Nagios Conference 2013 - John Lowry - Using Nagios as a Security Monitoring Framework
- 1. Using Nagios as a Security Monitoring Framework John Lowry johnlowry@gmail.com
- 2. 2 Frameworks > Out of the Box
- 3. 3 Frameworks > Out of the Box OOTB is “one size fits all”
- 4. 4 Frameworks > Out of the Box OOTB is “one size fits all” OOTB assumes things about your infrastructure
- 5. 5 Frameworks > Out of the Box OOTB is “one size fits all” OOTB assumes things about your infrastructure Frameworks require a lot more work upfront
- 6. 6 Frameworks > Out of the Box OOTB is “one size fits all” OOTB assumes things about your infrastructure Frameworks require a lot more work upfront Frameworks mean a steeper learning curve
- 7. 7 Frameworks > Out of the Box OOTB is “one size fits all” OOTB assumes things about your infrastructure Frameworks require a lot more work upfront Frameworks mean a steeper learning curve Framework means it is infinitely configurable
- 8. 8 Frameworks > Out of the Box OOTB is “one size fits all” OOTB assumes things about your infrastructure Frameworks require a lot more work upfront Frameworks mean a steeper learning curve Framework means it is infinitely configurable Framework means it is as good as you want it to be.
- 9. 9 Why Nagios for security?
- 10. 10 Why Nagios for security? Alert framework is robust
- 11. 11 Why Nagios for security? Alert framework is robust Escalations for duty rotation and making sure SOMEONE gets the alert
- 12. 12 Why Nagios for security? Alert framework is robust Escalations for duty rotation and making sure SOMEONE gets the alert It is built for anomaly detection.

- 14. 14 Basic Strategies for Anomaly Detection
- 15. 15 Anomaly Detection Basic “Out of the box” Nagios is pretty good at this
- 16. 16 Anomaly Detection Basic “Out of the box” Nagios is pretty good at this Tells you when a service or a host has problems.
- 17. 17 Anomaly Detection Basic “Out of the box” Nagios is pretty good at this Tells you when a service or a host has problems. Security and sysadmins ask: Why is this HTTP server throwing 500 messages? Why is this SNMP trap getting generated?
- 18. 18 Anomaly Detection Basic “Out of the box” Nagios is pretty good at this Tells you when a service or a host has problems. Security and sysadmins ask: Why is this HTTP server throwing 500 messages? Why is this SNMP trap getting generated? Nagios, when setup correctly, knows what is “normal” and when something anomalous happens you get an alert.
- 19. 20 Noise versus Signal Rabbits versus the Army There is such a thing as too much information False positives train one to ignore alerts
- 20. 21 Triage every alert If it is a valid alert, you are SUPPOSED to fix it. Make a ticket, prioritize it, fix it, DO SOMETHING, do not ignore it.
- 21. 22 Regularly update your monitoring If you are getting false positives, fix the check Tune the frequency, do not be the source of the problem Active tuning, daily, weekly, monthly.
- 22. 23 Integrating External Tools AV IDS/IPS, HIDS, FIC Log monitoring Host and service detection (nmap) SNMP Traps If you get email from a tool and it runs under cron, consider using Nagios to manage it.
- 24. 25 Passive check strategies Results of a passive check is submitted to nagios.cmd and is picked up based on check_results_reaper_event
- 25. 26 Passive check strategies Results of a passive check is submitted to nagios.cmd and is picked up based on check_results_reaper_event Status goes back to “NORMAL” on the next host check.
- 26. 27 Passive check strategies Results of a passive check is submitted to nagios.cmd and is picked up based on check_results_reaper_event Status goes back to “NORMAL” on the next host check. So one alert, instead of multiple alerts.
- 27. 28 Passive check strategies Results of a passive check is submitted to nagios.cmd and is picked up based on check_results_reaper_event Status goes back to “NORMAL” on the next host check. So one alert, instead of multiple alerts. Good for some forensics, not so good if someone misses it.

So one alert, instead of multiple alerts. Good for some forensics, not so good if someone misses it. But this happens anyway.
