How to secure MQTT?
MQTT is a messaging protocol broadly used in IoT and connected services, very lightweight and reliable even over poor quality networks. It is designed lightweight so it can work on constrained devices but, even in its latest version MQTTv5, the attack surface is very large.206Views0likes0CommentsDashboards for NGINX App Protect
Introduction NGINX App Protect is a new generation WAF from F5 which is built in accordance with UNIX philosophy such that it does one thing well everything else comes from integrations. NGINX App Protect is extremely good at HTTP traffic security. It inherited a powerful WAF engine from BIG-IP and light footprint and high performance from NGINX. Therefore NGINX App Protect brings fine-grained security to all kinds of insertion points where NGINX use to be either on-premises or cloud-based. Therefore NGINX App Protect is a powerful and flexible security tool but without any visualization capabilities which are essential for a good security product. As mentioned above everything besides primary functionality comes from integrations. In order to introduce visualization capabilities, I've developed an integration between NGINX App Protect and ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) as one of the most adopted stacks for log collection and visualization. Based on logs from NGINX App Protect ELK generates dashboards to clearly visualize what WAF is doing. Overview Dashboard Currently, there are two dashboards available. "Overview" dashboard provides a high-level view of the current situation and also allows to discover historical trends. You are free to select any time period of interest and filter data simply by clicking on values right on the dashboard. Table at the bottom of the dashboard lists all requests within a time frame and allows to see how exactly a request looked like. False Positives Dashboard Another useful dashboard called "False Positives" helps to identify false positives and adjust WAF policy based on findings. For example, the chart below shows the number of unique IPs that hit a signature. Under normal conditions when traffic is mostly legitimate "per signature" graphs should fluctuate around zero because legitimate users are not supposed to hit any of signatures. Therefore if there is a spike and amount of unique IPs which hit a signature is close to the total amount of sources then likely there is a false positive and policy needs to be adjusted. Conclusion This is an open-source and community-driven project. The more people contribute the better it becomes. Feel free to use it for your projects and contribute code or ideas directly to the repo. The plan is to make these dashboards suitable for all kinds of F5 WAF flavors including AWAF and EAP. This should be simple because it only requires logstash pipeline adjustment to unify logs format stored in elasticsearch index. If you have a project for AWAF or EAP going on and would like to use dashboards please feel free to develop and create a pull request with an adjusted logstash pipeline to normalize logs from other WAFs.

Scope This technical article is useful for BIG-IP users familiar with web application security and the implementation and use of the Elastic Stack.This includes, application security professionals, infrastructure management operators and SecDevOps/DevSecOps practitioners. The focus is for WAF logs exclusively.Firewall, Bot, or DoS mitigation logging into the Elastic Stack is the subject of a future article. Introduction This article focusses on the required configuration for sending Web Application Firewall (WAF) logs from the BIG-IP Advanced WAF (or BIG-IP ASM) module to an Elastic Stack (a.k.a. Elasticsearch-Logstash-Kibana or ELK). First, this article goes over the configuration of BIG-IP.It is configured with a security policy and a logging profile attached to the virtual server that is being protected. This can be configured via the BIG-IP user interface (TMUI) or through the BIG-IP declarative interface (AS3). The configuration of the Elastic Strack is discussed next.The configuration of filters adapted to processing BIP-IP WAF logs. Finally, the article provides some initial guidance to the metrics that can be taken into consideration for visibility.It discusses the use of dashboards and provides some recommendations with regards to the potentially useful visualizations. Pre-requisites and Initial Premise For the purposes of this article and to follow the steps outlined below, the user will need to have at least one BIG-IP Adv. WAF running TMOS version 15.1 or above (note that this may work with previous version but has not been tested).The target BIG-IP is already configured with: A virtual Server A WAF policy An operational Elastic Stack is also required. The administrator will need to have configuration and administrative privileges on both the BIG-IP and Elastic Stack infrastructure.They will also need to be familiar with the network topology linking the BIG-IP with the Elastic Search cluster/infrastructure. It is assumed that you want to use your Elastic Search (ELK) logging