How to tune the signatures of the AIP-SSM-20

Hi all

When I connect my ASA IPS module, I see a lot of signatures with risk of HEIGHT, but they are not activated (ENABLED). I dould so it is recommended to activate all these signatures risk of UPWARD in the IPS. I think that if these signatures risk rating of the TOP, then they should all be activate to combat the threat to security. It will cause performance degradation if all are activate? or it crashes a part of legitimate traffic if all are enabled to combat the thrreat?

I'll be very grateful for your help.

Kind regards.

No, it's definitely not recommended to enable all the signatures on IP addresses. It will certainly be performance degradation because it is not intended to be all activated.

The team of Cisco IPS préactivés current signatures and twist the signatures on each update of the signature, if it is considered at high risk for security. Those who have been turned off are likely to be old signatures that are more current, at this stage unless you don't not patch your hosts to end. IPS will monitor and/or block threats however, it is always the responsibility of the administrator of the host to patch hosts. IPS will only prevent and guide you to patch the end hosts.

    Cannot access the AIP SSM via ASDM

    Problem:

    This error message appears on the GUI.

    Error connecting to sensor. Error Loading Sensor error

    Solution:

    Make sure that the IPS SSM management interface is up/down and check his IP address configured, default gateway and the subnet mask. It is the interface to access the software from Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) on the local computer. Try to ping the address of management of IPS SSM IP interface on the local computer that you want to access the ASDM. If it is impossible to do a ping check the ACLs on the sensor

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I've tried everything recommended above. I can ping the host ASDM the FW and the SSM-10 module. Well, I ping the host machine and the SSM of the ASDM. I opened as wide as possible ACL. I changed the IP addresses and masks several times. The management of the ASA port and the SSM and the PC are on the same subnet.

    A trace of package from the PC to the SSM shows that it is blocked by an ACL rule, and yet I opened wide.   I've seen this kind of problem before and it was solved by applying the double static NAT, but I don't know how to do that if all the IP addresses are on the same subnet.

    Tried everything, need help from high level.

    The IDM software that comes with ASDM does not support java 1.7. The portion of the ASDM ASA supports 1.7 but launch the IPS cmdlet works only with 1.6. The TAC enginner suggested that I use the IME (IPS Manager Express) which is available for free on the Cisco's (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9610/tsd_products_support_general_information.html) Web site.

    I've been playing with it today, and so far it seems to work pretty well.

  • The AIP - SSM to unused ASA connection interface

    Hi people,

    Perhaps, someone has already raised this issue, but I was unable to find anything relevant. We have an ASA with an unused interface (gig0/3). The sensor of the AIP - SSM is physically connected to this interface with the following IP settings:

    Sensor (192.168.2.2/30,192.168.2.1)---interface ASA (192.168.2.1/30)

    It's basically point to point connectivity, and I can reach the ASA of the sensor and the other way around.

    This design is dictated by the lack of a free port on the switch.

    Technically, it should work without any problems, but I can't seem to be able to reach the sensor. There is a switch between my PC and the sensor and the switch has the corresponding static route added. I can reach the switch sensor.

    Is there a security feature hidden I don't know that prevent communication with the sensor.

    And ACL of the sensor allows the traffic to all networks (0.0.0.0/0)

    With the sensor acl set to 0.0.0.0/0, the sensor must be allowing connectivity.

    You can use the 'View of package' command on the sensor to look at packets on the interface command and control to see if the packets are what makes the sensor.

    You say that you have a static route on your switch for the switch reach your sensor. Do you know if your PC is configured to use the switch as the computer's default router. If the PC is to use a different default router, then the other router should also the static route.

    The other possibility is that the SAA itself can be deny traffic.

    Since this is an ASA connected to the MSS interface, the traffic must be routed through the ASA. Standard firewall rules apply to this traffic. The security level of the interfaces can prevent traffic, and an ACL may be necessary in order to allow the circulation of your PC be routed to the SSM.

    NOTE: If you don't want to have to worry about roads, the other alternative is to make the network between the ASA and SSM to be an isolated network that only 2 machines know.

    You can then use PAT static to map a port on the inside of the ASA interface with the address of the SSM 443 https port and map a second port of the SAA within the interfaces to the address of the SSM SSH port.

