Tripwire to PIX/IOS/CatOS agents?

My client is installed Tripwire and they have made Solaris agents and now look at my network devices.

Does anyone have experience with this? I can't find any useful information on the web about the functioning of these 'agents '. I almost expect an agent who lives on a server and connects to get the last configuration, rather than a process running on the box itself. However, if it IS a process that runs on the hardware platform, is it supported by Cisco, or will be the first thing I hear, technical support, be "Uninstall this Tripwire agent and see if the problem goes away."?

I guess you mean Tripwire Enterprise.

Tripwire supports a node "agentless". It's how they handle most I think of network devices. The server TE (frontend) has an agent installed on it and it initiates the connection and sends commands.

Tripwire calls rules COVR (output command Validation rule). Essentially a ssh session is open, then a "sh run" is sent, then analyzed by using a regular expression. You can also use the regex for find and replace certain lines of configuration (such as operating time). Something I saw during the implementation of MARCH is that there is a connection of size max banner. I have not stumbled upon this with Tripwire but if your connections fail, try to reduce your login banner.

I highly recommend the use of SSH and SCP. You can configure it to use TFTP too, but if you have SSH enabled on the device, it's just cleaner. Also, make sure you use variables for credentials. Tripwire has really only a right (in contrast to MARCH). You can create global variables in user name and password and then pull in for credentials when creating the node. This means that you define (or redefine) the name of user and password in 1 place instead of 500.

Make sure that your client has licenses for the nodes of the network. You can't swap the server and network nodes. In addition, make sure you get the network rules of Tripwire.

  • PIX, IOS ipsec troubleshooting commands

    I'm checking isakmp and negotiate IPsec between a PIX 535 and a router in 1711, but do not have knowledge of the command to check the Phase 1 and Phase 2 on both devices.

  • The VPN client VPN connection behind other PIX PIX

    I have the following problem:

    I wanted to establish the VPN connection the client VPN to PIX on GPRS / 3G, but I didn t have a bit of luck with PIX IOS version 6.2 (2).

    So I upgraded PIX to 6.3 (4) to use NAT - T and VPN client to version 4.0.5

    I have configured PIX with NAT-T(isakmp nat-traversal 20), but I still had a chance, he would not go through the 1st phase. As soon as I took nat-traversal isakmp off he started working, and we can connect to our servers.

    Now, I want to connect to the VPN client behind PIX to our customer PIX network. VPN connection implements without problem, but we can not access the servers. If I configure NAT - T on the two PIX, or only on the customer PIX or only on our PIX, no VPN connection at all.

    If I have to connect VPN client behind PIX to the customer's network and you try to PING DNS server for example, on our PIX, I have following error:

    305006: failed to create of portmap for domestic 50 CBC protocol translation: dst outside:194.x.x.x 10.10.1.x

    194.x.x.x is our customer s address IP PIX

    I understand that somewhere access list is missing, but I can not understand.

    Of course, I can configure VPN site to site, but we have few customers and take us over their servers, so it'd just connect behind PIX VPN and client connection s server, instead of the first dial-in and then establish a VPN connection.

    Can you please help me?

    The following is extracted from ASK THE DISCUSSION FORUM of EXPERTS with Glenn Fullage of Cisco.

    I've cut and pasted here for you to read, I think that the problem mentioned below:

    Question:

    Hi Glenn,.

    Following is possible?

    I have the vpn client on my PC, my LAN is protected by a pix. I can launch the vpn client to connect to remote pix. Authenticates the vpn client and the remote pix makes my PC with the assigned ip appropriate to its pool of ip address.

    The problem that I am facing is that I can not anything across the pix remote ping from my PC which is behind my pix. Can you please guide me what I have to do to make this work, if it is possible?

    My PC has a static ip address assigned with the default gateway appropriate pointing to my s pix inside interface.

    Thank you very much for any help provided in advance.

    Response from Glenn:

    First of all, make sure that the VPN connection works correctly when the remote PC is NOT behind a PIX. If that works fine, but then breaks when put behind a PIX, it is probably that the PIX is PAT, which usually breaks IPSec. Add the following command on your PIX VPN client is behind:

    fixup protocol esp-ike

    See http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_sw/v_63/cmdref/df.htm#wp1067379 for more details.

    If it still has issues, you can turn on NAT - T on the remote PIX that ends the VPN, the client and the remote PIX must encapsulate then all IPSec in UDP packets that your PIX will be able to PA correctly. Add the following command on the remote PIX:

    ISAKMP nat-traversal

    See http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_sw/v_63/cmdref/gl.htm#wp1027312 for more details.

    NAT - T is a standard for the encapsulation of the UDP packets inot IETF IPSec packets.

    ESP IPSec (Protocol that use your encrypted data packets) is an IP Protocol, it is located just above IP, rather than being a TCP or UDP protocol. For this reason, it has no TCP/UDP port number.

    A lot of features that make the translation of address of Port (PAT) rely on a single to PAT TCP/UDP source port number ' ing. Because all traffic is PAT would be at the same source address, must be certain uniqueness to each of its sessions, and most devices use the port number TCP/UDP source for this. Because IPSec doesn't have one, many features PAT fail to PAT it properly or at all, and the data transfer fails.

    NAT - T is enabled on both devices of the range, they will determine during the construction of the tunnel there is a PAT/NAT device between them, and if they detect that there is, they automatically encapsulate every IPSec packets in UDP packets with a port number of 4500. Because there is now a port number, PAT devices are able to PAT it correctly and the traffic goes normally.

