Snort rules

Lab #3 

Our third lab builds on the “unacceptable site” detection we worked on in Lab #2. In this exercise, we will attempt to accomplish the same goal using the new reputation preprocessor in Snort. The documentation on the reputation preprocessor and the available configuration options are in section 2.2.20  (starting on p. 122) of the Snort Manual, which is posted under General Information under Content for your reference. The basic function of the reputation preprocessor is similar in many ways to basic firewall operation: the preprocessor evaluates source and destination IP addresses in network packets to see if they appear on either a “whitelist” of approved/acceptable addresses or a “black list” of prohibited addresses. Packets containing IP addresses on the blacklist are dropped. The overall intent for this assignment is to block access to the “bad” site you selected for Lab#2 (or a different site chosen for this assignment) by adding the site to a blacklist and enabling the reputation preprocessor in snort.conf.

Please note: If you are using the Virtual Lab, the reputation preprocessor is already configured properly, and the supporting whitelist and blacklist files are stored in /etc/snort/rules. All you need to do is identify the IP address(es) to use and add them to the black.List file.

To complete this assignment successfully using Snort on Windows, you may need to first edit the “snort.conf” file as follows if you did not already configure these items when you first installed Snort:At the end of Step #1, either set the path to the reputation preprocessor file location or comment out these two lines (you can declare the blacklist file directly in the preprocessor configuration settings if you don’t want to use a variable reference).At the end of Step #5, configure the reputation preprocessor. The default configuration should work fine for most students, as long as the file paths and names are accurate for the local installation. Look at the first configuration example on page 120 of the Snort Manual as a guide, which simply includes the preprocessor declaration and the specification of the blacklist and whitelist files. You can run the preprocessor with either or both of these files, so for our purposes, you might just specify a blacklist file. Where the configuration designates a file (such as “black.list” or “white.list”), the file must exist in the location specified, or Snort will generate an error at start-up.Save the “snort.conf” file.

Now, create a blacklist file and put it in the proper directory (such as /etc/snort/rules on Linux or C:Snortetcrules on Windows). A blacklist file is just a plain text file with one IP address (or address range, using CIDR notation) per line. The blacklist file name and file location should match what you specified in the preprocessor configuration in snort.conf. Then startup Snort as you would normally, open a browser, and visit the site corresponding to the IP address(es) in the blacklist file.

For this assignment, compose a short write-up for submission to your Assignments folder that includes the following:The “unacceptable” site you selected in Lab #2 (you can pick a new one for this assignment if you prefer).The IP address (individual, multiple, or range) associated with that site. If you don’t know the IP address, you can either open a command shell and ping the site (e.g. “ping www.facebook.com”), which will return the primary IP address on screen, or you can look up the site on Netcraft.com to find one or more IP addresses used by the site.The contents of the blacklist file the reputation preprocessor references.A brief summary comparing the rule-based and preprocessor-based approaches used in Labs #2 and #3, with an emphasis on identifying any strengths or weaknesses associated with each approach.If you can get Snort to run successfully with the reputation preprocessor active, include the output produced (a copy of the ASCII log file is sufficient).

 

Not sure if this helps:

 

o to the rules folder where you downloaded the VRT certified rules during your Snort install (by default on Windows, this will be C:Snortrules). If you have not yet installed these rules, please do so. If you have any trouble downloading the current VRT rules release package, you can retrieve them from http://polaris.umuc.edu/~sgantz/files/snortrules-2982.tar.gz on my UMUC Polaris server. In the compressed (zipped) package, you are looking for the files that end in “.rules” extensions.

Pick one of the named rules files, open it, and choose a rule. If this is your first exposure to Snort rule syntax, please note that the rules are the sometimes-cryptic looking items starting with the word “alert”. Copy the rule you pick into your response and describe what the rule means in your own words.

Electronic personal health record systems (PHRs) are introduced to develop patient-centered health care by providing medical records and other required information accessible to patients with the idea of helping patients in health self-management. There is a number of different fundamental designs for PHRs. As primary care physicians will play a major role in patient health, PHRs are also to be linked to physician’s electronic medical record systems, so the adoption of PHRs dependent on growth in electronic medical record adoption. Also, many PHRs are physician-oriented and which does not include patient orientated functionalities. PHRs need to provide to support self-management and disease prevention if improvements in health outcomes are to be expected.

There has been a surge in activity around the adoption of PHRs for patients and consumers. There are some issues surrounding PHRs where they are more than just a static repository for patient’s data, they help combine data and convert that into information and provide knowledge which helps patients to participate actively in their own care.

Benefits:

PHRs have a wide variety of potential benefits for consumers. Out of it one of the most important PHR benefits is it has greater patient access to wide array of useful health data, information, and knowledge. Patients can use that to improve their health and manage their diseases. Those kinds of information are highly customized to make PHRs more successful and useful. Patients with illness will be able to track their diseases in conjunction with the providers, by providing earlier help when they see a problem. PHRs will help in improving communication between patients and caregivers which will make it easier for patients and caregivers to ask general questions, to request refills, to set up appointments and also to report problems. PHRs will also benefits to the payers and purchasers for health care include lower diseases, lower management cost, lower medication cost.

Risks:

Although there are many benefits to a PHR system, which may also include some risks. Like, it is very difficult and time consuming to collect all current and past medical information. Patients have to request information from multiple health providers to get complete medical history. Once all the information is collected patients must manual enter the data into their PHR.

Personal Health records are a repository that stores patient’s health related data, an electronic application through which an individual can access, manage and share their health data to others.

Some of the privacy issues that concerns PHR are if the PHR system is hacked and the data is modified, doctors can’t be sure of the accurate data. Since the data can be shared with multiple people, PHR users are not notified when their data is exposed. Additionally, sharing data in case of emergency , it is more likely that data breaches might happen.

Some of the benefits of using PHR are that users can grant or revoke access to their data. It allows more flexibility around what to share, whom to share and at what level. It grants access to patients to a large health information and knowledge. Patients can leverage the access to manage their health issues.Patients will be able to track diseases in parallel with the providers which enables them to act on it on time.

Some of the potential risks with PHR are there is a possibility of inaccurate information if the individual is not pro active in updating their records from time to time. This might cause legal issues for the providers if they rely entirely on the information on the records. Both providers and consumers must trust each other regarding the usage and integrity of the data.