infrastructure to gain visibility into BIG-IP WAF events. Logging Profile Configuration An essential part of getting WAF logs to the proper destination(s) is the Logging Profile.The following will go over the configuration of the Logging Profile that sends data to the Elastic Stack. Overview of the steps: Create Logging Profile Associate Logging Profile with the Virtual Server After following the procedure below On the wire, logs lines sent from the BIG-IP are comma separated value pairs that look something like the sample below: Aug 25 03:07:19 localhost.localdomainASM:unit_hostname="bigip1",management_ip_address="192.168.41.200",management_ip_address_2="N/A",http_class_name="/Common/log_to_elk_policy",web_application_name="/Common/log_to_elk_policy",policy_name="/Common/log_to_elk_policy",policy_apply_date="2020-08-10 06:50:39",violations="HTTP protocol compliance failed",support_id="5666478231990524056",request_status="blocked",response_code="0",ip_client="10.43.0.86",route_domain="0",method="GET",protocol="HTTP",query_string="name='",x_forwarded_for_header_value="N/A",sig_ids="N/A",sig_names="N/A",date_time="2020-08-25 03:07:19",severity="Error",attack_type="Non-browser Client,HTTP Parser Attack",geo_location="N/A",ip_address_intelligence="N/A",username="N/A",session_id="0",src_port="39348",dest_port="80",dest_ip="10.43.0.201",sub_violations="HTTP protocol compliance failed:Bad HTTP version",virus_name="N/A",violation_rating="5",websocket_direction="N/A",websocket_message_type="N/A",device_id="N/A",staged_sig_ids="",staged_sig_names="",threat_campaign_names="N/A",staged_threat_campaign_names="N/A",blocking_exception_reason="N/A",captcha_result="not_received",microservice="N/A",tap_event_id="N/A",tap_vid="N/A",vs_name="/Common/adv_waf_vs",sig_cves="N/A",staged_sig_cves="N/A",uri="/random",fragment="",request="GET /random?name=' or 1 = 1' HTTP/1.1\r\n",response="Response logging disabled" Please choose one of the methods below.The configuration can be done through the web-based user interface (TMUI), the command line interface (TMSH), directly with a declarative AS3 REST API call, or with the BIG-IP native REST API.This last option is not discussed herein. TMUI Steps: Create Profile Connect to the BIG-IP web UI and login with administrative rights Navigate to Security >> Event Logs >> Logging Profiles Select “Create” Fill out the configuration fields as follows: Profile Name (mandatory) Enable Application Security Set Storage Destination to Remote Storage Set Logging Format to Key-Value Pairs (Splunk) In the Server Addresses field, enter an IP Address and Port then click on Add as shown below: Click on Create Add Logging Profile to virtual server with the policy Select target virtual server and click on the Security tab (Local Traffic >> Virtual Servers : Virtual Server List >> [target virtualserver] ) Highlight the Log Profile from the Available column and put it in the Selected column as shown in the example below (log profile is “log_all_to_elk”): Click on Update At this time the BIG-IP will forward logs Elastic Stack. TMSH Steps: Create profile ssh into the BIG-IP command line interface (CLI) from the tmsh prompt enter the following: create security log profile [name_of_profile] application add { [name_of_profile] { logger-type remote remote-storage splunk servers add { [IP_address_for_ELK]:[TCP_Port_for_ELK] { } } } } For example: create security log profile dc_show_creation_elk application add { dc_show_creation_elk { logger-type remote remote-storage splunk servers add { 10.45.0.79:5244 { } } } } 3. ensure that the changes are saved: save sys config partitions all Add Logging Profile to virtual server with the policy 1.From the tmsh prompt (assuming you are still logged in) enter the following: modify ltm virtual [VS_name] security-log-profiles add { [name_of_profile] } For example: modify ltm virtual adv_waf_vs security-log-profiles add { dc_show_creation_elk } 2.ensure that the changes are saved: save sys config partitions all At this time the BIG-IP sends logs to the Elastic Stack. AS3 Application Services 3 (AS3) is a BIG-IP configuration API endpoint that allows the user to create an application from the ground up.For more information on F5’s AS3, refer to link. In order to attach a security policy to a virtual server, the AS3 declaration can either refer to a policy present on the BIG-IP or refer to a policy stored in XML format and available via HTTP to the BIG-IP (ref. link). The logging profile can be created and associated to the virtual server directly as part of the AS3 declaration. For more information on the creation of a WAF logging profile, refer to the documentation found here. The following is an example of a pa rt of an AS3 declaration that will create security log profile that can be used to log to Elastic Stack: "secLogRemote": { "class": "Security_Log_Profile", "application": { "localStorage": false, "maxEntryLength": "10k", "protocol": "tcp", "remoteStorage": "splunk", "reportAnomaliesEnabled": true, "servers": [ { "address": "10.45.0.79", "port": "5244" } ] } In the sample above, the ELK stack IP