Introduction

The Cisco Event Streamer (also known as eStreamer) allows you to stream FireSIGHT System intrusion, discovery, and connection data from the Cisco Defense Center or managed device (also referred to as the eStreamer server) to external client applications.

Note that eStreamer is not supported on virtual devices. To stream events from a virtual device, you can configure eStreamer on the Defense Center that the device reports to.

eStreamer uses a custom application layer protocol to communicate with connected client applications. As the purpose of eStreamer is simply to return data that the client requests, the majority of this guide describes the eStreamer formats for the requested data.

There are three major steps to creating and integrating an eStreamer client with a FireSIGHT System:

1. Write a client application that exchanges messages with the Defense Center or managed device using the eStreamer application protocol. The eStreamer SDK includes a reference client application.

2. Configure a Defense Center or device to send the required type of events to your client application.

3. Connect your client application to the Defense Center or device and begin exchanging data.

This guide provides the information you need to successfully create and run an eStreamer Version 5.4 client application.

Using this Guide

At the highest level, the eStreamer service is a mechanism for streaming data from the FireSIGHT System to a requesting client. The service can stream the following categories of data:

- Intrusion event data and event extra data

- Correlation (compliance) event data

- Discovery event data

- User event data

- Metadata for events

- Host information

- Malware event data

Descriptions of the data structures returned by eStreamer make up the majority of this book. The chapters in the book are:

- Understanding the eStreamer Application Protocol, which provides an overview of eStreamer communications, details some of the requirements for writing eStreamer client applications, and describes the four types of messages used to send commands to and receive data from the eStreamer service.

- Understanding Intrusion and Correlation Data Structures, which documents the data formats used to return event data generated by the intrusion detection and correlation components and the data formats used to represent the intrusion and correlation events.

- Understanding Discovery & Connection Data Structures, which documents the data formats used to return discovery, user, and connection event data.

- Understanding Host Data Structures, which documents the data formats that eStreamer uses to return full host information data when it receives a host information request message.

- Configuring eStreamer, which documents how to configure the eStreamer on a Defense Center or managed device. The chapter also documents the eStreamer command-line switches and provides instructions for manually starting and stopping the eStreamer service and for configuring the Defense Center or managed device to start eStreamer automatically.

- Data Structure Examples, which provides examples of eStreamer message packets in binary format.

- Understanding Legacy Data Structures, which documents the structure of legacy data structures that are no longer in use by the currently shipping product but may be used by older clients.

Prerequisites

To understand the information in this guide, you should be familiar with the features and nomenclature of the FireSIGHT System and the function of its components in general, and with the different types of event data these components generate in particular. Definitions of unfamiliar or product-specific terms can frequently be obtained from the FireSIGHT eStreamer Integration Guide.

Product Versions for FireSIGHT System Releases

Version numbers are used throughout this guide to describe the data format for events generated by the Defense Center and managed devices. The FireSIGHT System Product Versions table lists versions for each product by major release.

Document Conventions

The eStreamer Message Data Type Conventions table lists the names used in this book to describe the various data field formats employed in eStreamer messages. Numeric constants used by the eStreamer service are typically unsigned integer values. Bit fields use low-order bits unless otherwise noted. For example, in a one-byte field containing five bits of flag data, the low-order five bits will contain the data.

IP Addresses

The Cisco database stores IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the same fields in a BINARY format. To get IPv6 addresses, convert to hex notation, for example: 20010db8000000000000000000004321. The database follows the RFC for storing IPv4 addresses by filling in bits 80-95 with 1’s, which yields an invalid IPv6 address. For example, the IPv4 address 10.5.15.1 would be stored as 00000000000000000000FFFF0A050F01.

Understanding the eStreamer Application Protocol

The FireSIGHT System Event Streamer (eStreamer) uses a message-oriented protocol to stream events and host profile information to your client application. Your client can request event and host profile data from a Defense Center, and intrusion event data only from a managed device. Your client application initiates the data stream by submitting request messages, which specify the data to be sent, and then controls the message flow from the Defense Center or managed device after streaming begins.

