Packaging Strategy for Bots with dependencies
by Dustin Demuth 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hey Folks, Whilst checking the dependencies, I've found out that a lot of Bots have their own requirements-file. From a packagers point of view, I think this is hard to maintain. I think, we should discuss if it is reasonable to split the software into a CORE package, were all packages have the same dependencies, and several BOTS packages with their own dependencies. This would create the additional need to rethink the BOTS json-file. It would be possible to have all JSON configs for the Bots in a bots.d directory and search for them in this directory. I know, that this might create additional complexity in some points.

MISP collector and parser [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Clark, Andrew 11 Jun '16

11 Jun '16

UNCLASSIFIED Hi guys, With the help of a colleague I have prepared a MISP collector and parser for IntelMQ. It requires a tag to be added to the MISP events that need to be processed. This tag is removed from the MISP event by the collector once it has been processed (and a different tag is added to the MISP event to indicate that it has been processed). Anyway, without getting too bogged down in the details, I've put the code in a forked copy of the repo on my github page: https://github.com/kralca/intelmq/commit/c3cdb0e The deduplicator expert should be used to detect MISP event attributes that have been previously processed (for example following the addition of attributes to a MISP event). I hope this is useful for the Hackathon on Sunday. Please let me know if you would prefer if I submit a pull request.

newsletter May 2016
by L. Aaron Kaplan 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

= Intelmq-dev-news 06-2016 Issue 6/2016 == Topics == # Summary # Status update Intevation # Status update CERT.at # Status update misc == Review of May 2016 == TL;DR and important changes ----------------------------- * Lots of adaptations * CERT Australia uses intelmq * Hackathon on Sunday, 12th of June at the FIRST.org conference, Seoul. If you are attending FIRST, please do join! / TL;DR === How to contribute to this newsletter? === -> contact Aaron, Dustin for future input === Status report Intevation === * The schema of the contactDB will be revised: The idea is that the most specific template wins. For instance: first check for a template for malware.name, then classification.type, then classification.taxonomy, else use default template or abort. This is required as almost all feeds do not set the classification.identifier and the classification.type is not specific enough to pick a template. * To enhance the process of identifying events, the parser needs to set the identifier. Idea: Provide a list which is maintained in a central place which maps these identifiers. This mapping could be downloaded by IntelMQ and be used by the parsers. * Gernot is now responsible for Packaging. We now use an APT repository for our releases. ** Idea: Bots can have their own packaging, this makes IntelMQ more modular. * Intevation will submit a proposal for a mature branching strategy. We will bring this topic to the list. * Intevation is also going to propose an idea for config files: Something like: etc/intelmq/bots-{available,enabled}/ directories as in Apache2. This might make life easier. * Intelmq-mailgen script: A script supposed to send mails in different formats: X-ARF is one of them, but currently experimental. ** The script is tied to certbund-contactDB expert. ** Interesting concept: The mailgen-script enables to track which event was sent at what time to each customer (can add ticket # numbers). * A Script which fills the contactDB with information from RIPE DB is in the queue * taxonomy expert now supports the taxonomy "other" * Created some Shadowserver parsers for drone, ntp monlist, open memchached, ssl poodle. * 500 MB reports do not fit into redis messages. We expect an updated redis > 3.2 should work for these large messages. But this would require testing. === Status report CERT.at developments === * intelmq now can process SIGHUPs: this will reload the bot's configuration. * related: new syntax for intelmqctl: check out ``intelmqctl reload``. * cronjobs which intevation created are being used now at CERT.at. * work on new parsers - new architecture (https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/pull/529) * idea: new parser architecture is parsing based on individual lines. Now you can find individual lines which can't be parsed and just replay these. * needs testing * tor bot: depends on internet2.us. Fixed and made more robust by Aaron. Coming: * missing: monitoring, log check deployment: check if .dump files exist * missing: intelmq-manager does not graph events/sec , etc yet. idea: use RRD * packaging: sebix is looking at tools to create packages for Debian, RedHat, etc. all at once. Sebix is looking at OpenBuild System by opentools. We will upload the packages to the website. * missing: branching concept for the release * need to test shadowserver (https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/issues/524) and if it's okay, pull into master. * dns-python has a new release. We use this everywhere. We should update it in the packages and code (let's wait a few weeks if some issues arises in the new version, but then we upgrade) === Wider community === * Koen wrote a octopress template for the website. Will try this out. Thanks very much! * Discussions on MISP<-> Intelmq integration (https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/issues/537). * We will have a hackathon on Sunday, 12th of June at the FIRST.org conference, Seoul. If you are attending FIRST, please do join! === Wish-list === * **we need more test-cases!!!** unit tests as well as integration tests. * Intevation searches for testers for the packages. * We'd like to have some nice graphs in the intelmq-manager: events/sec , parse-failures/sec, etc. * implementation of whitelisting of events (filter out events based on whitelists). See https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/issues/426 * A good CSS design for the web page * Create more website Content: How-Tos / Installation Instructions, Success Stories * How-Tos / Instructions: If you are using a special feature of IntelMQ, for instance an expert bot, try to find some time to write down a short article how you managed to get it to work and why you are using it. * a specific config logic for ASNs: do this and that (for example sett ttl = 1 month) if event is in ASN xyz. Or "ignore" if event is in ASN xyz. This should support some kind of more-specific-less-specific inheritance, similarly to Apache directory settings. The most specific setting wins. The order could be: country code -> ASN -> netblock -> ip (/32). Open questions: what's more relevant if both domains and numbers (ASN, IPs, net blocks) exist in an event? * block based processing: for example block based team cymru lookups * parallelisation: We need to revisit this topic == Important Discussions == In case you missed something, here are the headlines of some discussion we consider interesting / important. === Mailing Lists === https://lists.cert.at/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/intelmq-dev == Communication == Chat: irc #intelmq on freenode or webchat: [[https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=intelmq]] Follow on twitter: @intelmqorg Weekly Conference Call every Tuesday 16:00 UTC+2: Dial in via the known conference bridge number.

