ET Pro Telemetry edition
|
||
=========================
|
||
|
||
Todays cybersecurity engineers need timely and accurate data about eminent threats and how they spread around the globe.
|
||
With this data cybersecurity researchers and analysts can improve the detection of malicious network traffic.
|
||
The times when we could rely on just firewall rules for our protection are long gone.
|
||
Additional layers of security are desperately needed to guard against these attacks.
|
||
|
||
With growing risks the need to fortify our security is growing for both big enterprises as for SMEs alike, but often
|
||
out of reach for the latter.
|
||
An important extra security addition is an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS).
|
||
|
||
The IDS/IPS available in OPNsense is based on Suricata.
|
||
This open source IDS/IPS engine has proven its value in OPNsense, especially in combination with the free Proofpoint ETOpen ruleset.
|
||
|
||
The need for valuable threat detection data and the increasing importance of additional network security
|
||
has brought Proofpoint and OPNsense together.
|
||
Our joined efforts resulted in the ET Pro Telemetry edition.
|
||
|
||
The ET Pro Telemetry edition embraces our vision that sharing knowledge leads to better products.
|
||
|
||
When you allow your OPNsense system to share anonymized information about detected threats - the alerts -
|
||
you are able to use the ET Pro ruleset free of charge.
|
||
|
||
..
|
||
|
||
*The ET Pro ruleset is updated daily and covers more than 40 different categories of network behaviors,
|
||
malware command and control, DoS attacks, botnets, informational events, exploits, vulnerabilities,
|
||
SCADA network protocols, exploit kit activity, and more. If offers a great improvement over the ET open ruleset.*

Registration
|
||
--------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
When you register for this (free) service, you will share your basic (company) details with us, Deciso Sales B.V..
|
||
We will register your sensor(s) anonymized at Proofpoint.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. Note::
|
||
|
||
When ET Pro Telemetry is activated, your OPNsense system sends data to Proofpoint. Proofpoint does not know who you are, they
|
||
only know how many sensors an account owns. Your network statistics received by Proofpoint won’t be shared with us.
|
||
|
||

Installation
|
||
--------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
After registration, we can proceed to the installation steps, which are described below.
|
||
|
||
.. Note::
|
||
|
||
To use ET Pro Telemetry, you will need to have OPNsense 19.1 or higher installed. When using an older version,
|
||
please upgrade to the latest first.
|
||
|
||
|
||
....................
|
||
plugin
|
||
....................
|
||
|
||
First we need to install the required plugin, which is responsible for collecting the telemetry data and provides access
|
||
to the ET Pro ruleset.
|
||
|
||
1. Go to :menuselection:`System --> Firmware --> Updates`
|
||
2. press "Check for updates" in the upper right corner.
|
||
3. open the tab "Plugins" and search for `os-etpro-telemetry`
|
||
4. when found, click on the [+] sign on the right to install the plugin
|
||
|
||
A screen containing the installation status should appear now and the plugin is ready for use.
|
||
|
||
....................
|
||
register token
|
||
....................
|
||
|
||
Next step is to register your token in OPNsense and enable rulesets.
|
||
|
||
1. Go to :menuselection:`Services --> Intrusion Detection --> Administration`
|
||
2. Click on the "Download" tab, which should show you a list of available rules.
|
||
3. Enable all categories you would like to monitor in the "ET telemetry" section,
|
||
if in doubt enable all and monitor the alerts later (select on the right and use the enable selected button on top)
|
||
4. At the bottom of the page there’s a block containing settings, paste the token code you received via email in **et_telemetry.token**
|
||
5. Press **save** to persist your token code
|
||
6. Press **Download & Update rules** to fetch the current ruleset
|
||
|
||
|
||
....................
|
||
Schedule updates
|
||
....................
|
||
|
||
To download the rulesets automatically on a daily bases, you can add a schedule for this task.
|
||
|
||
1. Go to :menuselection:`Services --> Intrusion Detection --> Administration`
|
||
2. Click on the "Schedule" tab
|
||
3. A popup for the update task appears, enable it using the checkbox on top, and click "save changes"
|
||
|
||
|
||
....................
|
||
Subscription status
|
||
....................
|
||
|
||
To validate your subscription, we recommend to add the widget to the dashboard.
|
||
|
||
1. Go to the dashboard :menuselection:`Lobby --> Dashboard`
|
||
2. Click on "Add widget" in the top right corner, click "Telemetry status" in the list
|
||
3. Close dialog and click "Save settings" on the right top of the dashboard
|
||
4. Open :menuselection:`Lobby --> Dashboard` again to refresh the content
|
||
|
||
When everything is setup properly and the plugin can reach Proofpoint, it will show something like:
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. image:: images/ETPRO_telemetry_widget_active.png
|
||
|
||
The status determines which ruleset your sensor will receive, **ACTIVE** or **DORMANT** your sensor will receive ET Pro rule,
|
||
when **DISABLED** the license conditions are not met and ET Open will be served.
|
||
|
||
All timestamps underneath the status provide you with information when data was send or received from Proofpoint.
|
||
|
||
.. Note::
|
||
|
||
If your sensor will start sending events and heartbeats, it should switch to active after a certain amount of time.
|
||
|
||
|
||
In case your sensor can't communicate to the outside world, the widget shows an error.

|
||
|
||
.. Note::
|
||
|
||
The system log (:menuselection:`System --> Log Files --> General`) might contain more information, search for *emergingthreats*

Information sent to Proofpoint ©
|
||
--------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
When the intrusion detection system logs events, they will be (partially) sent to Proofpoint in return for using the
|
||
ET Pro Telemetry edition.
|
||
|
||
This paragraph describes the attributes from the
|
||
`eve.json <https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/suricata-4.1.0/output/eve/eve-json-format.html>`__ log file
|
||
that are collected to improve threat detection.
|
||
|
||
An example of an event is detailed below.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: json
|
||
|
||
{
|
||
"event_type": "alert",
|
||
"proto": "IPV6-ICMP",
|
||
"timestamp": "2018-04-17T18:38:04.498109+0200",
|
||
"in_iface": "em1",
|
||
"alert": {
|
||
"category": "Generic Protocol Command Decode",
|
||
"severity": 3,
|
||
"rev": 2,
|
||
"gid": 1,
|
||
"signature": "SURICATA zero length padN option",
|
||
"action": "allowed",
|
||
"signature_id": 2200094
|
||
},
|
||
"src_ip": "xxxx:xxxx:fec0:d65f",
|
||
"flow_id": 982154378249516,
|
||
"dest_ip": "ff01:fe00:1200:8900:0000:f000:0000:0016"
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
|
||
Network addresses are needed to identify hosts which pose a higher risk to your and other peoples network, but your internal
|
||
addresses are kept secret.
|
||
|
||
For this reason we mask the addresses found in the log file and only send the last number(s) to identify the host.
|
||
In the example above the *src_ip* is an internal IPv6 address, for IPv4 we only collect the last number (e.g. 0-255).
|
||

*Threats change often, to keep statistics valuable, the list of fields is subject to change*
|
||
|
||
.. Note::
|
||
|
||
The plugin comes with a small script to print eve output yourself, it's called **dump_data.py**, when used with the **-p**
|
||
parameter, it will output the data as it will be sent to Proofpoint.
|

All script code can be found in the following directory */usr/local/opnsense/scripts/ids_telemetry/*