Throughout this document, the eStreamer service on the Defense Center or a managed device may be referred to as the eStreamer server or eStreamer.

The following sections describe requirements for connecting to the eStreamer service and introduce commands and data formats used in the eStreamer protocol:

- Connection Specifications describes the communication flow between the eStreamer service and your client and describes how the client interacts with it.

- Understanding eStreamer Communication Stages describes the communication protocol for client applications to submit data requests to the eStreamer server and for eStreamer to deliver the requested information to the client.

- Understanding eStreamer Message Types describes the message types used in the eStreamer protocol; discusses the basic structure of data packets used by eStreamer to return intrusion event data, discovery event data, metadata, and host data to a client; and provides other information to help you write a client that can interpret eStreamer messages.

Connection Specifications

The eStreamer service:

- Communicates using TCP over an SSL connection (the client application must support SSL-based authentication).

- Accepts connection requests on port 8302.

- Waits for the client to initiate all communication sessions.

- Writes all message fields in network byte order (big endian).

- Encodes text in UTF-8.

Understanding eStreamer Communication Stages

There are four major stages of communication that occur between a client and the eStreamer service:

1. The client establishes a connection with the eStreamer server and the connection is authenticated by both parties.

See Establishing an Authenticated Connection for more information.

2. The client requests data from the eStreamer service and specifies the types of data to be streamed. A single event request message can specify any combination of available event data, including event metadata. A single host profile request can specify a single host or multiple hosts.

Two request modes are available for requesting event data:

– Event Stream Request — The client submits a message containing request flags that specify the requested event types and version of each type, and the eStreamer server responds by streaming the requested data.

– Extended Request — The client submits a request with the same message format as for Event Stream requests but sets a flag for an extended request. This initiates a message interaction between client and eStreamer server through which the client requests additional information and version combinations not available via Event Stream requests.

For information on requesting data, see Requesting Data from eStreamer.

3. eStreamer establishes the requested data stream to the client.

See Accepting Data from eStreamer for more information.

4. The connection terminates.

See Terminating Connections for more information.

Establishing an Authenticated Connection

Before a client can request data from eStreamer, the client must initiate an SSL-enabled TCP connection with the eStreamer service. The client can request on any configured management interface on the Defense Center or managed device. Client connections do not enforce traffic channel configuration for management interfaces so that configuration can be ignored when choosing an interface for your connection. When the client initiates the connection, the eStreamer server responds, initiating an SSL handshake with the client. As part of the SSL handshake, the eStreamer server requests the client’s authentication certificate, and verifies that the certificate is valid (signed by the Internal Certifying Authority [Internal CA] on the eStreamer server).

Note Cisco recommends that you also require your client to verify that the certificate presented by the eStreamer server has been signed by a trusted Certifying Authority. This is the Internal CA certificate included in the PKCS#12 file that Cisco provides when you register a new eStreamer client with the Defense Center or managed device. See Adding Authentication for eStreamer Clients for more information.

After the SSL session is established, the eStreamer server performs an additional post-connection verification of the certificate. This includes verifying that the client connection originates from the host specified in the certificate and that the subject name of the certificate contains the appropriate value. If either post-connection check fails, the eStreamer server closes the connection. If necessary, you can configure the eStreamer service so that it does not perform a client host name check (see eStreamer Service Options for more information).

While the client is not required to perform post-connection verification, Cisco recommends that the client perform this verification step. The authentication certificate contains the following field values in the subject name of the certificate:

server

After the post-connection verification is finished, the eStreamer server awaits a data request from the client.

Requesting Data from eStreamer

Your client performs the following high-level tasks in managing data requests:

- Initializing the request session — See Establishing a Session.

- Requesting events from the eStreamer event archive — Using Event Stream Requests and Extended Requests to Initiate Event Streaming.

- Requesting host data — See Requesting Host Data.

- Changing a request — See Changing a Request.

