Re: [Bro] Hui Lin_NOTICE function redefinition error

by Hui Lin (Hugo)

Yes. My bad. I still have some 1.5 scripts left there. I delete them and it is working fine now.

Re: [Bro] Hui Lin_NOTICE function redefinition error

by Hui Lin (Hugo)

Well this is what my codes look like. I just call NOTICE function within one of my event handler. @load notice @load /home/hugo/experiment/dnp3/policy/dnp3headers_sl.bro redef enum Notice += { CriState, # notice for my semantic signature matching; critical state }; ...... event dnp3_crob(c: connection, is_orig: bool, control_code: count, count8: count, on_time: count, off_time: count, status_code: count) { ..... NOTICE([$note=CriState, $msg="Test CriState is recoreded", $conn=c]); ..... } On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 10:27 PM, Seth Hall <seth(a)icir.org> wrote: > > On Jan 13, 2012, at 11:18 PM, Hui Lin (Hugo) wrote: > > > When I load notice and use NOTICE function in my script, there is a > error message > > > > error in /usr/local/bro/share/bro/base/frameworks/notice/./main.bro, > line 569: already defined (NOTICE) > > You're going to need to show a snippet of code that causes this error. :) > > .Seth > > -- > Seth Hall > International Computer Science Institute > (Bro) because everyone has a network > http://www.bro-ids.org/ > > -- Hui Lin Research Assistant DEPEND Research Group, ECE Department University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign hlin33(a)illinois.edu

Re: [Bro] Hui Lin_NOTICE function redefinition error

by Hui Lin (Hugo)

Being stupid again. It is again the version mix up of the policy files. Discussed this with Robin before. I delete many old script and now it seems to be fine now.

[Bro] Hui Lin_NOTICE function redefinition error

by Hui Lin (Hugo)

Hi, When I load notice and use NOTICE function in my script, there is a error message error in /usr/local/bro/share/bro/base/frameworks/notice/./main.bro, line 569: already defined (NOTICE) According to the error message, I found that two NOTICE functions are defined in this /notice/main.bro and also in notice.bro. So what is the correct way to use NOTICE function? Best, Hui -- Hui Lin Research Assistant DEPEND Research Group, ECE Department University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign hlin33(a)illinois.edu

Re: [Bro] is that possible to use a global variable defined in other policy script?

by Hui Lin (Hugo)

Thanks. At first, I am thinking about using in this way. However, then I found that Seth's way is probably more convenient in Bro. I think I am starting to get the concept of "redef" and "load" now.

[Bro] is that possible to use a global variable defined in other policy script?

by Hui Lin (Hugo)

Hi, I am wondering whether it is possible to use a global variable that is defined in other policy script? In other words, do Bro script have a equivalence of "extern" in C? I found that in some scripts, "export" are used. Does this achieve similar function?

[Bro] Fwd: Bro's snap length

by Will

Just wondering what the final decision was for snaplen in 2.0? I did notice that broargs looks to have been deprecated. -will ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Robin Sommer" <robin(a)icir.org> Date: Nov 18, 2011 2:08 PM Subject: Re: [Bro-Dev] Bro's snap length To: "Seth Hall" <seth(a)icir.org> Cc: "bro-dev(a)bro-ids.org Dev" <bro-dev(a)bro-ids.org> On Fri, Nov 18, 2011 at 14:34 -0500, you wrote: > We're going to need to change Bro's default snap length before the 2.0 > final release or at least do something. I think we should add a script-level option snaplen and set it to a much smaller default, like 8K or 4K. Plus a FAQ entry, linked from the Quickstart guide, explaining what's going on and what to do.

[Bro] Slow-motion DoS attack

by Will

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has set anything up in Bro to monitor their web servers for this style of attack. They recommend or caution against the use of IPS' for blocking this attack as the false positive rate can be fairly high for users with on a slow connection. Being that Bro can monitor and maintain the state of a connection for a long time, I imagine it would be perfect for this. Looking for lengthy connections with abnormally small header request sizes sounds like it might be the best way to detect these. Of course, there are likely outliers, but I imagine legitimate use could be identified and whitelisted fairly easily. http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/01/new-slow-motion-dos-attack-jus… https://community.qualys.com/blogs/securitylabs/2011/07/07/identifying-slow… https://community.qualys.com/blogs/securitylabs/2011/11/02/how-to-protect-a… Thanks in advance for any feedback! -Will