address is 10.45.0.79 and listens on port 5244 for BIG-IP WAF logs.Note that the log format used in this instance is “Splunk”.There are no declared filters and thus, only the illegal requests will get logged to the Elastic Stack.A sample AS3 declaration can be found here. ELK Configuration The Elastic Stack configuration consists of creating a new input on Logstash.This is achieved by adding an input/filter/ output configuration to the Logstash configuration file.Optionally, the Logstash administrator might want to create a separate pipeline – for more information, refer to this link. The following is a Logstash configuration known to work with WAF logs coming from BIG-IP: input { syslog { port => 5244 } } filter { grok { match => { "message" => [ "attack_type=\"%{DATA:attack_type}\"", ",blocking_exception_reason=\"%{DATA:blocking_exception_reason}\"", ",date_time=\"%{DATA:date_time}\"", ",dest_port=\"%{DATA:dest_port}\"", ",ip_client=\"%{DATA:ip_client}\"", ",is_truncated=\"%{DATA:is_truncated}\"", ",method=\"%{DATA:method}\"", ",policy_name=\"%{DATA:policy_name}\"", ",protocol=\"%{DATA:protocol}\"", ",request_status=\"%{DATA:request_status}\"", ",response_code=\"%{DATA:response_code}\"", ",severity=\"%{DATA:severity}\"", ",sig_cves=\"%{DATA:sig_cves}\"", ",sig_ids=\"%{DATA:sig_ids}\"", ",sig_names=\"%{DATA:sig_names}\"", ",sig_set_names=\"%{DATA:sig_set_names}\"", ",src_port=\"%{DATA:src_port}\"", ",sub_violations=\"%{DATA:sub_violations}\"", ",support_id=\"%{DATA:support_id}\"", "unit_hostname=\"%{DATA:unit_hostname}\"", ",uri=\"%{DATA:uri}\"", ",violation_rating=\"%{DATA:violation_rating}\"", ",vs_name=\"%{DATA:vs_name}\"", ",x_forwarded_for_header_value=\"%{DATA:x_forwarded_for_header_value}\"", ",outcome=\"%{DATA:outcome}\"", ",outcome_reason=\"%{DATA:outcome_reason}\"", ",violations=\"%{DATA:violations}\"", ",violation_details=\"%{DATA:violation_details}\"", ",request=\"%{DATA:request}\"" ] } break_on_match => false } mutate { split => { "attack_type" => "," } split => { "sig_ids" => "," } split => { "sig_names" => "," } split => { "sig_cves" => "," } split => { "staged_sig_ids" => "," } split => { "staged_sig_names" => "," } split => { "staged_sig_cves" => "," } split => { "sig_set_names" => "," } split => { "threat_campaign_names" => "," } split => { "staged_threat_campaign_names" => "," } split => { "violations" => "," } split => { "sub_violations" => "," } } if [x_forwarded_for_header_value] != "N/A" { mutate { add_field => { "source_host" => "%{x_forwarded_for_header_value}"}} } else { mutate { add_field => { "source_host" => "%{ip_client}"}} } geoip { source => "source_host" } } output { elasticsearch { hosts => ['localhost:9200'] index => "big_ip-waf-logs-%{+YYY.MM.dd}" } } After adding the configuration above to the Logstash parameters, you will need to restart the Logstash instance to take the new logs into configuration.The sample above is also available here. The Elastic Stack is now ready to process the incoming logs.You can start sending traffic to your policy and start seeing logs populating the Elastic Stack. If you are looking for a test tool to generate traffic to your Virtual Server, F5 provides a simpleWAF tester tool that can be found here. At this point, you can start creating dashboards on the Elastic Stack that will satisfy your operational needs with the following overall steps: ·Ensure that the log index is being created (Stack Management >> Index Management) ·Create a Kibana Index Pattern (Stack Management>>Index patterns) ·You can now peruse the logs from the Kibana discover menu (Discover) ·And start creating visualizations that will be included in your Dashboards (Dashboards >> Editing Simple WAF Dashboard) A complete Elastic Stack configuration can be found here – note that this can be used with both BIG-IP WAF and NGINX App Protect. Conclusion You can now leverage the widely available Elastic Stack to log and visualize BIG-IP WAF logs.From dashboard perspective it may be useful to track the following metrics: -Request Rate -Response codes -The distribution of requests in term of clean, blocked or alerted status -Identify the top talkers making requests -Track the top URL’s being accessed -Top violator source IP An example or the dashboard might look like the following:12KViews5likes6CommentsPush NGINX Plus and App Protect metrics/logs to Cloudwatch
Hi, I have NGINX Plus with App Protect instances scaling in/out via AWS Autoscaling group. These instances are also connected to an NGINX Controller (after running controller agent script). I want to collect and push NGINX Controller Agent Metrics to AW Cloudwatch but I don't find any documentation for that. Please suggest a way to push these metrics to AWS Cloudwatch. Specifically I am looking to collect system metrics like system.disk.free or system.mem.available etc and push it to Cloudwatch logs. Ultimately I need to create an alarm in cloudwatch that will send an alert based on disk and mem usage of any NGINX Plus instances of the Autoscaling group. Are there any nginx plus directives that allow me to push these as a log entry to cloud watch?