Establishing a Session

The client establishes a session by sending an initial Event Stream request to the eStreamer service.

In this initial message, you can either include data request flags or submit the data requests in a follow-on message. This initial Event Stream request message itself is a prerequisite for all eStreamer requests, whether for event data or for host data. For information about using the Event Stream request message, see Event Stream Request Message Format.

Note The eStreamer client can request on any configured management interface on the Defense Center or managed device. Client connections do not enforce traffic channel configuration for management interfaces so that configuration can be ignored when choosing an interface for your connection.

Using Event Stream Requests and Extended Requests to Initiate Event Streaming

The eStreamer service provides two modes of requests for event streaming. Your request can combine modes. In both modes, your client starts the request with an Event Stream request message but sets the request flag bits differently. For details about the Event Stream message format, see Event Stream Request Message Format.

When eStreamer receives an Event Stream request message, it processes the client request as follows:

- If the request message does not set bit 30 in the request flag field, eStreamer begins streaming any events requested by other set bits in the request flag field. For information, see Submitting Event Stream Requests.

- If bit 30 is set in the Event Stream request, eStreamer provides extended request processing. Extended request flags must be sent if this bit is set. For information, see Submitting Extended Requests. Note that eStreamer resolves any duplicate requests. If you request multiple versions of the same data, either by multiple flags or multiple extended requests, the highest version is used. For example, if eStreamer receives flag requests for discovery events version 1 and 6 and an extended request for version 3, it sends version 6.

Submitting Event Stream Requests

Event stream requests use a simple process:

- Your client sends a request message to the eStreamer service with a start date and time and a request flag field that specifies the events and their version level to be included in the data stream.

- eStreamer streams events beginning at the specified time. For information about the streaming protocol, see Accepting Data from eStreamer.

For information on the format and content of the client’s Event Stream request message, see Event Stream Request Message Format.

For information on the event types and versions of events that the client can request, see Table 2-6.

Submitting Extended Requests

If you set bit 30 in the request flags field of an Event Stream Request message, you initiate an extended request, which starts a negotiation with the server. Extended request flags must be sent if this bit is set. For the event types available by extended request, see Table 2-21.

The steps for extended requests are as follows:

- Your client sends an Event Streaming Request message to eStreamer with the request flags bit 30 set to 1 , which signals an extended request. See Event Stream Request Message Format for message format details.

- eStreamer answers with a Streaming Information message that advertises the list of services available to the client. For details about the Streaming Information message, see Streaming Information Message Format.

- The client returns a Streaming Request message that indicates the service it wants to use, with a request list of event types and versions available from that service. The request list corresponds to setting bits in the request flag field when making a standard event stream request. For details about how to use the Streaming Request message to request events, see “Sample Extended Request Messages” section.

- eStreamer processes the client’s Streaming Request message and begins streaming the data at the time specified in the message. For information about the streaming protocol, see Accepting Data from eStreamer.

Requesting Host Data

Once you have established a session, you can submit a request for host data at any time. eStreamer generates information for the requested hosts from the FireSIGHT System network map.

Changing a Request

To change request parameters for an established session, the client must disconnect and request a new session.

Accepting Data from eStreamer

Note The eStreamer server does not keep a history of the events it sends. Your client application must check for duplicate events, which can inadvertently occur for a number of reasons. For example, when starting up a new streaming session, the time specified by the client as the starting point for the new session can have multiple messages, some of which may have been sent in the previous session and some of which were not. eStreamer sends all message that meet the specified request criteria. Your application should detect any resulting duplicates.

During periods of inactivity, eStreamer sends periodic null messages to the client to keep the connection open. If it receives an error message from the client or an intermediate host, it closes the connection.

eStreamer transmits requested data to the client differently, depending on the request mode.

Event Stream Requests

If the client submits an event stream request, eStreamer returns data message by message. It may send multiple messages in a row without waiting for a client acknowledgment. At a certain point, it pauses and waits for the client. The client operating system buffers received data and lets the client process it at its own pace.

