server.
Registration of your client is provided by the Warden server administrator.
Usually via e-mail.
Clients also need to have valid client SSL certificates to prove their
identity to the Warden server.
Each client is defined by its hostname, service name, type of client, type
of requested events, receiving of own events, description tags and CIDR
this client is allowed to communicate from.
Hostname hostname of client to be registered
Service name Text string. Unique name of the service
the client is integrated in.
E.g. 'ScanDetector_1.0'. This is mandatory for
'Sender' client. Default value null is used for
'Receiver' client.
Type of client Either 'Sender' or 'Receiver'.
Type of requested events Type of events the client only accepts from
the Warden server. This is mandatory only for
'Receiver' client. Default value null is used
for 'Sender' client. Brief information about
event types is provided in section G. Functions
arguments and calls.
Receiving of own events Enables receiving of events sent from your
organization domain = yes/no (organizations are
separated based on the top-level and
second-level domain). This is mandatory only
for 'Receiver' client.
Description tags Tags are case insensitive alphanumeric strings
designed to allow event receivers to filter
according to event source. For example,
receiver can decide to use only events
originating from honeypots or filter out events
generated manually by users. This is mandatory
for 'Sender' client.
CIDR CIDR stands for IP (sub)net the client is going
to communicate from (see examples below!). Any
communications between the client and the Warden
server must be performed from IP address from
a range stated in CIDR.
Examples: '123.123.0.0/16', '123.123.123.123/32'
For complete information about client attributes and/or event types you will
have to contact particular Warden server administrator/provider.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D. Installation (First installation of the Warden client package)
1. Check SHA1 checksum of corresponding Warden client package archive
$ sha1sum -c warden-client-2.0.0-beta2.tar.gz.sig
2. Untar it
$ tar xzvf warden-client-2.0.0-beta2.tar.gz
3. Run install.sh
Default destination directory is /opt/warden-client/
For more information about install.sh options run install.sh -h
You must be root for running this script.
4. Installation Privileges
The Warden client is designed to be run under standard privileges. It should
be a part of other applications that are run under usual user privileges.
However, the Warden client uses SSL certificates for security purposes which
are often not accessible by standard users.
To solve this issue, the Warden client should be installed under root
privileges. It copyies local SSL key and certificate files into
warden-client/etc folder where those are accessible even with standard
privileges.
Should users want to preserve standard location of certificate files,
they are advised to remove key and certificate files after installation
from warden-client/etc/ and manually edit paths to certificate files in
warden-client/etc/warden-client.conf. In most cases, this change will force
the Warden client to be run under root privileges though.
5. Configuration file
After successful installation process you are advised to check configuration
file warden-client/etc/warden-client.conf. For more information see section
below G. Configuration.
6. Usage of install.sh
Usage: install.sh [-d <directory>] [-u <user>] [-k <ssl_key_file>]
[-c <ssl_cert_file>] [-a <ssl_ca_file>] [-hV]
-d <directory> installation directory (default: /opt)
-u <user> owner of warden client package (user for
running detection scripts)
-k <ssl_key_file> SSL certificate key file path
-c <ssl_cert_file> SSL certificate file path
-a <ssl_ca_file> CA certificate file path
-h print this help
-V print script version number and exit
Example: # ./install.sh -d /opt -u detector -k /etc/ssl/private/client.key
-c /etc/ssl/certs/client.pem -a /etc/ssl/certs"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E. Update (Update of previously installed the Warden client package)
1. Check SHA1 checksum of corresponding the Warden client package archive
$ sha1sum -c warden-client-2.0.0-beta2.tar.gz.sig
2. Untar it
$ tar xzvf warden-client-2.0.0-beta2.tar.gz
3. Run update.sh

