Functions, Arguments and Calls -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 2. Version 2.0.0-beta2 (2012-07-20) 3.

Installation Dependencies Perl >= 5.10.1 SOAP::Lite >= 0.712 IO::Socket::SSL >= 1.33 SOAP::Transport::HTTP >= 0.712 FindBin >= 1.50 DateTime >= 0.61 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Default destination directory is /opt/warden-client/ For more information about update.sh options run update.sh -h You must be root for running this script. 4. Configuration file After successful update process you are advised to check configuration file warden-client/etc/warden-client.conf. For more information see section G. Configuration. 5. Usage of update.sh Usage: update.sh [-d <directory>] [-hV] -d <directory> destination directory (default: /opt) -h print this help -V print script version number and exit Example: # ./update.sh -d /opt Note: You must be root for running this script. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F. Uninstallation 1. Run uninstall.sh The script is located in warden-client package directory. Default uninstallation directory is /opt/warden-client/. For more information about uninstall.sh options, run uninstall.sh -h. You must be root for running this script. 2. Usage of uninstall.sh Usage: uninstall.sh [-d <directory>] [-hV] -d <directory> uninstallation directory (default: /opt) -h print this help -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"; # TYPE - VARCHAR (64) # Type of reported event. Currently supported values are: # darkspace - access into honeypot segment # portscan - scannig of TCP/UDP ports # bruteforce - bruteforce/dictionary attack against authentication # service(s) # spam - unsolicited e-mail that does not have phishing-like # character # phishing - e-mail attempting to gather sensitive data # botnet_c_c - command and control center of botnet # dos - (distributed) denial of service attack # malware - virus sample # copyright - copyright infringement issue # webattack - attack against web application # other - anything that does not match any of previous categories $type = "portscan"; # SOURCE_TYPE - VARCHAR 64 # Type of source of reported attack/issue. Currently supported values are: # IP, URL, Reply-To:, null $source_type = "IP"; # SOURCE - VARCHAR 256 # identification of an attack source/origin according to source_type $source = "123.123.123.123"; # TARGET_PROTO - VARCHAR 16 # Protocol type of reported attack/issue target. Supported are all L3 and L4 # 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"; # NOTE - TEXT # 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"; # TIMEOUT - INT 2 # 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). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 2011-2012 Cesnet z.s.p.o