If the client request includes a request for metadata, eStreamer sends the metadata first. The client should store it in memory to be available when processing the event records that follow.

Extended Requests

If the client submits an extended request, eStreamer queues up messages and sends them in bundles. eStreamer may send multiple bundles in a row without waiting for a client acknowledgment. At a certain point, it pauses and waits for the client. The client operating system buffers received data and lets the client read it off at its own pace.

The client unpacks each bundle, message by message, and uses the lengths of the records and the blocks to parse each message. The overall message length in each message header can be used to calculate when the end of each message has been reached, and the overall bundle length can be used to know when the end of the bundle is reached. The bundle requires no index of its contents to be correctly parsed.

For information about the message bundling mechanism, see Message Bundle Format.

For information about the null message that the client can use for additional flow control, see Null Message Format.

Terminating Connections

The eStreamer server attempts to send an error message before closing the connection. For information on error messages, see Error Message Format.

The eStreamer server can close a client connection for the following reasons:

- Any time sending a message results in an error. This includes both event data messages and the null keep-alive message eStreamer sends during periods of inactivity.

- An error occurs while processing a client request.

- Client authentication fails (no error message is sent).

- eStreamer service is shutting down (no error message is sent).

Your client can close the connection to eStreamer server at any time and should attempt to use the error message format to notify the eStreamer server of the reason.

Understanding eStreamer Message Types

The eStreamer application protocol uses a simple message format that includes a standard message header and various sub-header fields followed by the record data which contains the message’s payload. The message header is the same in all eStreamer message types; for more information, see eStreamer Message Header.

Description

A

The first two bytes indicate the standard header value of 1. The second two bytes show a value of 1, which signifies that the transmission is an error message.

B

This line indicates the amount of message data that follows it. In this example, 15 bytes (in binary, 1111) of data follow.

C

This line displays the error code. In this example, the message contains a value of 19 (10011). Therefore, error number 19 is transmitted in the message.

D

This line contains the number of bytes in the error message (1001, or nine bytes), and the error message itself follows in the next nine bytes. The error message value, when converted to ASCII text, equals “No space,” which is the error message that accompanies error code 19.

Event Stream Request Message Format

eStreamer clients use the Event Stream Request message to start a streaming session. The request message includes a start time and a bit flag field to specify the data the eStreamer service should include, which can be any combination of events, as well as intrusion event extra data and metadata. The Event Stream Request message can initiate both event stream requests and extended requests. The message type is 2.

You must submit an Event Stream Request message for all data requests, including a request exclusively for host profile information. In such a case, you first submit an Event Stream Request message, then a Host Request message (type 5) to specify the host data.

Table 2-5 Event Stream Request Message Fields

Field

Data Type

Description

Initial Timestamp

uint32

Defines the start of the session. To start at:

- the time the client connects to eStreamer, set all timestamp bits to 1 .

- the oldest data available, set all timestamp bits to zero.

- a given date and time, specify the UNIX timestamp (number of seconds since January 1, 1970).

See Initial Timestamp below for important information.

Request Flags

bits[32]

Specifies the types and versions of events and metadata to be returned in event stream requests. See Request Flags for flag definitions.

Setting bit 30 initiates an extended request, which can co-exist with event stream requests in the same message.

Initial Timestamp

Note Your client application should use the archival timestamp in the Initial Timestamp field when submitting an event stream request, as explained below. This ensures that you do not inadvertently exclude events. Devices transmit data to the Defense Center using a “store and forward” mechanism with transmission delays. If you request events by the generation timestamp assigned by the device that detects it, delayed events may be missed.

When starting a session, a best practice is to start up from the archival timestamp (also known as the “server timestamp”) of the last record in the previous session. It is not a technical requirement but is strongly recommended. Under certain circumstances, if you use the generation timestamp you can inadvertently exclude events from the new streaming session.

To include the archival timestamp in your streamed events, you must set bit 23 in the request flag field.

