Changes in harmonization implementation
by Sebastian Wagner 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Dear contributors and beta-testers, We recently changed did some changes in the implementation of the harmonization. The type MalwareName has been removed, it was just a duplicate of String. This may break your existing installation if you do not update your harmonization.conf with upstream. It has been used as type for malware.name The type LowercaseString has been introduced, doing a conversion to lower case chars automatically. Applied to protocol names, emails, hashes and UUIDs etc. FQDNs are now lower case only too. Some restrictive regexes have been made more tolerant (e.g. malware names) misp_uuid is now misp.event_uuid misp.attribute_uuid introduced new iregex-type check available (case-insenstitive regex-check) allowed values for protocol.transport is a defined list Also: Currently, both ASCII and IDN-domains are allowed, this will be changed too (including automatic conversion): https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/issues/622 When pulling from our upstream-repository, make sure you also update your harmonization.conf Related commits: https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/commit/6624bdda04ca0595799150e97e719a5… https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/commit/640e1a771acb4ddb9cbd726e51ae903… https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/commit/fd81f0fd9c86ffa0ac3764adafc74e7… https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/commit/7dbed4bc8f9200d06dae2018850341a… https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/commit/6b8b759293069afc3d9f0f1cdf8e4ea… https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/commit/d7892bcb59ac54218c5c45630226d4a… https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/commit/6584ab72fa408732c02abc1c934637a… https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/commit/a742c034c80249e80d2f280fd0dc8a7… Sebastian -- // Sebastian Wagner <wagner(a)cert.at> - T: +43 1 50564167201 // CERT Austria - https://www.cert.at/ // Eine Initiative der nic.at GmbH - https://www.nic.at/ // Firmenbuchnummer 172568b, LG Salzburg

UNCLASSIFIED Hi Bernhard, all, Sorry to come into this a bit late ... my comments are below: > Am Mittwoch, 20. April 2016 11:55:59 schrieb L.

If I understand correctly the IntelMQ 'runtime' configuration is currently spread across three configuration files (runtime.conf, pipeline.conf and startup.conf), and there are other configuration files as well (e.g. defaults.conf, harmonization.conf and system.conf). I think it's a great idea to consider how to improve on the current monolithic BOTS template configuration, but also wonder if some of the configuration that is currently in separate files could be merged. For example, could startup and runtime be merged? Maybe even pipeline too? > Thinking about how to solve the BOTS file first: > a) (proposed by Dusting) bots.d/ directory solution, > means adding and removing filenames. > b) adding an initialisation function to each module which > returns the necessary information > c) write a small packaging helper that adds/removes sections > from BOTS > > Some thoughts (being still new to the code base): > b) seems attractive to me, because it keeps information > close to where it is maintainted. Its main drawback probably is > that is the largest change. Are there other drawbacks? > c) has the drawback of requiring running code during (de)installation. > And it does not add much over a). I have a STRONG preference for an approach similar to 'a' above. In my opinion we should be aiming to decouple the configuration from the bot code itself as much as possible, and encouraging more generic bots (i.e., less bots that are more generic (and more configurable), and more configuration files. In general each bot should potentially accept many configurations. This approach should serve to limit the explosion in the number of bots (I think the parser bots are a good example of where we could reduce the number of bots focusing on 'what' they are parsing, rather than their source). Along the lines of option 'a' above I think the 'modules-available' and 'modules-enabled' approach used by the Apache web server could work for us too. All available configurations (templates, etc.) could be stored in a 'etc/bots-available' location, and the copied/edited into the 'etc/bots-enabled' location to enable them.

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.