-V print script version number and exit
Example: # ./uninstall.sh -d /opt
Note: You must be root for running this script.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G. Configuration
SOAP protocol is used for handling communication between server and clients.
Therefore, correct URI of the Warden server must be set.
Authentication of clients and server is performed using client and server
SSL certificates. Both clients and server must have valid certificate.
Configuration file contains following parameters:
URI - URI of the Warden server
e.g. 'https://mywarden.server.com:443/Warden'
SSL_KEY_FILE - path to a host key file,
e.g. '/opt/warden-client/etc/mywarden.server.com.key'
SSL_CERT_FILE - path to a host certificate file,
e.g. '/opt/warden-client/etc/mywarden.server.com.pem'
SSL_CA_FILE - path to a CA file
e.g. '/etc/ssl/certs/tcs-ca-bundle.pem'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
H. Integration with Local Applications
(Note: Clients need to be registered on server to be able to communicate with
server properly. See section C. Registration for more information about
client registration.)
1. Client sender (this type of client reports events to the Warden server)
Client is included as a Perl module (WardenClientSend.pm) into Perl code of
local detection application.
See warden-client/doc/example-sender.pl.txt for example how to use
the Warden client sender.
Brief information about syntax of sending functions and functionality is
provided in section I. Functions, Arguments and Calls.
2. Client receiver (this type of clients downloads events from the Warden
server)
Client is included as a Perl module (WardenClientReceive.pm)
into Perl code of local 'reaction' application or may be used as core of
standalone local application.
See warden-client/doc/example-receiver.pl.txt for example how to use
the Warden client receiver.
Brief information about syntax of receiving functions is provided in
section I. Functions, Arguments and Calls.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Functions, Arguments and Calls
1. WardenClientSend::saveNewEvent
A function to report one event to the Warden server. See example 'Sender'
client in warden-client/doc/example-sender.pl.txt
Function call (Perl):
# Path to warden-client folder
$warden_path = '/opt/warden-client';
# Inclusion of the Warden client sender module
require $warden_path . '/lib/WardenClientSend.pm';
# Sending event to the Warden server
WardenClientSend::saveNewEvent($warden_path, \@event);
Event array is defined as (Perl):
@event = ($service, $detected, $type, $source_type, $source, $target_proto,
$target_port, $attack_scale, $note, $priority, $timeout );
Event array attributes with example value and explanation on the right
(Perl):
# SERVICE - VARCHAR (64)
# Name of a service detecting this event. Service must be the same with this
# provided in 'Sender' client registration. See more about this issue in
# section C. Registration.
$service = "ScanDetector";
# DETECTED - TIMESTAMP in UTC, ISO 8601
# Date and time when was event detected.
$detected = "2011-07-16T19:20:30.45";

# protocols and null.
$target_proto = "TCP";
# TARGET_PORT - INT 2
# Port number of reported attack/issue target or null.
$target_port = "22";
# ATTACK_SCALE - INT 4
# Definition of attack scale, e.g., number of affected targets. Null is also
# possible when attack scale is not known or clear enough.
$attack_scale = "1234567890";

# Some important(!) note or comment or null. Also, it may contain virus
# sample, phishing e-mail with headers and other accordingly to event type.
$note = "this threat is dangerous";
# PRIORITY - INT 1
# Subjective definition of incident severity. Values 0-255 or null are
# possible where 0 is the lowest priority.
$priority = "null";

# Subjective time (in minutes) or null. After this time event might be
# considered timeouted.
$timeout = "20";
The return value of function SaveNewEvent is 1 when an event was
successfully received by the Warden server. Otherwise, the return value
is 0.
2. WardenClientReceive::getNewEvents
A function to download batch of events from the Warden server. Received
events are stored in @events array. See example 'Receiver' client in
warden-client/doc/example-receiver.pl.txt
Function call (perl):
# Path to warden-client directory
my $warden_path = '/opt/warden-client';
# Inclusion of warden-client receiving functionality
require $warden_path . '/lib/WardenClientReceive.pm';
# Definition of requested event type. Type must be the same with this
# provided in 'Receiver' client registration. See more about this issue in
# section C. Registration. See more about event types in section
# I. 1. WardenClientSend::saveNewEvent
$requested_type = "botnet_c_c";
# Download batch of new events from the Warden server
@new_events = WardenClientReceive::getNewEvents($warden_path,
$requested_type);
Structure of each received event in the event array equals to those
explained in section I. 1. WardenClientSend::saveNewEvent. It has one
additional attribute ID - unique id of this particular event (BIGINT).
