Intro

Bagaimana anda melacak aktivitas yang sah dan tidak sah di server anda? OSSEC adalah salah satu tool yang dapat anda instal di server anda untuk melacak aktivitas tersebut.

OSSEC adalah sistem deteksi intrusi berbasis open-source (host-based intrusion detection system / HIDS) yang melakukan analisis log, pengecekan integritas, pemantauan registri Windows, deteksi rootkit, peringatan berbasis waktu, dan respons aktif. Ini bisa digunakan untuk memantau satu server atau ribuan server dalam mode server / agent.

Jika dikonfigurasi dengan benar, OSSEC dapat memberi anda tampilan real-time ke dalam apa yang terjadi di server anda.

Apa keuntungan OSSEC?

Di bawah ini contoh email notifikasi dari OSSEC, memperlihatkan ada yang mengubah file /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf.

OSSEC HIDS Notification.
2014 Nov 29 09:45:15

Received From: kuruji->syscheck
Rule: 552 fired (level 7) -> "Integrity checksum changed again (3rd time)."
Portion of the log(s):

Integrity checksum changed for: '/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf'
Size changed from '7521' to '7752'

Jika anda menerima peringatan semacam itu, dan anda tidak mengharapkan file itu berubah, berarti anda tahu ada sesuatu yang tidak sah yang terjadi di server anda.

Berikut contoh email peringatan lainnya dari OSSEC, yang menunjukkan bahwa file /etc/ossec/testossec.txt telah dihapus.

OSSEC HIDS Notification.
2014 Nov 29 10:56:14

Received From: kuruji->syscheck
Rule: 553 fired (level 7) -> "File deleted. Unable to retrieve checksum."
Portion of the log(s):

File /etc/ossec/testossec.txt was deleted. Unable to retrieve checksum.

Sekali lagi, jika anda tidak menghapus file tersebut, anda harus mencari tahu apa yang terjadi pada server anda.

Prasyarat

  • Ubuntu server
  • ssh
  • sudo su

Instalasi aplikasi pendukung

apt update
apt install postfix make gcc build-essential inotify-tools


Step 1 — Download & Verifikasi OSSEC

cd /usr/local/src
wget -U ossec https://github.com/ossec/ossec-hids/archive/2.9.0.tar.gz

Kalau harus cek checksum, contoh versi 2.8.1

cd /usr/local/src
wget -U ossec http://www.ossec.net/files/ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz
wget -U ossec http://www.ossec.net/files/ossec-hids-2.8.1-checksum.txt

Cek nilai Seharusnya checksum

cat ossec-hids-2.8.1-checksum.txt

Output

MD5(ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz)= c2ffd25180f760e366ab16eeb82ae382
SHA1(ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz)= 0ecf1df09558dc8bb4b6f65e1fb2ca7a7df9817c

Check

md5sum ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz

Output harusnya

c2ffd25180f760e366ab16eeb82ae382  ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz

Check

sha1sum  ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz

Output harusnya

0ecf1df09558dc8bb4b6f65e1fb2ca7a7df9817c  ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz

Step 2 — Install OSSEC

OSSEC bisa dipasang di server, agent, local atau hybrid mode. Instalasi ini untuk memantau server yang diinstal OSSEC. Itu berarti instalasi lokal. Lakukan

tar -zxf ossec-hids-2.8.1.tar.gz

After that, you should have a directory named ossec-hids-2.8.1. To start installation, you have to change (cd) into that directory, which you do by typing:

cd ossec-hids-2.8.1

To see the contents of the directory that you're now in, use the ls command by typing:

ls -lgG

You should see these files and directories:

total 100
drwxrwxr-x  4  4096 Sep  8 21:03 active-response
-rw-rw-r--  1   542 Sep  8 21:03 BUGS
-rw-rw-r--  1   289 Sep  8 21:03 CONFIG
drwxrwxr-x  6  4096 Sep  8 21:03 contrib
-rw-rw-r--  1  3196 Sep  8 21:03 CONTRIBUTORS
drwxrwxr-x  4  4096 Sep  8 21:03 doc
drwxrwxr-x  4  4096 Sep  8 21:03 etc
-rw-rw-r--  1  1848 Sep  8 21:03 INSTALL
-rwxrwxr-x  1 32019 Sep  8 21:03 install.sh
-rw-rw-r--  1 24710 Sep  8 21:03 LICENSE
-rw-rw-r--  1  1664 Sep  8 21:03 README.md
drwxrwxr-x 30  4096 Sep  8 21:03 src 

The only file of interest to us in that listing is install.sh. That's the OSSEC installation script. To initiate installation, type:

./install.sh

You will be prompted to answer some installation questions.

