Using the drawing from https://docs.zeek.org/en/current/cluster/ as reference, I have some workers which are being used for other tasks. As such, I would like to offload as much as I can to the proxies as I can build them to fit my needs instead of just riding on an already running server (the workers). How can I tune the analysis done at worker vs the proxy to fit my need?

Need help splitting HTTP log

by Jorge Garcia Rodriguez

Hi everyone! Im trying to Split the http logs in two. What I want to accomplish is that when the http event tags have the "URI_SQLI", instead of being logged in the normal http.log I want it to be logged in a new http-sqli.log. I have tried a lot of different ways but with no success, since this is the very first script that im writing for Zeek. This is one of the ways that i´ve tried: event zeek_init() { Log::remove_default_filter(HTTP::LOG); Log::add_filter(HTTP::LOG, [$name = "http-sqli", $path_func(id: Log::ID, path: string, rec: HTTP::Info) = { return ([URI_SQLI] in c$http$tags ? "http-sqli" : "http"); }]); } The problem here seems that I cannot refer properly to the "tags" field. Thanks for your time. Regards!

Adding flow and packet stats on conn log

by Federico Foschini

Hello, I'm reading a bunch of papers on interesting features for machine learning applied on network traffic. For example CSE-CIC ( https://www.unb.ca/cic/datasets/ids-2018.html) My question is: is it possible to add this type of statistic on conn.log? - average packet size - minimum packet size - maximum packet size - total time between two packets - mean time between two packets etc. - etc. Reading in the documentation I saw this events https://docs.zeek.org/en/current/scripts/base/bif/plugins/Zeek_TCP.events.b… but, as state by the documentation itself, it will lead to very poor performance. The other code I think it could be relevant is the TCP analyzer: https://github.com/zeek/zeek/blob/1affbad4b7b8c8cf230ded8224c9c364607b67e9/… I've never contributed to Zeek before and I don't know the codebase at all, so do you think Zeek would be capable of generating this type of stats? Is TCP.cc the right place to implement those features? Are there issues I am overlooking? -- Federico Foschini.

syslog

by Scot Harris

Does zeek have support to send syslog events? Looked in the logger and notice frameworks but did not see anything there. Documentation has a fair amount about ingesting syslog messages but nothing about outputting them. Running zeek 3.1.1 currently. Wanted to be able to send certain events such as SSH password guessing events to a syslog server which can open tickets on such events. Guessing would need to add another type to the logger framework with config items in zeekctl.cfg for the syslog server address. And use logger -n with that option to send the message to the specific host. Ideas?

Zeek From Home - 24 June 2020 - Corelight's Role in the Zeek Project - Presented by Greg Bell

by Amber Graner

Hi all, Over the past 2 years there have been many questions, speculations and misunderstandings about Corelight and its role in the Zeek Project. Many of your questions have been answered in direct conversations or at Zeek Week, but we realize many in the Zeek community are new and may not know the history and the commitment Corelight has to the project. This week on Wednesday, 24 June, Greg Bell, CEO of Corelight will be giving a presentation on Corelight's Role in The Zeek Project. Richard Bejtlich will be hosting the discussion. Zeek From Home is recorded and will be shared with the community. These webinars are free and open to the public, but registration is required. You can register to attend at: https://corelight.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_88w_WCX_TnOen7uUI_YckA If you have any questions about the Corelight and it's relationship and commitment to the Zeek Project and its community please help me queue up those questions so that Greg can make sure he includes the answers and addresses each of them. Sample questions include (have been asked over the past year): * Does Corelight own the Zeek Project? * Does Corelight drive the technical direction of the Zeek Project? * What all does Corelight contribute in terms of time, resources and financial support? * The project uses a lot of Corelight resources is information shared with Corelight Sales or Marketing? How is it kept separate and compartmentalized? Please feel free to add your questions to this thread or to the webform (link below): https://forms.gle/mXbGWEXM5zfqwSEs7 You can also drop your questions into the slack Webinars channel. You can join the slack space at: http://bit.ly/ZeekOrgSlackInvite I'll send your questions to Greg and Richard before the call. Thanks in advance everyone and we look forward to seeing you on the call! With gratitude, ~Amber

Hello, Given that this appears to be scanning originating from Google DNS, I just want to make sure there is no chance this is in error or maybe I am misunderstanding what I am reading here.

Re: [Zeek] [EXT] Question on Zeek SMB Logs and action "SMB::FILE OPEN"

by Mark I Fernandez

For the “SMB::FILE OPEN” action, I believe you would see this action when viewing a network shared folder. The SMB::FILE OPEN action applies to both files and directories, and I believe there is a flag in one of the SMB headers that specifies if it is a folder. For the “extracted files” issue, that sounds strange, but if the files appear in the “extracted” folder, then those executables are being transferred across the wire. I don’t think Zeek could collect those files otherwise. The only thing I can think of at the moment is that Microsoft Windows has a feature called AutoRun or AutoPlay. Best practice is to disable it, but if it is enabled on your Windows machines, then perhaps it could explain the behavior. Microsoft article on how to disable AutoRun/AutoPlay: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/autoplay-reg Mark From: zeek-bounces(a)zeek.org <zeek-bounces(a)zeek.org> On Behalf Of security devops Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 4:28 AM To: zeek(a)zeek.org Subject: [EXT] [Zeek] Question on Zeek SMB Logs and action "SMB::FILE OPEN" Hi I'm running Security Onion with Zeek 3.0.7. I have a client accessing a NAS. Whenever a client accesses a folder containing executables, Zeek will detect a "bro_smb_files" event type for all the executable in the folder, even though the client did not open these executables. There would be an action of "SMB::FILE OPEN" for all these executables and it would be extracted to the "nsm/bro/extracted" folder. Is this the default behaviour as it seems odd that the files are extracted even though they did not cross the wire? I'm also a little confused over "SMB::FILE OPEN" action when I referenced Zeek documentation. Does it mean the file was "open" even though the client only accessed the mapped folder? The follow up question on this would be forensic integrity of the files. Would this weird SMB behavior affect the "access" date of the file (I am referring to MACB dates of file). thank you