Note that only time-based events have archival timestamps. Events that eStreamer generates, such as metadata, have zero in this field when extended event headers have been requested with bit 23 set.

Request Flags

You set bits 0 through 29 in the event data request flag field to select the types of events you want eStreamer to send. You set bit 30 to activate the extended request mode. Setting bit 30 does not directly request any data. Extended request flags must be sent if this bit is set. Your client requests data during the server-client message dialog that follows submission of the Event Stream Request message. For information on extended requests, see Requesting Data from eStreamer.

See Table 2-6 for definitions of the bit settings in the Request Flags field. Different flags request different versions of the event data. For example, to obtain data in FireSIGHT System 4.9 format instead of 4.10 format you set a different flag bit. For specific information on the flags to use when requesting data for particular product versions, see Table 2-7.

Note that you request metadata by version, not by the individual metadata record. For information about each supported version of metadata, see Request Flags.

Table 2-6 Request Flags

Bit Field

Description

Bit 0

Requests the transmission of packet data associated with intrusion events. If set to 1, packet data is transmitted with intrusion events. If set to 0, packet data is not transmitted.

Bit 1

Requests the transmission of version 1 metadata associated with intrusion, discovery, correlation, and connection events. If set to 1, version 1 metadata is transmitted with events. If set to 0, version 1 metadata is not transmitted.

You can use metadata to resolve coded and numeric fields in events. See Understanding Metadata for general information on the way eStreamer transmits metadata to clients and how a client can use metadata.

Bit 2

Requests the transmission of intrusion events. If bit 2, bit 6, or both bit 2 and 6 are set to 1, but the extended request flag, bit 30, is set to 0, the system interprets this as a request from a Version 4.x client and record type 104/105 is sent. If no event type is specified when bit 2, bit 6, or both bit 2 and 6 are set to 1, and bit 30 is set to 1, the system interprets this as a request from a Version 5.0-5.1 client and record type 207/208 is sent. If bit 30 is set to 1, and a specific event type is requested, intrusion events are sent regardless of bits 2 and 6.

For details on requesting record types, see Submitting Extended Requests.

If bit 2, bit 6, and bit 30 are all set to 0, intrusion events are not sent.

Bit 6 is used in a manner identical to bit 2. Either bit can be set to request intrusion events. Setting one of these bits to 0 will not override the other bit; setting bit 2 to 0 and bit 6 to 1, or setting bit 2 to 1 and bit 6 to 0, will be interpreted as a request for intrusion events.

Bit 3

Requests the transmission of discovery data version 1 (Defense Center 3.2). If set to 0, discovery data version 1 is not transmitted.

For more information about discovery events, see Understanding Discovery & Connection Data Structures.

Bit 4

Requests the transmission of correlation data version 1 (Defense Center 3.2). If set to 0, correlation data version 1 is not transmitted.

Bit 5

Requests the transmission of impact correlation events (intrusion impact alerts). If set to 1, intrusion impact alerts are transmitted. If set to 0, intrusion impact alerts are not transmitted.

See Intrusion Impact Alert Data 5.3+ for more information about intrusion impact alerts.

Bit 6

Bit 6 is used in a manner identical to bit 2. See Bit 2.

Bit 7

Bit 9

Requests the transmission of correlation data version 2 (Defense Center 4.0 - 4.1.x) if set to 1. If set to 0, correlation policy data version 2 is not transmitted.

Bit 10

Requests the transmission of discovery data version 3 (Defense Center 4.5 - 4.6.1) if set to 1. If set to 0, discovery data version 3 is not transmitted.

For more information about legacy discovery events, see Legacy Discovery Data Structures.

Bit 11

Disables transmission of events.

Bit 12

Requests the transmission of connection data version 3 (Defense Center 4.5 - 4.6.1) if set to 1. If set to 0, connection data version 3 is not sent.

Bit 13

Requests the transmission of correlation data version 3 (Defense Center 4.5 - 4.6.1). If set to 0, correlation data version 3 is not transmitted.

