Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_Security] IPS AIC HTTP

 

I agree Tyson. But I was wondering AIC HTTP and FTP are something like FW
inspection which would generate logs, if HTTP or FTP is not RFC compliant.

If a task requires to detect non-RFC compliant HTTP traffic, the solution is
to configure a sig in AIC HTTP, select "Define Web Traffic Policy" and
select "Yes" for "alarm on Non-HTTP traffic".

Please let me know, if the solution is correct?

The AIC is just a signature engine.  Without defining a signature to match
the criteria you want to match the engine itself is not going to do
anything.  Just like the STRING TCP engine isn't going to match data unless
you define parameters to match in signatures.  Here is some clarification
from the documentation.

 

AIC Engine Parameters

The AIC engine defines signatures for deep inspection of web traffic. It
also defines signatures that authorize and enforce FTP commands.

There are two AIC engines: AIC HTTP and AIC FTP.

The AIC engine has the following features:

 

Not the first sentence that states the AIC itself is just an engine.

Hi Tyson

Do we need to configure a signature of AIC engine after enabling AIC http or
just enabling AIC HTTP is suffice to non-RFC compliant traffic.

AIC also has the capability of detecting tunneled traffic.  You could try to
tunnel some traffic with something like PC-Anywhere and see if you can
detect it that way.

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Security] IPS AIC HTTP

 

Hi all

If there is a task asking to configure IPS sesnor to detect HTTP traffic
that non RFC compliant then what should be solution?

Should I just enable AIC HTTP at the path Configuration > Policies >
Signature Definitions > sig0 > All Signatures > Advanced > Miscellaneous >
HTTP Policy > Enable HTTP > Yes

or

Configure enable HTTP AIC and configure a sig by selecting type of "Define
Web Traffic Policy" and select "Yes" for "alarm on Non-HTTP traffic".


I need to verify it. Can someone let me know a simple way on how to generate
non-compliant RFC HTTP traffic to check if it is enough to just enable AIC
HTTP to detect non compliant RFC traffic. 

Please don't tell me to telnet to port 80. I am aware that :-)

I need something like HTTP request without "get". This I can't be simulated
in lab. Any other method that can be simulated in lab? 



Snippet from Help page

Configuration > Policies > Signature Definitions > sig0 > All Signatures >
Advanced > Miscellaneous > Help

Fields 

The following fields are found on the Miscellaneous tab: 

Application Policy-Lets you configure application policy enforcement. 

Enable HTTP -Enables protection for web services. Check the Yes check box to
require the sensor to inspect HTTP traffic for compliance with the RFC.

Max HTTP Requests-Specifies the maximum number of outstanding HTTP requests
per connection.

AIC Web Ports-Specifies the variable for ports to look for AIC traffic.

Enable FTP-Enables protection for web services. Check the Yes check box to
require the sensor to inspect FTP traffic.





With regards
Kings