    How your home PC would simply plug the ASA IP using these specific ports and the ASA would do the translation of port and transmit on the MSS.

    The SSM address could also be dynamically PAT would have on the SAA within the address, so SSM could start the connection to other machines on the inside network.

    Another alternative if you have addresses available on your inside network IP is to use static NAT instead of PAT. And just go forward and has the ASA statically map an IP network on IP of the SSM on the network that only the ASA and the SSM inside could know.

    In both cases the network between the ASA and SSM would not routable at, and you wouldn't have to worry of reproducing static routes anywhere.

    SIDE NOTE: A separate network for the SSM you Becase you will also need to NAT or PAT address of the SSM for the ASA to outside interface. In this way the SSM will be able to connect to Internet to download cisco.com auto updates, and/or pull overall correlation of servers cisco information. It's probably the same configuration that you would already other internal addresses, and just to be sure, you cover the SSM since you have it on a separate subnet.

  • Question of the clock of the AIP - SSM

  • How to tune the parameters IDS MC GIS

    Via the web interface of MC ID, the only signature I can edit parameters AlarmSeverity and EventAction. To adjust other settings, I have to go through the IDM. The problem is, after a deployment of the IDS MC configuration, these parameters are replaced by the default settings of IDS MC.

    I would like to know if it is possible to adjust these settings manually by editing the files on the system IDS MC. I noticed there are some possible files contained in CSCOpx\MDC\etc\ids\xml\sig_data, but not all signatures are defined in those files. Maybe sig settings are stored in one of the Sybase DBs?

    Its becoming a true PITA business IDS by IDS MC due to its limitations.

  • How to tune the loading using SQL LOADER

    Hi all

    I use SQLLDR to load the file into the target. All the files I am receving is ' | ' delimited. Some of the files size more than 3 GB. It takes a lot of time during loading.

    Help me to know if it is possible of tuner SQLLDR.

    Here is the example of control file.

    DOWNLOAD THE DATA
    UTF8 CHARACTER
    INFILE ' / var/hulu/ptp/ABC.txt'
    BADFILE ' / var/hulu/ptp/ABC.bad'
    DISCARDFILE ' / var/hulu/ptp/ABC.dsc'

    IN THE TABLE "PTP_ABC".
    TRUNCATE

    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' |'
    TRAILING NULLCOLS
    (
    CODE,
    DESCRIPTION,
    FILLING,
    COKE
    )

    Change you your current sqlldr using external tables, this make the parallel load automatically, or launch sqlldr processes in the background of a single script.

    We doing something similar to this with the help of a shell like this script:

    nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data01.dat log=my1.log control=my.ctl bad=my1.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
    nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data02.dat log=my2.log control=my.ctl bad=my2.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
    nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data03.dat log=my3.log control=my.ctl bad=my3.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
    nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data04.dat log=my4.log control=my.ctl bad=my4.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
    nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data05.dat log=my5.log control=my.ctl bad=my5.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
    nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data06.dat log=my6.log control=my.ctl bad=my6.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
    nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data07.dat log=my7.log control=my.ctl bad=my7.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
    ...
    

    We are currently opening 20 simultaneous processes and we get an overal 400 000 platelets per second speed. You test what is the maximum number of concurrent processes, you can open.

    Course which you need a first step to split the log into smaller chuncks. In my example, the file data.dat got cut into 20 smaller files, and each of them at the same time got loaded in parallel in the database. If you can not split the file, then you should go for external tables.

    You can always test direct = true without any parallel option. This should be more than noticiable.

  • Reset password for the AIP - SSM-10

    Hello

    I have an ASA5520 with 7.2 v 2 running.

    but the IPS module spftware is 5.1

    When I tried to connect to the > session 1

    He asked me a login and a password.

    I tried the cisco and a few other combinations... but no luck.

    How to reset it? also the procedure to reset on the docs said its password resets or the cisco of the user...

    How can I be sure that the cisco of the user still exists about it or not?

    any help please?

    The only way to get the software for your module is to download via the software centre of Cisco.com. You will need a Smartnet contract or account of the BCC to access downloads.

    You'll be able to reimage the module with the 6.0 software, but it is advisable to reimage it with the most basic image. You can always switch from there!

    Information on the site is in the following document:
