    Overview Welcome to Cyberoams IPS Implementation guide. Cyberoam is an Identity-based UTM Appliance. Cyberoams solution is purpose-built to meet the security needs of corporates, government organizations, and educational institutions. Cyberoams perfect blend of best-of-breed solutions includes user based Firewall, Content filtering, Anti Virus, Anti Spam, Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IPS), and VPN. Cyberoam provides increased LAN security by providing separate port for connecting to the publicly accessible servers like Web server, Mail server, FTP server etc. hosted in DMZ which are visible the external world and still have firewall protection. Cyberoam is a real time intrusion detection and prevention system that protects your network from known and unknown attacks by worms and viruses, hackers and other internet risks. Cyberoam appliance at the perimeter of your network analyzes all traffic and prevents attacks from reaching your network. Whether it is a worm, a suspicious web request, a hacker targeting your mail server or any other attack - it simply does not get through. IPS module is an subscription module, which needs to be subscribed before use. From version 9.5.8, Cyberoams Intrusion Detection & Prevention (IDP) feature has been renamed as Cyberoam Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to better reflect the comprehensive capabilities of addressing intrusions. The change in name is a step forward to communicate our robust intrusion prevention capabilities in an industry-standard language. To reflect the change, Web Admin Console menus, submenus and screens are also replaced with "IPS". Please read IDP as IPS in the screen shots and images included in the guide.

    IPS An IPS system is a type of security management system that gathers and analyzes information from a network to identify possible security breaches, which include both intrusions - attacks from outside the organization and misuse - attacks from within the organization. IPS detects and/or prevents malicious activity such as denial of service attacks, port-scans or even attempts to crack into computers by monitoring network traffic. To detect such activity, IPSs use Signatures. Whenever the matching traffic pattern to Signature is found, IPS triggers the alarm and blocks the traffic in reaching its destination. Standard IPS allows defining a global policy that can be applied to source-destination networks/hosts/ports combination. This global policy can be modified or tuned as per the requirement but cannot be tailored per network or per host. As global policy is a general policy for all, standard IPSs generate high amount of false positives and this makes it difficult to pinpoint the host generating malicious traffic or vice verse.

  • Cyberoam IPS Implementation Guide

    7

    Fine tuning global policy means disabling set of signatures for all the networks/hosts. However, this may not be a fit-for-all policy, hence might reduce false positives from one network while increase from another and may not even detect certain obvious malicious activity.

  • Cyberoam IPS Implementation Guide

    8

    Cyberoam IPS Cyberoam IPS also uses Signatures to identify the malicious activity on the network but instead of providing only one policy (global) for managing multiple networks/hosts, allows to tailor the policy per network/host i.e. allows to defining multiple policies for managing multiple networks/hosts. Cyberoam IPS consists of a signature engine with a predefined database of signatures. Pre-defined signatures are not editable. As per your network requirements, Cyberoam allows you to define multiple policies instead of one global policy, to decrease packet latency and reduce false positives. Policy allows you to view Cyberoam predefined signatures and customize the intrusion prevention configuration at the category as well as individual signature level. Categories are signatures grouped together based on the application and protocol vulnerabilities. Each IPS policy contains a set of signatures that the Cyberoam searches for, and log and block and allows to: Enable or disable category from IPS protection Enable or disable individual signature in a category to tailor IPS protection based on your

    network environment Define the action to be taken when the matching traffic pattern is found. Cyberoam can either

    detect or drop the connection. In either of the case, Cyberoam generates the log and alerts the Network Administrator.

    To enable the intrusion detection and prevention functionality, apply the policy using firewall rule. You can create rule to apply single policy for all the user/networks different policies for different users/networks or hosts

    As firewall rules control all traffic passing through the Cyberoam and decides whether to allow or drop the connection, IPS policy will be applied to only that traffic/packet which firewall passes.

    Custom Signature syntax

    Keyword Value Usage

    srcaddr/dstaddr

    ; The source/destination IP address

    srcport/dstport

    ; The source/destination port

    content ""; A string quoted within double quotes.

    Multiple contents can be specified in one rule. The value can contain mixed text and binary data. The binary data is generally enclosed within the pipe (|) character.

    nocase Can be used with content keyword only

    NULL Ignore case in the content value

    rawbytes Can be used with content keyword only

    NULL Ignore any decoding. Look at the raw packet data

    depth Can be used with content keyword only

    ; e.g. depth:5;

    Look for the contents within the specified number of bytes of the payload. If the value of the depth keyword is smaller than the length of the value of the content keyword, this signature will never be matched

    offset Can be used with content keyword only

    ; e.g. content:cgi-bin/phf;offset:4;depth:20;

    Start looking for the contents after the specified number of bytes of the payload. This tag is an absolute value in the payload. Follow the offset tag with the depth tag to stop looking for a match after the value specified by the depth tag. If there is no depth specified, continue looking for a match until the end of the payload.

    distance Can be used with content keyword only

    ; For example content :"ABC";content:"DEF"; distance:1;

    Search for the contents the specified number of bytes relative to the end of the previously matched contents. The distance tag could be followed with the within tag. If there is no value specified for the within tag, continue looking for a match until the end of the payload.

    within Can be used with content keyword only

    ; For example content:"ABC";content:"DEF";within:10;

    Look for the contents within the specified number of bytes of the payload. Use with the distance tag.