Intro NGINX security modules ecosystem becomes more and more solid. Current App Protect WAF offering is now extended by App Protect DoS protection module. App Protect DoS inherits and extends the state-of-the-art behavioral L7 DoS protection that was initially implemented on BIG-IPand now protects thousands of workloads around the world. In this article, I’ll give a brief explanation of underlying ML-based DDoS prevention technology and demonstrate few examples of how precisely it stops various L7 DoS attacks. Technology It is important to emphasize the difference between the general volumetric-based protection approach that most of the market uses and ML-based technology that powers App Protect DoS. Volumetric-based DDoS protection is an old and well-known mechanism to prevent DDoS attacks. As the name says, such a mechanism counts the number of requests sharing the same source or destination, then simply drops or applies rate-limiting after some threshold crossed. For instance, requests sourcing the same IP are dropped after 100 RPS, requests going to the same URL after 200 RPS, and rate-limiting kicks in after 500 RPS for the entire site. Obviously, the major drawback of such an approach is that the selection criterion is too rough. It can causeerroneous drops of valid user requests and overall service degradation. The phenomenon when a security measure blocks good requests is called a “false positive”. App Protect DoS implements much more intelligent techniques to detect and fight off DDoS attacks. At a high level, it monitors all ongoing traffic and builds a statistical model in other words a baseline in aprocesscalled “learning”. The learning process almost never stops, thereforea baseline automatically adjusts to the current web application layout, a pattern of use, and traffic intensity. This is important because it drastically reduces maintenance cost and reaction speed for the solution. There is no more need to manually customize protection configuration for every application or traffic change. Infinite learning produces a legitimate question. Why can’t the system learn attack traffic as a baseline and how does it detect an attack then? To answer this question let us define what a DDoS attack is. A DDoS attack is a traffic stream that intends to deny or degrade access to a service. Note, the definition above doesn’t focus on the amount of traffic. ‘Low and slow’ DDoS attacks can hurt a service as severely as volumetric do. Traffic is only considered malicious when a service level degrades. So, this means that attack traffic can become a baseline, but it is not a big deal since protected service doesn’t suffer. Now only the “service degradation” term separates us from the answer. How does the App Protect DoS measure a service degradation? As humans, we usually measure the quality of a web service in delays. The longer it takes to get a response the more we swear. App Protect DoS mimics human behavior by measuring latency for every single transaction and calculates the level of stress for a service. If overall stress crosses a threshold App Protect DoS declares an attack. Think of it; a service degradation triggers an attack signal, not a traffic volume. Volume is harmless if an application servermanages to respond quickly. Nice! The attack is detected for a solid reason. What happens next? First of all, the learning process stops and rolls back to a moment when the stress level was low. The statistical model of the traffic that was collected during peacetime becomes a baseline for anomaly detection. App Protect DoS keeps monitoring the traffic during an attack and uses machine learning to identify the exact request pattern that causes a service degradation. Opposed to old-school volumetric techniques it doesn’t use just a single parameter like source IP or URL, but actually builds as accurate as possible signature of entire request that causes harm. The overall number of parameters that App Protect DoS extracts from every request is in the dozens. A signature usually contains about a dozen including source IP, method, path, headers, payload content structure, and others. Now you can see that App Protect DoS accuracy level is insane comparing to volumetric vectors. The last part is mitigation. App Protect DoS has a whole inventory of mitigation tools including accurate signatures, bad actor detection, rate-limiting or even slowing down traffic across the board, which it usesto return service. The strategy of using those is convoluted but the main objective is to be as accurate as possible and make no harm to valid users. In most cases, App Protect DoS only mitigates requests that match specific signatures and only when the stress threshold for a service is crossed. Therefore, the probability of false positives is vanishingly low. The additional beauty of this technology is that it almost doesn’t require any configuration. Once enabled on a virtual server it does all the job "automagically" and reports back to your security operation center. The following lines present a couple of usage examples. Demo Demo topology is straightforward. On one end I have a couple of VMs. One of them continuously generates steady traffic flow simulating legitimate users. The second one is supposed to generate various L7 DoS attacks pretending to be an attacker. On the other end, one VM hosts a