Discussion on intelmq output / transformation architecture
by L. Aaron Kaplan 24 May '16

24 May '16

Hi folks, an interesting discussion started on https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/issues/487 Basically, pedro would like to send data to ArcSite in CEF format. I would like to propose that we enhance our architecture to include "transformer bots". Apart from the funny name which reminds me of http://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/bots, this has a nice symmetry to the collector-> parser chain we have on the input side. So what are we talking about? Input side: ``` Collector ---> Parser ---> .... pipeline ``` Currently on the output side it's like this: ``` ... pipeline -> expert1 -> expert2 -> ... -> output bot 1 ``` But this basically leaves the work of transcoding/transforming the DHO format to the output bots. So far, this was enough. In the general case, it would be great to transform the DHO to some format. Let's assume CEF or IODEF. A generic output bot could then take that data and send it over whatever mechanism it knows to a destination. Example: ``` ... pipeline -> expert1 -> transform 2 IODEF -> mail bot or: ... pipeline -> expert1 -> transform 2 IODEF -> mail bot \ \-> sftp bot ``` The question in https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/issues/487 arose on where to store the output data. I'd suggest to create a new "raw_output" field in the DHO for this. A transformer bot shall write its format to the raw_output field (in base64) and an output bot shall take that data, decode the base64 andd send it via its own mechanism. What do you think? Would this work? Do you see any serious problem with this approach? Best, a.