    Hope that helps.

  • Microsoft RPC (MSRPC) support

    All,

    I have a Windows Server inside my firewall which service must be reached via Microsoft-style RPC (MSRPC) by customers who are outside. How to set the proper firewall? (In which case it is important, the code is FWSM Firewall Version 2.3 (1).)

    If I understand correctly, MSRPC works as follows. (Please alert me on mistakes.) The customer wants to use a service that provides the server, but the service was not a well known port number. Instead, the service is identified by a famous 'programme number.' The customer contacts 135/tcp port on the server, specifies the number of program of your choice and says on what port number of the service is listening. The customer then proceeds to contact service in the usual way (fee connection; full negotiating TCP) on the port, that he learned to use.

    This behavior is a problem. The firewall must allow second connection of the client, but the port of destination may not be known (or so configured in the firewall) in advance. In support of MSRPC, therefore, I expect the firewall to have a correction. There no one for MSRPC, if it is of * seem * to have a non configurable for Sun RPC style. (See PIX Firewall & VPN Config Guide p. 5-29) It is supposed to be a SunRPC correction, example of the documentation implies that you just need to identify the service port forward using "rpcinfo" on the client, and then configure the firewall in a static way. Is it really a good idea? It is possible for the service to use a different port at different times, correct? And how is what is considered fixup? (What correction happening?)

    In any case, documentation mentions MSRPC again in the Appendix devoted to support MS Exhange and suggests the use of the command 'established '. Documentation for this command, however, said that it "allows outbound connections back through the PIX firewall access.» In my case, I am concerned by the incoming connections.

    Thanks a lot for any advice you can offer.

    There are several registry settings that control the functionality of DCOM ports restriction. All of the below named values are located under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet registry (that you must create). Remember, just do it on the server machine. Customers will automatically get port numbers right when they connect to the MCU on the server machine.

    Your firewall configuration

    The firewall between your server and the Internet must be configured as follows:

    Refuse all incoming traffic from the Internet to your server.

    Allow incoming traffic to all customers for the TCP 135 port (and the port UDP 135, if necessary) on your server.

    Allow incoming traffic from all the clients to TCP ports (UDP ports and, if necessary) on your server in the range of Ports (s) indicated above.

  • VLAN on a Cisco 3750 G

    A VLAN is created on a Cisco 3750 G with the last IOS a 'good' way to secure a vmware network?  In this case, I'm hiding vmotion traffic, and the entire network is behind a firewall.  I realize, it would be better to have dedicated and isolated switch, but it's a VLAN on a reliable and secure Cisco switch? Or safety lies elsewhere, for example, encrypt the vmotion traffic or ACL solid?

    Sly-

    I think you got it nailed in your post there are some things you need to do when using VLANs to avoid trouble. The vulnerability referred to as Tom has to do with IOS/CatOS decoding of the VTP frames - just like we see in the Windows RPC/NetbIOS or SMB/CIFS vulnerabilities or other remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, it is possible to design a framework with malicious content that could overflow a buffer, string handling (uncommitted entry), double - frees, etc.. This type of vulns found often by "fuzzing" where you create bad images or images partially wrong and feed them in the unit under test, in the hope of finding an accident or create a denial of service. I remember simple tools like CITI (IP Stack Integrity Checker) to validate the equipment running and occasionally would cause you a switch to plant, especially the more IOS. So it is not limited to any control plane protocols such as VTP, this can also happen in the data plan. The data plan is much more robust because it is attack surface area is much more exposed to attacks that the protocols as VTP and a large number of problems have been corrected. If you look back in history, there are tons of questions of security in the Cisco data plan and other gear in less used features as options of ownership intellectual, management, the fragment of the types and codes rarely used ICMP, TCP sequence overflows. Now, I bet that if the security research community concentrated early protocols such as CDP, VTP and STP - you would have seen several vulnerabilities earlier.

    So to say "don't use VLANs otherwise, you are vulnerable due to a VTP vulnerability" is equivalent to say do not run IP using Cisco routers/switches when both IP and ICMP vulnerabilities exist in the data plan.

    Now, if you had followed that Cisco and other L2 switches providers recommend, you could be not to expose your VTP domain for such attacks and therefore, you are not vulnerable. Just as you would not expose your switches to receive Spanning Tree BPDU or dynamic routing of packets of protocol like OSPF, ISIS, or BGP of unapproved of speakers. Take a look at a blog I posted w/r/t this topic:

    http://blogs.VMware.com/Networking/2009/06/lets-talk-security-DMZs-VLANs-and-L2-attacks.html

    There is a lot of fear in the community about the attacks of L2, because networks and network devices are often a mystery to people server and a bad configuration L2 could be a source of security and stability problems. It is important to educate the community on the possible exposures, and VMware and other leaders of the market as Cisco take the responsibility to do.

    Disclosure on my part - I'm talking to and had operational experience of implementation and now one of the largest networks of data center global worldwide (Global Crossing/GlobalCenter-> later became the exodus-> Savvis) as one of network engineers senior and even 10 years back we would have data center with massive switch of the fabric that the guests accommodated like Yahoo , Ask Jeeves, etc. - isolated and segmented using VLANS. If you go in a large data center hosted today, you certainly would not get your own physical switch and backbone uplink - you would like to share a 6500, a foundry for 100 + often other customers or the great extreme.
