NMAP_Scans.json | NMAP Scans Query |
Security Dashboard-1417731761229 | Security Dashboard |
Threat_Analysis.json | Threat Analysis Query |
The second query looks for "Port scan detected" and relies on syslog messages sent from PSAD (Port Scan Automated Detection) running on a system. It analyzes iptables logs and alerts when a port scan is being run.
Taken together, these two queries and the dashboard can give a timeline of a potential attack taking place:
1.) Scans are run looking for open services ("Port scan detected")
2.) Common SSH logins are attempted ("Failed password")
3.) Failing that, the attacker finds a possibly-exploitable program and begins testing ("segfault")
4.) If the attacker gets in, he might create a user for himself or delete one ("new user")
Since /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure are present on nearly every Linux system, this dashboard (even without the PSAD query) can be used in many environments with little to no setup required.
