The Summary Mode parameter can have one of the following values: Fire once Fire all Summarize Global summarize

10 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPS v Signature Tuning Scenario 1 A company FTP server stores software that is being beta tested by customers. The company wants to detect unauthorized login attempts. Using the signature search features in the IDM, the network security administrator discovers signature 6250, the FTP Authorization Failure signature. After examining the parameters for signature 6250, the administrator decides to tune the signature as follows: –Change the severity level from informational to high –Add the Deny Connection Inline action to the default action of Produce Alert

12 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPS v Signature Tuning Scenario 2 You are replacing D-Link devices on your network with Linksys wireless devices, but you still have some old D-Link systems that have not yet been replaced. Until they are replaced, you want to make sure that they are not being attacked. You would like to do the following to protect the D-Link devices and other devices on your network: –Alert on any attempt to access a D-Link configuration file from any system other than your management system –Generate a single alert every 5 minutes when the signature is being triggered by a single-source IP address –Use the Deny Packet Inline action to drop traffic from non-D-Link devices You discover that Signature 4611 detects TFTP requests for D- Link configuration files, but it does not meet your requirements to do the following: –Generate a single alert for a single-source IP every 5 minutes –Drop the TFTP request before it reaches its target

16 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPS v Creating Custom Signatures Creating a custom signature requires detailed knowledge of the attack for which you create it. Poorly written signatures can generate false positives and false negatives. You should test a custom signature carefully before you deploy it. The Signature Wizard in the IDM guides you through the process of creating custom signatures and enables you to create custom signatures in either of the following ways: –Using a signature engine –Without using a signature engine You can also create custom signatures without using the Signature Wizard.

17 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPS v Custom Signature Scenario 1 A network security administrator wants to create a custom signature that is triggered by SYN packets destined for port 23. The administrator decides to use the atomic IP engine for the following reasons: Atomic signatures can trigger on the contents of a single packet. The atomic IP engine allows you to select a Layer 4 protocol. You can use the TCP Flags and TCP Mask parameters to specify the flag of interest. You can use the Destination Port Range parameter to specify the destination port of interest.

25 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPS v Custom Signature Scenario 2 A network security administrator wants to create a signature that can detect and drop traffic containing the word confidential. The administrator wants the signature to fire if the traffic is directed to the following ports: FTP: 20 and 21 Telnet: 23 SMTP: 25 HTTP: 80 POP3: 110

26 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPS v Custom Signature Scenario 2 (Cont.) The administrator wants to configure the signature to send alerts to the Event Store as follows: Send an alert to the Event Store every time the signature fires. If the alert rate exceeds 20 alerts in 30 seconds, d ynamically change its response as follows: –Send a summary alert for firings of the signature on the same victim address during the interval. –If the alert rate exceeds 25 in the 30-second interval, send a global summary alert, which counts the number of times the signature fires for all attacker and victim IP addresses and ports.

39 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPS v Custom Signature Scenario 3 A network security administrator wants to create a signature that fires when a Nimda attack is occurring. Nimda triggers the following built-in signatures, which are components of a Nimda attack: –5081: cmd.exe Access –5124: IIS CGI Decode –5114: IIS Unicode Attack –3215: Dot Dot Execute –3216: Dot Dot Crash The administrator wants the sensor to generate an alert for the new signature if the component signatures are triggered by the same attacker within a 60-second time frame. To limit the number of alerts that are generated, the administrator wants the sensor to generate alerts only for the new signature and not for the component signatures.

48 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPS v Summary Cisco IPS signatures can be tuned to company network security policy or network traffic pattern. Custom signatures can be created to meet a unique security requirement. Custom signatures can be created via the IDM Custom Signature Wizard. The Custom Signature Wizard enables you to create custom signatures with or without using a signature engine.

49 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPS v Summary (Cont.) Consider the following before creating a signature with the Signature Wizard: –The network protocol –The target address –The target port –The type of attack –Whether payload inspection is required –Whether the signature can be triggered by the contents of a single packet Be sure to carefully test custom signatures before deploying them.
