iRule - XFF different case based on direction
I have an issue with Bitbucket versions where XFF is sent differently depending on the direction of traffic between versions. I am sure other apps have this issue as well. Bitbucket versions ( v7.2.5 --> v8.19.3 ) Can the XFF type case-sensitivity be controlled based on direction. (Right side is a mixed up standard and all upper-case versus the left side is all lower-case.41Views0likes2Commentsxff and geolocation
If I want to create a dos l7 profile that needs to check the xff header as the source address (I will add an http+xff profile), and I want to exclude a country from the dosL7 policy using an LTM policy - can this be done with XFF? can the ltm policy recognise xff addresses' geolocations? If not with ltm policy, can this be done with an irule? thanks, Vered73Views0likes4CommentsiRule that triggers a capture of the HTTP request before rejecting
I'm using the following iRule to block an attack coming from an IP that is behind a proxy; however we can still see the original in the XFF header. So far this iRule is working but would like to trigger a capture to better build a policy in ASM to block. Is there a way to trigger a method to capture and log the full request when we get a match and send the 410?

Hello, I am at a loss. I am a security engineer and one of my jobs is managing the SIEM, which I am building out currently. One of the log sources is, of course, the F5 ASM logs. The problem, however, is that the logs come in with the wrong IP in the source IP field. They come in with IP addresses from our own architecture components such as the ALB or cloudfront instead of correctly parsing the XFF (via the iRule below or otherwise). It definitely has to do with the XFF header situation of our architecture. I have read a boat load of stuff to no avail. Just cannot seem to get the right IP (the ACTUAL origin IP) in the source IP spot. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Architecture: internet/users —> Cloudfront —> ALB —> F5 —> Amazon ECS backend incl. Logrhythm SIEM Also, the profile being used in the LTM is http. We have "insert x-forwarded-for" set to DISABLED, and "Accept XFF" ENABLED, as well as the Alternate XFF box filled in with "X-Forwarded-For" (just to be safe). Desired Solution: We are hoping for the F5 to send its syslog ASM logs to our SIEM (Logrhythm) with the true original IP address listed correctly as the source/client IP address. In other words, We need the SIEM to see the origin IP as the true original IP. Problem: The issues with the xff headers and various IP addresses has created a situation where either Cloudfront, the ALB, the F5, or one of the backend service’s IP address is incorrectly in the original source/client IP spot. The implications of this are far reaching and totally screws things up for our SIEM and security orchestration and all sorts of stuff. iRule Currently Used: We are currently using this iRule which is at the top of the list of execution order. when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::header insert X-Forwarded-For [IP::remote_addr] HTTP::header replace X-Forwarded-For [getfield [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] "," 1] HTTP::header replace X-Forwarded-For-Raw [getfield [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] "," 1] HTTP::header replace CF-Connecting-IP [getfield [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] "," 1] } Example Request seen in the F5 ASM Event Logs (to be fwded to SIEM): GET / HTTP/1.1 X-Forwarded-For: AAA.AAA.AAA.AAA, BBB.BBB.BBB.BBB X-Forwarded-Proto: https X-Forwarded-Port: 443 Host: sub.exampledomain.com X-Amzn-Trace-Id: Root=1-5b67cf53-df48e8adfafafdsaff4a726f X-Amz-Cf-Id: PYTrCasdfafgh_5xIO_P4IpHafdsafsdafETZLgQr4CJEfOpQ== User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Uptime/1.0; http://uptime.com) Via: 1.1 aa9157a1414f639asdfasdfasb7df10.cloudfront.net (CloudFront) CloudFront-Is-Mobile-Viewer: false CloudFront-Is-Tablet-Viewer: false CloudFront-Is-SmartTV-Viewer: false CloudFront-Is-Desktop-Viewer: true CloudFront-Viewer-Country: SG Accept: */* CloudFront-Forwarded-Proto: https x-salt-cloudfront-secret: 6CsSe4cBZwuTBOasdfadUhu3sPKJ5K8SCA X-Forwarded-For: CC.CC.CC.CC X-Forwarded-For-Raw: CC.CC.CC.CC CF-Connecting-IP: CC.CC.CC.CC In this case, the F5 would have CC.CC.CC.CC listed in the source IP Address Thank you very much to anyone who can help!1.7KViews0likes2CommentsiRule error - bad IP address format (line x)

How would I go about replacing the X-Forwarded-For header with a value from another header such as "Real-Client-IP" for example. Something like the below is what i'm statrting with but this obviously isnt working. when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::header replace X-Forwarded-For HTTP::header value Real-Client-IP [HTTP::header value X-Forwarded-For] } Thanks in advance!Solved1KViews0likes2CommentsXFF
We have enabled the option to include XFF ip in the header for a VS. We generate alerts from a pool member of one of the VS' that aid debugging etc. When the XFF address comes through, its in this format: HTTP_X______________ = xxxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxxxx Anyone have any suggestions this has worked fine in the past!585Views1like4Comments