The first task that will be required of you is the selection of the language. As shown in the output below, the default is English. Throughout the installation process, if you're required to make a selection, any entry in square brackets is the default. If the default is what you want, press the ENTER key to accept the default. Other than having to type your email address, we recommend that you accept all the defaults — unless you know what you're doing.

Entries are shown in red.

So if your language is English, press ENTER. Otherwise, type the two letters for your language and press ENTER.

 (en/br/cn/de/el/es/fr/hu/it/jp/nl/pl/ru/sr/tr) [en]:

After selecting the language, you should see this:

OSSEC HIDS v2.8 Installation Script - http://www.ossec.net

 You are about to start the installation process of the OSSEC HIDS.
 You must have a C compiler pre-installed in your system.
 If you have any questions or comments, please send an e-mail
 to dcid@ossec.net (or daniel.cid@gmail.com).

  - System: Linux kuruji 3.13.0-36-generic
  - User: root
  - Host: kuruji

  -- Press ENTER to continue or Ctrl-C to abort. --

After pressing ENTER, you should get:

1- What kind of installation do you want (server, agent, local, hybrid or help)? local

Type local and press ENTER. You should get:

 - Local installation chosen.

2- Setting up the installation environment.

 - Choose where to install the OSSEC HIDS [/var/ossec]:

Accept the default and press ENTER. After that, you'll get:

   - Installation will be made at  /var/ossec .

3- Configuring the OSSEC HIDS.

 3.1- Do you want e-mail notification? (y/n) [y]:

Press ENTER.

 - What's your e-mail address? sammy@example.com

Type the email address where you want to receive notifications from OSSEC.

 - We found your SMTP server as: mail.example.com.
 - Do you want to use it? (y/n) [y]:

--- Using SMTP server: mail.example.com.

Press ENTER unless you have specific SMTP server settings you want to use.

Now's time to let OSSEC know what checks it should be running. In response to any prompt from the script, accept the default by pressing ENTER.

ENTER for the integrity check daemon.

 3.2- Do you want to run the integrity check daemon? (y/n) [y]:

- Running syscheck (integrity check daemon).

ENTER for rootkit detection.

 3.3- Do you want to run the rootkit detection engine? (y/n) [y]:

- Running rootcheck (rootkit detection).

ENTER for active response.

 3.4- Active response allows you to execute a specific command based on the events received.  
  Do you want to enable active response? (y/n) [y]:
  Active response enabled.

Accept the defaults for firewall-drop response. Your output may show some IPv6 options – that's fine.

 Do you want to enable the firewall-drop response? (y/n) [y]:

- firewall-drop enabled (local) for levels >= 6

  - Default white list for the active response:
     - 8.8.8.8
     - 8.8.4.4
  - Do you want to add more IPs to the white list? (y/n)? [n]:

You may add your IP address here, but that's not necessary.

OSSEC will now present a default list of files that it will monitor. Additional files can be added after installation, so press ENTER.

3.6- Setting the configuration to analyze the following logs:

   -- /var/log/auth.log
   -- /var/log/syslog
   -- /var/log/dpkg.log
- If you want to monitor any other file, just change
  the ossec.conf and add a new localfile entry.
  Any questions about the configuration can be answered
  by visiting us online at http://www.ossec.net .


  --- Press ENTER to continue ---

By this time, the installer has all the information it needs to install OSSEC. Kick back and let the installer do its thing. Installation takes about 5 minutes. If installation is successful, you are now ready to start and configure OSSEC.

   Note: One reason installation might fail is if a compiler is not installed. In that case, you'll get an error like this:
   5- Installing the system
    - Running the Makefile
   ./install.sh: 85: ./install.sh: make: not found
    Error 0x5.
    Building error. Unable to finish the installation.
   If you get that error, then you need to install build-essential, as explained in the Prerequisites section of the tutorial.

If installation succeeds, you should see this type of output:

- System is Debian (Ubuntu or derivative).
- Init script modified to start OSSEC HIDS during boot.
- Configuration finished properly.
- To start OSSEC HIDS:
               /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control start
- To stop OSSEC HIDS:
               /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control stop
- The configuration can be viewed or modified at /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf
   ---  Press ENTER to finish (maybe more information below). ---

OSSEC is now installed. The next step is to start it. Step 3 — Start OSSEC

By default OSSEC is configured to start at boot, but the first time, you'll have to start it manually.