demo application and another one hosts NGINX with App Protect DoS as a protection tool. VM on a side runs ELK cluster to visualize App Protect DoS activity. Workflow of a demo aims to showcase a basic deployment example and overall App Protect DoS protection technology. First, I’ll configure NGINX to forward traffic to a demo application and App Protect DoS to apply for DDoS protection. Then a VM that simulates good users will send continuous traffic flow to App Protect DoS to let it learn a baseline. Once a baseline is established attacker VM will hit a demo app with various DoS attacks. While all this battle is going on our objective is to learn how App Protect DoS behaves, and that good user's experience remains unaffected. Similar to App Protect WAF App Protect DoS is implemented as a separate module for NGINX. It installs to a system as an apt/yum package. Then hooks into NGINX configuration via standard “load_module” directive. load_module modules/ngx_http_app_protect_dos_module.so; Once loaded protection enables under either HTTP, server, or location sections. Depending on what would you like to protect. app_protect_dos_enable [on|off] By default, App Protect DoS takes a protection configuration from a local policy file “/etc/nginx/BADOSDefaultPolicy.json” { "mitigation_mode" : "standard", "use_automation_tools_detection": "on", "signatures" : "on", "bad_actors" : "on" } As I mentioned before App Protect DoS doesn’t require complex config and only takes four parameters. Moreover, default policy covers most of the use cases therefore, a user only needs to enable App Protect DoS on a protected object. The next step is to simulate good users’ traffic to let App Protect DoS learn a good traffic pattern. I use a custom bash script that generates about 6-8 requests per second like an average surfing activity. While inspecting traffic and building a statistical model of good traffic App Protect DoS sends logs and metrics to Elasticsearch so we can monitor all its activity. The dashboard above represents traffic before/after App Protect DoS, degree of application stress, and mitigations in place. Note that the rate of client-side transactions matches the rate of server-side transactions. Meaning that all requests are passing through App Protect DoS and there are not any mitigations applied. Stress value remains steady since the backend easily handles the current rate and latency does not increase. Now I am launching an HTTP flood attack. It generates several thousands of requests per second that can easily overwhelm an unprotected web server. My server has App Protect DoS in front applying all its’ intelligence to fight off the DoS attack. After a few minutes of running the attack traffic, the dashboard shows the following situation. The attack tool generated roughly 1000RPS. Two charts on the left-hand side show that all transactions went through App Protect DoS and were reaching a demo app for a couple of minutes causing service degradation. Right after service stress has reached a threshold an attack was declared (vertical red line on all charts). As soon as the attack has been declared App Protect DoS starts to apply mitigations to resume the service back to life. As I mentioned before App Protect DoS tries its best not to harm legitimate traffic. Therefore, it iterates from less invasive mitigations to more invasive. During the first several seconds when App Protect DoS just detected an attack and specific anomaly signature is not calculated yet. App Protect DoS applies an HTTP redirect to all requests across the board. Such measure only adds a tiny bit of latency for a web browser but allows it to quickly filter out all not-so-intelligent attack tools that can’t follow redirects. In less than a minute specific anomaly signature gets generated. Note how detailed it is. The signature contains 11 attributes that cover all aspects: method, path, headers, and a payload. Such a level of granularity and reaction time is not feasible neither for volumetric vectors nor a SOC operator armed with a regex engine. Once a signature is generated App Protect DoS reduces the scope of mitigation to only requests that match the signature. It eliminates a chance to affect good traffic at all. Matching traffic receives a redirect and then a challenge in case if an attacker is smart enough to follow redirects. After few minutes of observation App Protect DoS identifies bad actors since most of the requests come from the same IP addresses (right-bottom chart). Then switches mitigation to bad actor challenge. Despite this measure hits all the same traffic it allows App Protect DoS to protect itself. It takes much fewer CPU cycles to identify a target by IP address than match requests against the signature with 11 attributes. From now on App Protect DoS continues with the most efficient protection until attack traffic stops and server stress goes away. The technology overview and the demo above expose only a tiny bit of App Protect DoS protection logic. A whole lot of it engages for more complicated attacks. However, the results look impressive. None of the volumetric protection mechanisms or even a human SOC operator can provide such accurate mitigation within such a short reaction time. It is only possible when a machine fights a machine.4.4KViews1like3Commentsvirtual server with two service or more
