As I discussed in my last post about Dionaea I am really impressed with the improvements to logging capabilities over Nepenthes. I’ve now had a Dionaea system online for ~24hours, which while it isn’t enough data to draw any meaningful statistics, it has provided enough data to work on some new tools. I had been intending to extend my Nepenthes tools to parse the logs and enter data into a database for additional and simpler analysis. This was promptly squashed with the migration to Dionaea, but the theory has proven to be a good one as Dionaea’s default logging to an SQLite database has made development much quicker and easier.
To get a feel for the new system, and to keep my capabilities up to speed, I’ve spent this evening writing a script to provide the same information for a Dionaea system that my Nepenthes statistics script provided previously. As usual, the script can be found over at InfoSanity, here. An initial set of results from my system is below for an example:

  1. Hi,
    query listing which dcerpc call got addressed how often, result looks like this:
    attacks|dcerpc_uuid|dcerpcservice_name|dcerpc_opnum|dcerpc_op|vuln
    3899|12345778-1234-abcd-ef00-0123456789ac|samr|62||

    Query:
    SELECT
    COUNT(*) AS attacks,
    dcerpc_uuid,
    dcerpcservice_name,
    dcerpc_opnum,
    ( SELECT dcerpcserviceop_name FROM dcerpcserviceops WHERE dcerpcservice = x.dcerpcservice and dcerpcserviceop_opnum = y.dcerpc_opnum ) AS dcerpc_op,
    ( SELECT dcerpcserviceop_vuln FROM dcerpcserviceops WHERE dcerpcservice = x.dcerpcservice and dcerpcserviceop_opnum = y.dcerpc_opnum ) AS vuln
    FROM
    dcerpcs as y
    JOIN dcerpcservices AS x ON( dcerpc_uuid = dcerpcservice_uuid)
    GROUP BY
    dcerpc_uuid,
    dcerpc_opnum
    ORDER BY
    COUNT(*)
    DESC;
    The tables dcerpcservices and dcerpcserviceops do not exist ‘yet’, you’ll have to update to current svn, and start dionaea, it will add the new tables to your existing database and populate them during startup.

  2. Hi Markus,
    thanks for the tip, definitely should be useful for mapping active/trending attacks. I’ll add it to my ever growing list of queries to implement, logging to SQL has my head spinning with possibilities.
    And thanks for the time and effort it must be taking to develop these systems. I have enjoyed my time working with the systems you and the other devs have produced.
    Andrew

  3. Nice script but you have a bug. If uptime is less than 1 day the daily averages will break as it tries to divide by 0. Just needs something like:
    if uptime.days > 0:
    averageDownloads = numSubmissions / uptime.days
    else:
    averageDownloads = numSubmissions

    1. Nice catch, I’ve never run with less than a days worth of logs so I didn’t get caught out in my testing (no excuse I know…). I’ll implement your fix and update.
      Thanks for letting me know.