If you want to check its current status, type:

/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control status

Expected output:

ossec-monitord not running...
ossec-logcollector not running...
ossec-syscheckd not running...
ossec-analysisd not running...
ossec-maild not running...
ossec-execd not running...

That tells you that none of OSSEC's processes are running.

To start OSSEC, type:

/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control start

You should see it starting up:

Starting OSSEC HIDS v2.8 (by Trend Micro Inc.)...
Started ossec-maild...
Started ossec-execd...
Started ossec-analysisd...
Started ossec-logcollector...
Started ossec-syscheckd...
Started ossec-monitord...
Completed.

If you check the status again, you should get confirmation that OSSEC is now running.

/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control status

This output shows that OSSEC is running:

ossec-monitord is running...
ossec-logcollector is running...
ossec-syscheckd is running...
ossec-analysisd is running...
ossec-maild is running...
ossec-execd is running...

Right after starting OSSEC, you should get an email that reads like this:

OSSEC HIDS Notification.
2014 Nov 30 11:15:38

Received From: ossec2->ossec-monitord
Rule: 502 fired (level 3) -> "Ossec server started."
Portion of the log(s):

ossec: Ossec started.

That's another confirmation that OSSEC is working and will send you email alerts whenever something it's configured to monitor happens. Even when it is restarted, OSSEC will send you an email.

If you didn't get this email right away, don't worry. You may still need to tweak your email settings (which we'll cover later in the tutorial) to make sure your OSSEC server's emails can get through to your mail provider. This is especially true for some 3rd-party email service providers like Google and Fastmail.

Step 4 — Configure OSSEC for Real-time Alerts on File Modifications

Next, let's get to know OSSEC's files and directories, and learn how to change OSSEC's monitoring and alert settings.

In this tutorial, we'll modify OSSEC to notify you whenever a file is modified, deleted, or added to directories that you specify. Getting to know OSSEC's directory structure

OSSEC's default directory is a chroot-ed (sandbox) environment that only a user with root (admin) privileges can access. A standard user cannot cd into /var/ossec or even list the files in it. As the root (or admin) user, however, you can.

So, cd into the installation directory by typing:

cd /var/ossec

To list the files in your new working directory, type:

ls -lgG

You should see these files and directories:

total 40
dr-xr-x---  3 4096 Nov 26 14:56 active-response
dr-xr-x---  2 4096 Nov 20 20:56 agentless
dr-xr-x---  2 4096 Nov 20 20:56 bin
dr-xr-x---  3 4096 Nov 29 00:49 etc
drwxr-x---  5 4096 Nov 20 20:56 logs
dr-xr-x--- 11 4096 Nov 20 20:56 queue
dr-xr-x---  4 4096 Nov 20 20:56 rules
drwxr-x---  5 4096 Nov 20 21:00 stats
dr-xr-x---  2 4096 Nov 20 20:56 tmp
dr-xr-x---  3 4096 Nov 29 18:34 var
   OSSEC's main configuration file is in the /var/ossec/etc directory.
   Predefined rules are in the /var/ossec/rules directory
   Commands used to manage OSSEC are in /var/ossec/bin
   Take note of the /var/ossec/logs directory. If OSSEC ever throws an error, the /var/ossec/logs/ossec.log file in that directory is the first place to look

Main configuration file, /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf

To access the main configuration file, you have to change into /var/ossec/etc. To do that, type:

cd /var/ossec/etc

If you do an ls while in that directory, you'll see these files and directories:

ls -lgG

Results:

total 120
-r--r----- 1 97786 Sep  8 22:03 decoder.xml
-r--r----- 1  2842 Sep  8 22:03 internal_options.conf
-r--r----- 1  3519 Oct 30 13:46 localtime
-r--r----- 1  7752 Nov 29 09:45 ossec.conf
-rw-r----- 1    87 Nov 20 20:56 ossec-init.conf
drwxrwx--- 2  4096 Nov 20 21:00 shared

The main configuration file is /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf.

Before modifying the file, make a backup copy, just in case. To make that copy, use the cp command like so:

cp /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf.00

The idea is if your changes don't work or mess up the system, you can revert to the copy and be back to normal. It's the simplest disaster recovery practice that you should always take advantage of.

Now, open ossec.conf by using the nano editor.

nano /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf

The configuration file is a very long XML file with several sections. Email settings

   Note: Email is finicky in general, especially if you are sending to a stricter mail provider like sending to a Gmail address. Check your spam, and tweak your settings if necessary.

The first configuration options you'll see are the email credentials you specified during installation. If you need to specify a different email address and/or SMTP server, this is the place to do it.