Bit 14

Requests the transmission of version 2 metadata associated with intrusion, discovery, correlation, and connection events. If set to 1, version 2 metadata is transmitted with events. If set to 0, version 2 metadata is not transmitted.

See Understanding Metadata for general information on the way eStreamer transmits metadata to clients and how a client can use metadata.

Bit 15

Requests the transmission of version 3 metadata associated with intrusion, correlation, discovery, and connection events. If set to 1, version 3 metadata is transmitted with events. If set to 0, version 3 metadata is not transmitted.

See Understanding Metadata for general information on the way eStreamer transmits metadata to clients and how a client can use metadata.

Bit 16

Unused

Bit 17

Requests the transmission of discovery data version 4 (Defense Center 4.7 - 4.8.x). If set to 0, discovery data version 4 is not transmitted.

Bit 18

Requests the transmission of connection data version 4 (Defense Center 4.7 - 4.9.0.x) if set to 1. If set to 0, connection data version 4 is not sent. See Connection Chunk Message for more information.

Bit 19

Requests the transmission of correlation data version 4 (Defense Center 4.7). If set to 0, correlation data version 4 is not transmitted.

See Legacy Correlation Event Data Structures for information about correlation events transmitted in Defense Center 4.7 format.

Bit 20

Requests the transmission of version 4 metadata associated with intrusion, discovery, user activity, correlation, and connection events. If set to 1, version 4 metadata is transmitted with events. If set to 0, version 4 metadata is not transmitted.

Version 4 metadata includes the following:

Event Data Message Format

The eStreamer service transmits event data and related metadata to clients when it receives an event request. Event data messages have a message type of 3. Each message contains a single data record with either event data or metadata.

Note that type 3 messages carry only event data and metadata. eStreamer transmits host information in type 6 (single-host) and type 7 (multiple-host) messages. See Host Data and Multiple Host Data Message Format for information on host message formats.

Understanding the Organization of Event Data Messages

The event data and metadata messages that eStreamer sends contain the following sections:

- eStreamer message header — The standard message header defined at eStreamer Message Header.

- Event-specific sub-headers — Sets of fields that vary by event type, with codes that describe additional event details and determine the structure of the payload data that follows.

- Data record — Fixed-length fields and a data block.

Note The client should unpack all messages on the basis of field length.

For the event message formats by event type, see the following:

- Intrusion Event and Metadata Message Format for intrusion event data records and all metadata records. These messages have fixed-length fields.

- Discovery Event Message Format for messages with discovery event or user event data. In addition to the standard eStreamer message header and a record header similar to the intrusion event message, discovery messages have a distinctive discovery event header with an event type and subtype field. The data record in discovery event messages is packaged in a series 1 block that can have variable length fields and multiple layers of encapsulated blocks.

- Connection Event Message Format for messages with connection statistics. Their general structure is identical to discovery event messages. Their data block types, however, are specific for connection statistics.

- Correlation Event Message Format for messages with correlation (compliance) event data. The headers in these messages are the same as in intrusion event messages but the data blocks are series 1 blocks.

- Event Extra Data Message Format for a series of messages that deliver intrusion-related record types with variable-length fields and multiple layers of nested data blocks such as intrusion event extra data. See Event Extra Data Message Format for general information on the structure of this message series. See Data Block Header for information about the structures of this series of blocks which are similar to series 1 blocks but numbered separately.

Host Request Message Format

To receive host profiles, you submit Host Request messages. You can request data for a single host or multiple hosts defined by an IP address range.

Note that it is mandatory for all data requests, including requests for host profile information, to first initialize the session by submitting an Event Stream Request message. To set up for streaming host data only, you can use any of the following request flag settings in your initial Event Stream Request message:

- set the bit for the appropriate version of metadata (this can be beneficial when streaming host data)

- set no request flags

- set bit 11 (to suppress any default event streaming if using legacy versions of eStreamer)

After the initial message, you then use a Host Request message (type 5) to specify the hosts.

