Greetings, I have a series of FTP file upload tests we're analyzing with Zeek 3.2.2. The environment is as follows: - FTP server: vsftpd 3.0.3 - FTP client: curl 7.64.0 - EPSV mode - Uploads with STOR command There are a number of fields documented for the FTP::Info record [1] that aren't logged (have "-" values for those fields) for these tests in ftp.log. One is `file_size`, documented as "Size of the file if the command indicates a file transfer." Logged records have values logged for args, mime_type, and fuid. But there is no value logged for file_size. The files have been extracted successfully, so the expectation is that given a STOR command was used ("...command indicates a file transfer") and that given a file was extracted and mime type identified, the file size would be logged in ftp.log. Is there potentially an issue in the analyzer? $ egrep '#fields|FsRuCZYQDY8FtmyS2' ftp.log #fields ts uid id.orig_h id.orig_p id.resp_h id.resp_p user password command arg mime_type file_size reply_code reply_msg data_channel.passive data_channel.orig_h data_channel.resp_h data_channel.resp_p fuid 1606347082.807480 CNp3Rz21qqtfdKWnG9 10.1.1.5 59888 x.x.219.95 9826 testuser <redacted> STOR ftp://x.x.219.95/home/testuser/archived-unencrypted.zip application/zip - 226 Transfer complete. - - - - FsRuCZYQDY8FtmyS2 1606347082.972373 CNp3Rz21qqtfdKWnG9 10.1.1.5 59888 x.x.219.95 9826 testuser <redacted> EPSV - - - 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||33369|) T 10.1.1.5 x.x.219.95 33369 FsRuCZYQDY8FtmyS2 Also noticing that in files.log there is a record of the extracted file from the data channel, but no associated file name.

ciphers and protocols aren't shown in ssl.log

Hi, I installed zeek 3.2.2 on CentOS 7 (amd64) I want to be able to log the ssl ciphers and protocols used on a host so we can get an overview of how many old clients are connecting However, in the ssl.log, it does not log that information.

Proposal to remove the finger protocol analyzer

by Vlad Grigorescu

(For some additional context, please see: https://github.com/zeek/zeek/pull/1243) I'd like to remove the finger analyzer from core Zeek. The analyzer that's in place today is incomplete, untested, and is showing its age. It's not enabled by default, and the functionality to use it is not in Zeek. As such, I'm proposing that it's simply removed, and not deprecated first. If you rely on this analyzer today, and feel strongly about it staying, please let me know. I'd be interested in hearing your use-case(s) and working on bringing it out of its current state of purgatory, perhaps as a plug-in. Lovers of ancient protocols should fear not, however, as I plan on adding a whois protocol analyzer. The two protocols are closely related, and whois could be a complete analyzer, with tests. In addition, whois seems more operationally useful today, as we see attackers running it on once they gain a foothold, and more tech-savvy users will run it after receiving a suspicious e-mail. Many thanks, --Vlad

Re: Error installing af_packet plugin for Zeek 3.0.11 (SOLVED)

by Carlos Lopez

I have found the problem. It was PATH variable. I don’t know why, but RedHat put the following option in profile’s user: # User specific environment if ! [[ "$PATH" =~ "$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:" ]] then PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH" fi export PATH As you can see, the error appears due to zkg installs a “zeek” python script wrapper, and it is executed first during zkg tests to install af_packet plugin instead of the real zeek binary located in /opt/zeek/bin, in my case.

bro filter domain names

by Charles Dillard

Hello, running bro version 2.5 on CentOS 7. Our bro is old, working on getting it upgraded. Is there a way -- documentation would be good -- to filter dns domains out using bro configs? We see this: ....../bro/site/postbody/postbody.bro const no_ref_bl = /"api.viglink.com"/ | /"app.huvle.com"/ | /"developer.myntra.com"/| /".youdao.com"/ | /"log.getdropbox.com"/ | /"api.lytics.io"/ | /"eohlan0"/ | /".sogou.com"/ | /".ge.com"/ | /"stats.pandora.com"/ | /"printer-installer.itssc.alstom.com"/| /"slotbonanza.com"/ | /"a.foxsports.com"/ | /"www.geroutes.com"/ | /3\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/ | /10\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/ &redef; Is it as simple as adding a line like /"microsoft.com"/ | below, say, /"a.foxsports.com"/ | ? Many thanks, bro/zeek team.
