Snort
Snort is an open-source network intrusion prevention system (NIPS) and network intrusion
detection system (NIDS) that is used for detecting and preventing network intrusions. It analyzes network traffic to identify malicious activity, logs packets, and can perform realtime
traffic analysis and packet logging.

Setting Up Snort
sudo apt-get install snort -y
2. Write their interface (you can learn it simply by running `ip a`.

3. Network

4. sudo ip link set ens33 promisc on
5.
vim /etc/snort/snort.conf
6. change any to your ip range (mine is 192.168.152.0/24 )

7. Check the rules and other configurations
snort -T -i ens33 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
You can see that snort is using prewritten rules:
You can disable them by commenting these lines out:

All rules besides $RULE_PATH/local.rules

Now Snort is setup. Next thing to do is to write rules and detect them. Writing the First rule
You can write them manually into `/etc/snort/rules/local.rules`. Or, in this
website http://snorpy.cyb3rs3c.net/. Or, ChatGPT.

Some notations here:
1. choose action type
2. choose protocol
3. source ip/port
4. destination ip/port
5. id (every snort rule should have different id)
6. revision number. Normally after each update of the rule this number increases by
one
7. Message you want to leave there
8. Resulting rule. Copy it.
alert icmp any any -> any any ( msg:"Someone is pinging"; sid:10000; rev:1; )
alert icmp any any -> $HOME_NET any ( msg:"Someone is pinging"; sid:10001; rev:1; )
Write the rules into /etc/snort/rules/local.rules file:
This command will show alerts in real time:
snort -q -l /var/log/snort/ -i ens33 -A console -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
Ping to somewhere and get the alert. You also can try to ping from Kali to
Metasploitable.

Example of its application in unauthorized ssh connections
alert tcp any any -> $HOME_NET 22 (msg:"Possible SSH Brute Force Attack"; flags:S;
threshold:type both, track by_src, count 5,
seconds 60; sid:10002; rev:1;)
Explanation of the rule components:  alert tcp any any -> $HOME_NET 22: This part specifies that the rule is looking for
TCP traffic from any source IP and port, going to any IP within your defined
`HOME_NET` on port 22 (the default SSH port).
 msg:”Possible SSH Brute Force Attack”: The message that will be logged when this
rule is triggered.
 flags:S: This looks for packets with the SYN flag set, which are used to initiate TCP
connections.
 threshold:type both, track by_src, count 5, seconds 60: This is a threshold condition.
It tracks by source IP, and the rule triggers if there are 5 connection attempts (SYN
packets) within 60 seconds.
 sid:10002; rev:1: Every Snort rule needs a unique SID (Snort ID), and a revision
number.
Moreover, add this rule too. This is for checking single TCP connection:
alert tcp any any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"TCP Connection Attempt Detected"; flags:S;
sid:10003; rev:1;)
Write it to the file and run the command.
Then, run Metasploitable and Kali.
Check the rule TCP Connection Attempt Detected:

You can see that we tried to connect to Metasploitable from Kali.
Now let’s check Possible SSH Brute Force Attack.


Drop
Let’s now write a drop rule for getting rid of unwanted FTP connection.
drop tcp any any -> $HOME_NET 21 (msg:"Possible FTP Brute Force Attack"; flags:S;
threshold:type both, track by_src, count 5, seconds 20; sid:10004; rev:1;)
Run ftp brute force with hydra in Kali: hydra -l "root" -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt ftp://192.168.152.129

Extract IPs that get detected:
snort -q -l /var/log/snort/ -i ens33 -A console -c /etc/snort/snort.conf | grep "Possible FTP
Brute Force Attack" | awk '{print $13}' | awk -F ":" '{print $1}' >> drops.txt

Example of Snort’s Application in Detecting XSS
alert tcp any any -> [Metasploitable_IP] 80 (msg:"XSS is Detected";
flow:to_server,established; content:".
Press Enter and get:

You will get the alert:

Bonus: Visualizing logs with web interface
Write the alerts into log file.
snort -q -l /var/log/snort/ -i ens33 -A console -c /etc/snort/snort.conf >
/var/log/snort/alerts.txt
Change directory to the place where logs are stored and open python server here. cd /var/log/snort
python3 -m http.server
Write this simple nodeJS application into app.js.
// Import the Express module to create a web server
const express = require('express');
// Import the Axios module for making HTTP requests
const axios = require('axios');
// Create an instance of an Express application
const app = express();
// Define the port number on which the server will listen
const port = 3000;
// URL of the API from which log data will be fetched.
:/log.file
const api = 'http://192.168.152.130:8000/alerts.txt'

// Define a function to convert log entries into HTML format
const getLogsHtml = (logs) => {
return logs.map(log =>
// Create an HTML structure for each log entry
`

${log.timestamp}

${log.alert}


`
).join('');
};
// Define a route for the root ('/') URL
app.get('/', async (req, res) => {
try {
// Fetch log data from the API using Axios
const response = await axios.get(api);
// Split the data by new line and create an array of log entries
const logEntries = response.data.split('\n');
// Process each log entry and split it into timestamp and alert parts
const formattedLogs = logEntries.map(entry => {
const parts = entry.split(' ');
return { timestamp: parts[0], alert: parts.slice(1).join(' ') };
});
// Convert the log entries into HTML format
const logsHtml = getLogsHtml(formattedLogs);
// HTML template for the page
const htmlTemplate = 'name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">Log <br>Viewer

Log Entries

';
// Insert the log entries HTML into the template
const finalHtml = htmlTemplate.replace('',
logsHtml);
// Send the final HTML as the response
res.send(finalHtml);
} catch (error) {
// Handle any errors by sending a 500 error response res.status(500).send('Error fetching logs');
}
});

// Start the server and listen on the specified port
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});
Install required packages and run the web app:
npm i express axios
node app.js
This code demonstrates a comprehensive setup for logging, serving, and displaying log
data using a combination of Snort, Python, and Node.js. First, it configures Snort to write
alerts to a log file and then starts a Python HTTP server in the directory where these logs
are stored. Next, it outlines a Node.js application using Express and Axios to fetch and
display these logs in a web browser, with a focus on converting log entries into an HTML
format for easy viewing. Finally, it provides commands to install the necessary Node.js
packages and run the web application, completing the end-to-end process of log
management and visualization.
You will have simple real-time Dashboard to see alerts. You may customize it for getting it
more styled and add additional functionality to see other logs and actions.
