I just learned of a new "instagram for code" site here: http://instacode.linology.info/ The coolest part is that it seems to use pygments for syntax highlighting and therefore supports Bro! Here's a bit a code from the TimeMachine framework that I started working on yesterday: http://instacode.linology.info/18637 .Seth -- Seth Hall International Computer Science Institute (Bro) because everyone has a network http://www.bro-ids.org/

[Bro] Traffic type dispersion

by Rawi Ramdhan

All, I'm a student at the university of Amsterdam currently working on a research project on deep packet inspection in high bandwidth networks (AMS-IX, DE-CIX LINX.). In order to test my proof of concept I need to create Internet like traffic. To do this I need to know the traffic dispersion on protocol level (HTTP, DNS etc.) but I am also helped with transport layer information (TCP, UDP). Furthermore I would like to know the amount of packets per second and their size and the amount of events per n packets. All information will be removed after research and only published with your approval. Needles to say that cooperation is greatly appreciated and mentioned in the paper. kind regards, Rawi Ramdan Student at the University of Amsterdam System and Network Engineering

[Bro] piped_exec

by Fahime Alizade

Hi, I have a question about notices in Bro. We installed Bro cluster and we made signature file to detect sources that their generated traffic matches the signature. Then we expect our notice.log file (/bro/logs/current/notice.log) be filled all the information about that sources. To do so, we created a bro file(located in / bro/share/bro/site/ourfile. bro) to redefine the notice. Now the only thing it does is printing the information in our desired format in notice.log file. Till now every thing goes well but we need to execute a shell script file when ever the signature matches. So we thought maybe there is a way to execute the script file in notice redefinition file. I used function piped_exec. The problem is when I run the following command, /usr/local/bro/bin/ ./bro -r pcapFile.pcap broFile.bro every thing goes well with worker. The script will be run but in manager side it does not execute the shell script file. Do you think I should use different command for manager? I've uploaded the files on github: https://github.com/falizade/bro_scripts/blob/master/first_v0.bro Best regards, Fahimeh Alizadeh

[Bro] Bro programming question

by Rawi Ramdhan

Hi All, Im a student at the university of Amsterdam currently working on BRO in combination with SNORT. I would like BRO to execute a script (create ACL or static route via ssh). If i'm correct BRO should first needs to notice the data and send it to the manager. The following should log all data from 192.168.101.1 with TCP on port 0. And print it in a log file (which one?) <code> event new_connection(c: connection) { if (c$id$orig_h == 192.168.101.1 && c$id$resp_p == 0/tcp) print fmt("New Connection => Source IP: %s, Source Port: %s, Destination IP: %s, Destination Port: %s", c$id$orig_h, c$id$orig_p, c$id$resp_h, c$id$resp_p); } </code> When I run this on a worker it works fine: bro@ubuntu:~$ /usr/local/bro/bin/bro -r testfile.pcap first.bro New Connection => Source IP: 192.168.101.1, Source Port: 0/tcp, Destination IP: 192.168.103.1, Destination Port: 0/tcp The script is located in site and I do a check install restart via the broctl. But when I send data to this worker I cant see any logs generated. I must do a lot of things wrong but I cant figure out what. And where do I put the script to check the payload from this data and with that information execute a shell script via piped_exec(program: string, to_write: string): bool. I'm sorry for my bad explanation I'm not a programmer but I would like to make this prove of concept. Kind regards, Rawi Ramdhan

[Bro] effects of &synchronized and &mergeable

by David Mandelberg

Hi, I'm trying to write a script to count how many ICMP Destination Unreachable messages hosts receive. To do that, I'm thinking of using a table like the below and incrementing the value for each destination unreachable message. global icmp_too_many_destination_unreachable_table: table[addr] of count = {} &default=0 &create_expire=icmp_too_many_destination_unreachable_window &synchronized &mergeable; I'm a bit unclear about exactly what &synchronized and &mergeable do though: Is increment a single atomic operation or is it implemented as multiple atomic operations (fetch, locally add one, store, return)? I.e. if two cluster nodes do ++icmp_too_many_destination_unreachable_table[host] at the same time for the same host, is the value guaranteed to be incremented twice? Is it guaranteed that the value returned by the two increments will be different? If increment is atomic, is it still atomic when incrementing a default value? I.e., if a host isn't in the table when two nodes simultaneously increment its count, is the count always properly set to two? If a host is in the table and one node deletes it while another node increments it, is the resulting value always either 0 or 1, or can the value be old_value + 1? Does it matter if the delete is because of &create_expire or because of an explicit delete? Is &mergeable necessary in this case? I couldn't figure out from the documentation if &mergeable applies to the outer table or to its values if those values are container types.

[Bro] Cron

by Paul Schmehl

I didn't see an exit anywhere in the cron script. Not being familiar with python syntax, I checked on the web, but it seems one is not required. The problem is, my crons sit around forever and never exit. I'm pretty sure this is not normal behavior, but what could be wrong? # ps -auxwwww | grep "broctl cron" root 58597 0.0 0.1 48332 10900 ??