xarf support (email sending and general mapping)
by Bernhard Reiter 24 May '16

24 May '16

Dear IntelMQ-Devs, for intelmq-mailgen I've constructed a first xarf writing support with an experimental mapping (see it at https://github.com/Intevation/intelmq-mailgen/issues/2) I haven't dived into it yet, but it seems like we need a practial mapping between xarf schemas (see https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/issues/522) So how do we construct such a mapping, so that in the end we can do xarf -> intelmq -> xarf? What intelmq field can be always expect or which only sometimes? I think you folks with more practical experience, having seen more data, are seminal for this mapping to become good. We (from Intevation) can implement the rules once we understand them well enough. :) Best, Bernhard -- www.intevation.de/~bernhard +49 541 33 508 3-3 Intevation GmbH, Osnabrück, DE; Amtsgericht Osnabrück, HRB 18998 Geschäftsführer Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner

Output format to syslog/splunk (PR#503)
by Sebastian Wagner 24 May '16

24 May '16

Dear developers, contributors, users, etc. Pedro Reis (@pedromreis) opened a pull request for an UDP output bot, which can be used to send events to a syslog daemon (and then picked up by further processing software). The implementation has the following features: * Output formats are JSON or delimited by a configurable character * a optional header (at beginning of the line) can be set * `raw` field can be dropped I can see some potential problems with the 'delimited'-method here: * Strings can contain the delimiter itself, which breaks parsing. * Strings can contain arbitrary characters like \0 or \n which breaks everything Possible solutions could be: * ignore the problem as it's maybe not relevant * escape all problematic characters (solves problem with \n) * quote strings (solves problem with delimiters in strings) * strip non-printable characters * drop fields with non-printable characters * encode strings in base64 As you may have possible applications for this bot or you have experience with events in syslog, I would appreciate some feedback from you.

Re: [Intelmq-dev] Getting up and running CentOS
by Matthew Duncan 10 May '16

Thanks Sebastian, Running from master, I had to make a few modifications as CentOS is using different locations and usernames, but If I run the following: sudo -u intelmq /usr/bin/intelmqctl -t json I receive the following response null If I run the same command without the type specified, I receive the usage syntax help message usage: intelmqctl --bot [start|stop|restart|status] --id=cymru-expert intelmqctl --botnet [start|stop|restart|status] intelmqctl --list [bots|queues] ..... Other Notes: · CentOS uses “apache” in-place of www-data so I made the relevant modifications based on the install instructions. · I also has to ensure the $CONTROLLER variable as defined in the config.php matched the correct location (/usr/bin/intelmqctl instead of in local) From: Sebastian Wagner<mailto:wagner@cert.at> Sent: Tuesday, 10 May 2016 7:49 PM To: Matthew Duncan<mailto:matthew.duncan@mahdtech.com>; intelmq-dev(a)lists.cert.at<mailto:intelmq-dev@lists.cert.at> Subject: Re: [Intelmq-dev] Getting up and running CentOS Hi Matt, On 05/10/2016 11:43 AM, Matthew Duncan wrote: > I can successfully load the main page and “Configuration” page, > however if I click on either the “Management” or “Monitor” tabs, this > is what I get > > > > / / > > /Error loading botnet status: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end > of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data/ > > / / > > > > Has anyone see this before or can provide some pointers where I have > gone wrong. > I assume you are running on current git master? The manager most probably can't access the cli-program. Possible reasons are insufficient permissions or misconfiguration or missing docs... To debug it, you can try to access the cli as user www-data (or whatever user your webserver is using): % sudo -u intelmq /usr/local/bin/intelmqctl Append `-t json` to see what the manager would see.

Getting up and running CentOS
by Matthew Duncan 10 May '16

10 May '16

Hi there, You will have to excuse if this is really simple, I have just started with IntelMQ and have read the docs but can’t seem to find a fix. I am currently attempting to get IntelMQ and IntelMQ-Manager up and running on CentOS 7 and have stumbled into a road block. I can successfully start/stop and view bot configuration from the cli using intelmqctl however I am receiving an error using the Web UI. I can successfully load the main page and “Configuration” page, however if I click on either the “Management” or “Monitor” tabs, this is what I get Error loading botnet status: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data Has anyone see this before or can provide some pointers where I have gone wrong. Thanks, Matt.
