201 Recommendations for Study
Hello mates, I am a new member of the forum😀 I have to retake my 201 exam again in February and it´s been a while since the last time I touch a F5 device. I tried to look for the PDF which, as I remember, it was pretty solid material for the exam and the last time, I was able to pass the exam at the first attempt by only using the study guide and a F5 device I had on the lab. But I´ve seen recently that the guide is not longer available where it was: https://clouddocs.f5.com/training/community/f5cert/html/class3/class3.html May you kindly recommend me documentation and good material for my study. Much appreciate it! Regards,

The Effect of Persistence on the Round Robin Method
HI F5 Warriors I have a trouble from my costumer.Which in his serveron the server he experiences very different traffic differences between their servers and in the F5 settings he has used the Round Robin method, but in the Persistance Source Address Affiliance profile, so how can the server be able to distribute traffic to the server evenly, due to info from the customer for the apps need persistence profile Thanks for your help!!!
Log4j iRule mitigation as described in K59329043 - which encoding is the regex using ?
Hi Community, just for my understanding - can someone please clarify which encoding is being used in the regex with F5 release under K59329043 in order to mitigate log4j CVEs exploits ? I'm referring to this regex when RULE_INIT { # To switch to a much more aggressive regexp uncomment the first line and comment the second. # set static::log4j_regex {(?i)(\$|\\+(0?44|([u0]00|x)24))'?(\{|\\+(0?173|([u0]00|x)7b))'?} set static::log4j_regex {(?i)(\$|\\+(0?44|([u0]00|x)24))'?(\{|\\+(0?173|([u0]00|x)7b))'?\s*((j|b|\\+(0?1[5140]2|([u0]00|x)[64][a2]))|((\$|\\+(0?44|([u0]00|x)24))?'?(\{|\\+(0?173|([u0]00|x)7b))'?.+?'?(\}|\\+(0?175|([u0]00|x)7d))'?))} } I'm seeing some false positives in the payload of applications where the iRule is at the moment active; nevertheless when I attempt to regex the payload I cannot see any match - so I suspect I might be using the wrong encoding. Thank you for your assistance
F5 BIG-IP Automatic email notification for system live update (ASM/AWAF signature)
Recently had some request from Security team askingan email to be sent from the F5 BIG-IP when it installs an live update such as ASM signature updates via the automatic schedule. upon looking at KBs it doesn't seem to be a natively embedded function for now. So my idea is to trace system log for signature updates, and generate an SNMP message to trigger email notification. Most syslogs and updates could be found from /log/var/ directory while as some event based log such as Signature updates are located in a different place. https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K82512024 The system live update info is located in /var/log/tomcat/liveupdate.log So the thinking is once the system generate a log after the signature Update, you could try to grab log info and use a unique key word to identify completion of update, and use the key word a customised OID to trigger SNMP trap for system notification. Once you schedule or completed an installation: You should be able to see the log generated with following info: cat /var/log/tomcat/liveupdate.log | grep modifiedEntitiesCount XXXX… {"link":"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/signatures/y5tmU8gG6VdfPFaVbRSPLg","name":"Java code injection - java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor"},{"link":"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/signatures/7KeqKA8hHqv2cfJBXRMz9Q","name":"Java code injection - oracle.jms.AQjmsQueueConnectionFactory"},{"link":"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/signatures/-NXlVMOujg3EvdVKd7PVQA","name":"btoa() (URI)"},{"link":"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/signatures/sqa3ct3N1gOjMZLc3KiNsw","name":"SQL-INJ \"UNION SELECT\" (3) (URI)"},{"link":"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/signatures/J4R4I5KgY8akJtm3TOc55w","name":"\"/etc/php4/apache2/php.ini\" access (Parameter)"},{"link":"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/signatures/S2IcFP11pOpAHjFOSBIi3Q","name":"\"mail\" execution attempt (2) (Header)"},{"link":"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/signatures/HUqMOwJ9SHU6mJF0y3HjBg","name":"SQL-INJ convert(db_name) (Header)"}],"modifiedEntitiesCount":1599} The word: modifiedEntitiesCount seemed to only poppulate upon a installation of signature update completion. so we could use the log key world modifiedEntitiesCount to customise a System OID associate with email alerts https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K3727 add something like the following in to/config/user_alert.conf: alert ASM_update_STATUS " modifiedEntitiesCount(.*)" { snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.xxx" } and create an email alert with SNMP Trap https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K3667 alert BIGIP_SIG_UPDATE_COMPLETE { snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.XXX"; email toaddress="demo@askf5.com" fromaddress="root" body="The Signature has been updated!" } This tricks could also apply to any event based notification you 'd like to sent using keyword from log files. https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K16197 If you would like to put some feed from BIG-IP notification instead of using you log server to filter some tailored events, I hope this could be helpful.