  • Cyberoam IPS Implementation Guide

    23

    uricontent uricontent:; For example uricontent:"%3F";

    Search for the normalized request URI field. Binary data can be defined as the URI value.

    isdataat [,relative]; For example content:"PASS";isdataat:50,relative;

    Verify that the payload has data at a specified location. Optionally look for data relative to the end of the previous content match.

    pcre pcre:[!]"(//|m//)[ismxAEGRUB]"; For example pcre:"/BLAH/i";

    The pcre keyword allows rules to be written using perl compatible regular expressions. i - Case insensitive s - Include newlines in the dot metacharacter m - By default, the string is treated as one big line of characters ^ and $ match at the start and end of the string. When m is set, ^ and $ match immediately following or immediately before any newline in the buffer, as well as the very start and very end of the buffer. x - Whitespace data characters in the pattern are ignored except when escaped or inside a character class A - The pattern must match only at the start of the buffer (same as ^ ) E - Set $ to match only at the end of the subject string. Without E, $ also matches immediately before the final character if it is a newline (but not before any other newlines) G - Inverts the "greediness" of the quantifiers so that they are not greedy by default, but become greedy if followed by "?" R - Match relative to the end of the last pattern match (similar to distance:0;) U Match the decoded URI buffers (similar to the uri keyword) B Do not use the decoded buffers (similar to the raw keyword).

    byte_test , [!], , [,relative] [,] [,, string]; oct,dec,hex used with string only For example msg:"AMD procedure 7 plog overflow"; content:"|00 04 93 F3|";content:"|00 00 00 07|"; distance:4.within:4;byte_test:4,>,1000,20,relative;

    Test a byte field against a specific value (with operator). Capable of testing binary values or converting representative byte strings to their binary equivalent and testing them. bytes_to_convert - The number of bytes to pick up from the packet operator - The operation to perform to test the value (,=,!,&) value - The value to test the converted value against

  • Cyberoam IPS Implementation Guide

    24

    offset - The number of bytes into the payload to start processing relative - Use an offset relative to last pattern match big - Process the data as big endian (default) little - Process the data as little endian string - The data is stored in string format in the packet hex - The converted string data is represented in hexadecimal dec - The converted string data is represented in decimal oct - The converted string data is represented in octal

    byte_jump , [,relative] [,multiplier ] [,big] [,little][,string] [,hex] [,dec] [,oct] [,align] [,from_beginning]; oct,dec,hex used with string only For example content:"|00 00 00 01|";distance:4;within:4; byte_jump:4,12,relative,align

    bytes_to_convert - The number of bytes to pick up from the packet multiplier value - multiply the number of calculated bytes by value and skip forward that number of byte operator - The operation to perform to test the value (,=,!,&) value - The value to test the converted value against offset - The number of bytes into the payload to start processing relative - Use an offset relative to last pattern match big - Process the data as big endian (default) little - Process the data as little endian string - The data is stored in string format in the packet hex - The converted string data is represented in hexadecimal dec - The converted string data is represented in decimal oct - The converted string data is represented in octal align round the number of converted bytes upto the next 32 bit boundary from_beginning Skip forward from the

    For example Flags:SF,12

    A - Match the ACK flag F - Match the FIN flag R - Match the RST flag U - Match the URG flag P - Match the PSH flag 1 - Match Reserved bit 1

    2 - Match Reserved bit 2 0 - Match No TCP flags set + - Match on the specified bits, plus any others * - Match if any of the specified bits are set ! - Match if the specified bits are not set

    flow to_client|to_server|from_client | from_server ]; established; bi_direction; [no_stream|only_stream];

    TCP only. The to_server value is equal to the from_client value. The to_client value is equal to the from_server value. The bi_direction tag makes the signature match traffic for both directions. For example, if you have a signature with "--dst_port 80", and with bi_direction set, the signature checks traffic from and to port 80.

    Monitoring IPS

    Once the policies and rules are in place, IPS examines all incoming and outgoing packets, looking for matching signatures. All the detected signatures are logged and identified as IPS alerts. Administrator can view the most recent alerts (if any) from the Dashboard. Alert displays date and time of intrusion, IP address of source and destination of the intrusion, signature name and the severity of the intrusion.