<global>
    <email_notification>yes</email_notification>
    <email_to>sammy@example.com</email_to>
    <smtp_server>mail.example.com.</smtp_server>
    <email_from>ossecm@ossec_server</email_from>
</global>

By default, OSSEC sends 12 emails per hour, so you'll not be flooded with email alerts. You can increase or decrease that value by adding the <email_maxperhour>N</email_maxperhour> setting to that section so that it reads:

<global>
    <email_notification>yes</email_notification>
    <email_to>sammy@example.com</email_to>
    <smtp_server>mail.example.com.</smtp_server>
    <email_from>ossecm@ossec_server</email_from>
    <email_maxperhour>N</email_maxperhour>
</global>

Please replace N with the number of emails you want to receive per hour, between 1 and 9999.

Some third-party email service providers (Google and Fastmail, for example) will silently drop alerts sent by OSSEC if the <email_from> address does not contain a valid domain part, like the one in the code block above. To avoid that, make sure that that email address contains a valid domain part. For example:

<global>
    <email_notification>yes</email_notification>
    <email_to>sammy@example.com</email_to>
    <smtp_server>mail.example.com.</smtp_server>
    <email_from>sammy@ossec_server.com</email_from>
</global>

The <email_to> and <email_from> addresses can be the same. For example:

<global>
    <email_notification>yes</email_notification>
    <email_to>sammy@example.com</email_to>
    <smtp_server>mail.example.com.</smtp_server>
    <email_from>sammy@example.com</email_from>
</global>

If you don't want to use an external email provider's SMTP server, you can specify your own SMTP server, if you have one configured. (This is not covered in this tutorial, but you can install Postfix following these instructions.) If your SMTP server is running on the same Droplet as OSSEC, change the <smtp_server> setting to localhost. For example:

<global>
    <email_notification>yes</email_notification>
    <email_to>sammy@example.com</email_to>
    <smtp_server>localhost</smtp_server>
    <email_from>sammy@example.com</email_from>
</global>

OSSEC does not send real-time alerts by default, but this tutorial calls for real-time notifications, so that's one aspect that you're going to modify.

If you still aren't receiving expected emails from OSSEC, check the logs at /var/ossec/logs/ossec.log for mail errors.

Example mail errors:

2014/12/18 17:48:35 os_sendmail(1767): WARN: End of DATA not accepted by server
2014/12/18 17:48:35 ossec-maild(1223): ERROR: Error Sending email to 74.125.131.26 (smtp server)

You can use these error messages to help you debug any issues with receiving email notifications. Frequency of scans

In the <syscheck> section of ossec.conf, which starts like this:

<syscheck>
    <frequency>79200</frequency>

We will turn on alerts for new file creation. Add the line <alert_new_files>yes</alert_new_files> so that it reads like this:

<syscheck>
    <frequency>79200</frequency>

    <alert_new_files>yes</alert_new_files>

For testing purposes, you may also want to set the frequency of the system check to be much lower. By default, the system check is run every 22 hours. For testing purposes, you may want to set this to once a minute, that is, 60 seconds. Revert this to a sane value when you are done testing.

<syscheck>
    <frequency>60</frequency>

    <alert_new_files>yes</alert_new_files>

Directory and file change settings

Right after that, you should see the list of system directories that OSSEC monitors. It reads like:

<directories check_all="yes">/etc,/usr/bin,/usr/sbin</directories>
<directories check_all="yes">/bin,/sbin</directories>

Let's enable real-time monitoring by adding the settings report_changes="yes" realtime="yes" to each line. Modify these lines so they read:

<directories report_changes="yes" realtime="yes" check_all="yes">/etc,/usr/bin,/usr/sbin</directories>
<directories report_changes="yes" realtime="yes" check_all="yes">/bin,/sbin</directories>

report_changes="yes" does exactly what is says. Ditto for realtime="yes".

In addition to the default list of directories that OSSEC has been configured to monitor, you can add new directories that you wish to monitor. In this next section, I'm going to tell OSSEC to monitor /home/sammy and /var/www. For that, I'm going to add a new line right under the existing ones, so that that section now reads:

<directories report_changes="yes" realtime="yes" check_all="yes">/etc,/usr/bin,/usr/sbin</directories>
<directories report_changes="yes" realtime="yes" check_all="yes">/bin,/sbin</directories>

<directories report_changes="yes" realtime="yes" restrict=".php|.js|.py|.sh|.html" check_all="yes">/home/sammy,/var/www</directories>

You should modify the directories to match your desired settings. If your user is not named sammy, you will want to change the path to the home directory.

