Security Onion - Brief
- 1. Security Onion NETWORK SECURITY MONITORING
- 2. What is Security Onion? • Security Onion is a network security monitoring (NSM) system that provides full context and forensic visibility into the traffic it monitors • Designed to make deploying complex open source tools simple via a single package (Snort, Suricata, Sguil, Snorby etc.) • Having the ability to pivot from one tool to the next to seamlessly, provides the most effective collection of network security tools available in a single package • Allows the choice of IDS engines, analysts consoles, web interfaces • Free (Open Source)!!
- 3. What is NSM? “the collection, analysis, and escalation of indications and warnings (I&W) to detect and respond to intrusions.”
- 4. Why do we need NSM? We can take an IDS alert alert ip $EXTERNAL_NET $SHELLCODE_PORTS -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"GPL SHELLCODE x86 inc ebx NOOP"; content:"CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"; fast_pattern:only; classtype:shellcode-detect; sid:2101390; rev:7;) And turn it into something useful! • Full traffic packet captures • Ascii transcripts of traffic • Ability to carve files (or malware) for later analysis
- 5. Installation – It’s Quick and Easy Run as a LiveCD • Great way to test out • Able to do the following installations Quick Setup • Automatically configures most of the applications • Uses Snort and Bro to monitor all network interfaces by default • Also configures and enables Sguil, Squert and Snorby Advanced Setup • More control over the setup of Security Onion • Install either a Sguil server, Sguil sensor, or both • Select either Snort or Suricata IDS engine • Selecting an IDS ruleset, Emerging Threats, Snort VRT, or both • Configure network interfaces monitored by the IDS Engine and Bro
- 6. Automated IDS Rule Updates Pulled Pork keeps all the IDS rules up to date Updates rules from multiple sources (Sourcefire/Snort VRT, Emerging Threats etc.) Ability to disable rules with Pulled Pork (prevent certain events from triggering an alert) Fully automated!
- 7. Can I Write My Own Rules? OF COURSE! •Rules are written using the Snort format •Rules can be added to a local rules configuration file to ensure they are never deleted or overwritten by the automated IDS rules updates •Rules can be set to either alert or drop the traffic
- 8. Security Onion & NSM in Action

Notes de l'éditeur
- Security Onion is a network security monitoring system that provides full context and forensic visibility into the traffic it monitors. At it's heart it is designed to make deploying multiple complex open source tools simple via a single package, reducing what would normally take days to weeks of work to minutes. Featuring Bro IDS, your choice of Snort or Suricata, Sguil analyst console, ELSA, Squert, Snorby and capME web interfaces, and the ability to pivot from one tool to the next seamlessly provides the most effective collection of network security tools available in a single package.
- Its like having a SIEM solution, but with ALL of the associated forensic data to each logged event. NSM gives us the ability to be able to detect and respond to events by having all the necessary information at hand to investigate.
- Take an IDS sig and pivot into full ascii transcript or drop into wireshark to get full details of that traffic.For example, if we’re investigating some sort of drive by malware we now have the ability to grab the traffic from the packet captures and alerts and what not .. And not only see the traffic flows, but be able to carve the files out for later analysisWe can take a windows admin off the street .. Give them this tool, and they can start responding and investigating incidents
- One of the big features of Security Onion is it’s ease of installationWe can run it as a live CD just to see what all the fuss is about .. Maybe need use it to do some basic analysis or whateverThe Quick Setup process automatically configures most of the applications using Snort and Bro to monitor all network interfaces by default. This setup method is used when the IDS server and the IDS sensor are configured on the same system. The Quick Setup process also configures and enables Sguil, Squert and Snorby. Advanced Setup allows more control over the setup of Security Onion. This process is used when an analyst wants to configure a system to: • Install either a Sguil server, Sguil sensor, or both • Select either Snort or Suricata IDS engine • Selecting an IDS ruleset, Emerging Threats, Snort VRT, or both • Configure network interfaces monitored by the IDS Engine and Bro
- Pulledpork is just another tool you can use to keep your snort rules up to date. Like the name says Pulledpork just pulls the Snort rules you need. Not just the VRT rules but also rules from other sources like Emerging ThreatsVRT – Sourcefire Vulnerability Research Team
- Traditionally SecOnion is used as a detection only system, but there is the ability to drop traffic and turn it into an IPS of sorts. Also have the ability to use FWSnort which will pass snort rules and create automated IPTables rules to block traffic under certain conditions (someone ping sweeping or port scanning)
- Expanded the alert to show some detail – sensor – alert id – date/time – source details – destination details – actual alertShow rule (know whats triggered)Show packet data (see whats actually triggered the alert)Ability to use reverse DNS (test environment was disabled)
- Ascii transcript – can also pivot into wiresharkBasic email alert – can be customisedCategorisation of events – can create an analysts console based just upon a certain category of alerts (help desk or windows admins/network admins)
- Security Onion comes with numerous dashboards and web interfaces that are highly customisable.If for whatever reason you find that none of the tools can produce the required output, all the raw data is stored that can be queried however you want – grepawksedcsv headache
- Only shown a few tools included in SecOnionSguil provides one of the best security analyst consoles available in terms of function and utility. Squert and Snorby provide dashboards to Sguil and Snort respectively, and ELSA provides a Splunk-like interface to the log data from Bro & OSSEC.Other toolsabciphttp://sourceforge.net/projects/abcip/"A simple packet crafting tool that turns text commands into pcaps.

- Installation takes minutes – even a Windows admin can knock this upSnort or Suricata for signature-based detection, SnortVRT and/or Emerging Threats signatures available for use.Bro IDS provides visibility into the haystack.Have full context of all activity detected from the host involved. What domains a host queries, SSL certificates it's used, files downloaded, FTP/SMTP/IRC activity? All contextual questions that can help determine whether a signature-based alert is an event or an incident.Full packet capture means that we know exactly what a host did. Sguil and its integration with other tools in Security Onion, such as Network Miner and Wireshark in addition to ELSA, Squert and Snorby via capME, allow usto look at the evidence of a network attack frame by frame exactly as it happened.It’s loaded with tonnes of tools to monitor the network. It's free, well except for the hardware. But it will help you save a lot of money you might otherwise waste on other tools. Maybe we can spend some of that money to make out analysts better??