For the new directories to monitor, we've added the restrict option, which tells OSSEC to monitor only the specified file formats. You don't have to use that option, but it comes in handy when you have other files, like image files, that you don't want OSSEC to alert on.

That's all the changes for ossec.conf. You may save and close the file. Local rules in /var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml

The next file to modify is in the /var/ossec/rules directory, so cd into it by typing:

cd /var/ossec/rules

If you do an ls in that directory, you'll see a bunch of XML files like these:

ls -lgG

Abbreviated output:

total 376
-r-xr-x--- 1  5882 Sep  8 22:03 apache_rules.xml
-r-xr-x--- 1  2567 Sep  8 22:03 arpwatch_rules.xml
-r-xr-x--- 1  3726 Sep  8 22:03 asterisk_rules.xml
-r-xr-x--- 1  4315 Sep  8 22:03 attack_rules.xml
...
-r-xr-x--- 1  1772 Nov 30 17:33 local_rules.xml
...
-r-xr-x--- 1 10359 Sep  8 22:03 ossec_rules.xml
...

Only two of those files are of interest to us now - local_rules.xml and ossec_rules.xml. The latter contains OSSEC's default rule definitions, while the former is where you add your custom rules. In other words, aside from local_rules.xml, you don't modify any files in this directory.

The default rule definitions in ossec_rules.xml are useful to look at so we can modify and copy them into our local rules. In ossec_rules.xml, the rule that fires when a file is added to a monitored directory is rule 554. By default, OSSEC does not send out alerts when that rule is triggered, so the task here is to change that behavior. Here's what rule 554 looks like in the default version:

<rule id="554" level="0">
<category>ossec</category>
<decoded_as>syscheck_new_entry</decoded_as>
<description>File added to the system.</description>
<group>syscheck,</group>
</rule>

OSSEC does not send out an alert if a rule has a level set to 0. We want to modify this rule to raise the alert level. Instead of changing it in the default file, we will copy the rule to local_rules.xml and modify it so that it can trigger an alert.

To do that, make a backup copy of the /var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml file:

cp /var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml /var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml.00

Edit the file with nano:

nano /var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml

Add the new rule at the end of the file. Make sure that it is within the <group> ... </group> tag.

<rule id="554" level="7" overwrite="yes">
<category>ossec</category>
<decoded_as>syscheck_new_entry</decoded_as>
<description>File added to the system.</description>
<group>syscheck,</group>
</rule>

Save and close the file.

Those are all the changes necessary. Restart OSSEC

All that's left now is to restart OSSEC, something that has to be done any time you modify OSSEC's files. To restart OSSEC type:

/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control restart

If all is working correctly, you should receive an email from OSSEC informing you that it has (re)started.

Step 5 — Trigger File Change Alerts

And depending on what happens in the directories that OSSEC has been configured to monitor, you should be getting emails that read something like this:

Now try creating a sample file in /home/sammy

touch /home/sammy/index.html

Wait a minute. Add some content:

nano /home/sammy/index.html

Wait a minute. Delete the file:

rm /home/sammy/index.html

You should start receiving notifications like this:

OSSEC HIDS Notification. 2014 Nov 30 18:03:51

Received From: ossec2->syscheck Rule: 550 fired (level 7) -> "Integrity checksum changed." Portion of the log(s):

Integrity checksum changed for: '/home/sammy/index.html' Size changed from '21' to '46' What changed: 1c1,4 < This is an html file ---

<!doctype html>

This is an html file

Old md5sum was: '4473d6ada73de51b5b36748627fa119b' New md5sum is : 'ef36c42cd7014de95680d656dec62de9' Old sha1sum was: '96bd9d685a7d23b20abd7d8231bb215521bcdb6c' New sha1sum is : '5ab0f31c32077a23c71c18018a374375edcd0b90'

Or this:

OSSEC HIDS Notification. 2014 Dec 01 10:13:31

Received From: ossec2->syscheck Rule: 554 fired (level 7) -> "File added to the system." Portion of the log(s):

New file '/var/www/header.html' added to the file system.

   Note: OSSEC does not send out real-time alerts on file additions, only on file modifications and deletions. Alerts on file additions go out after a full system check, which is governed by the frequency check time in ossec.conf.
   nano /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf
   Setting for frequency:
   <syscheck>
       <frequency>79200</frequency>

Again, if you are not getting emails, check your spam, check your /var/ossec/logs/ossec.log, check your mail logs, etc. Conclusion

I hope this has given you a taste of what OSSEC has to offer. More advanced setups and configurations are possible, so stay tuned for future articles on how to deploy OSSEC to monitor and protect your servers.