Note For legacy eStreamer versions with default event streaming, if you want to stream only host profile data, you need to suppress the default event messages. First send the server an Event Stream Request message with bit 11 in the Request Flags field set to 1; then, send the Host Request message.

Host Data and Multiple Host Data Message Format

eStreamer responds to host requests by sending host data messages, each with a full host profile data block. eStreamer sends one host data message for each host specified in the request. eStreamer uses the type 6 message to respond to requests for a single host profile, and uses the type 7 message to respond to requests for multiple hosts. The formats of the type 6 and type 7 messages are identical, only the message type is different.

Host data messages do not have a record type field. The structure of the message is communicated by the message type and the data block type of the full host profile included in the message. Full host profile data blocks are in the series a group of blocks.

Streaming Information Message Format

When the eStreamer service receives a request for an extended request, it sends the client the Streaming Information message described below. This message advertises the server’s list of available services. Currently, the only relevant option is the eStreamer service (6667), although the message can list other services, which should be ignored. Each advertised service is represented by a Streaming Service Request structure described in Streaming Service Request Structure.

The graphic below illustrates the format for the Streaming Information message. The shaded field is specific to this message type. The preceding three fields are the standard message header.

Streaming Service Request Structure

The eStreamer service sends one Streaming Service Request data structure in the Streaming Information message for each service it advertises. The eStreamer service does not use the last field of the Streaming Service Request, which provides for a list of event types to be included.

The client processes the Streaming Service Request structure from eStreamer and uses the same structure in the response it returns to the server. In the Streaming Service Request that the client sends to the server, it includes, first, a request for the service advertised by eStreamer, and, second, a list of Streaming Event Type structures, which specify the requested event types the client wants to receive.

Each Streaming Event Type structure contains two fields to specify the event type and version for each requested event type. For information on the Streaming Event Type structure, see Streaming Event Type Structure.

Message Bundle Format

The eStreamer server sends messages in a bundle format when the client submits an extended request.

The client responds with a null message to acknowledge receipt of an entire bundle. The client should not acknowledge receipt of individual messages in a bundle.

Message bundles have a message type of 4002.

The graphic below shows the structure of a message bundle. The shaded fields are specific to the bundle message type. The following table describes the content of the fields and data structures.

Description

Header Version

Always 1.

Message Type

uint16

Always 4002.

Message Length

uint32

Length of the content of the message after the message header. Does not include the bytes in the bundle’s Header Version, Message Type, and Message Length fields.

As the client loads a message from the bundle, it can subtract the message’s total length (including header) from the length in this field. As long as the remainder is positive, there are more messages to process.

Connection ID

uint32

A unique identifier for the connection with the server.

Sequence Number

uint32

Starts at 1 and increments by one for each bundle sent by the eStreamer server.

Event Messages []

array

The events streamed by the server in the bundle. Each message has a full set of headers, including message version number (1), archive timestamp if requested, and so forth.

Understanding Metadata

The eStreamer server can provide metadata along with requested event records. To receive metadata, you must explicitly request it. See Request Flags for information on how to request a given version of metadata. The metadata provides context information for codes and numeric identifiers in the event records. For example, an intrusion event contains only the internal identifier of the detecting device, and the metadata provides the device’s name.

Metadata Transmission

If the request message specifies metadata, eStreamer sends the relevant metadata record before it sends any related event records.

Understanding Intrusion and Correlation Data Structures

The eStreamer service transmits a number of data record types to deliver requested events and metadata to the client. This chapter describes the structures of data records for the following types of event data:

- intrusion events data and event extra data generated by managed devices

- correlation (compliance) events generated by the Defense Center

- metadata records

The following sections in this chapter define the event message structures:

- Intrusion Event and Metadata Record Types.

For a general overview eStreamer’s message format for transmitting data records, see Event Data Message Format.

Intrusion Event and Metadata Record Types

The table that follows lists all currently supported record types for intrusion events, intrusion event extra data, and metadata messages. The data for these record types is in fixed-length fields. By contrast, correlation event records contain one or more levels of nested data blocks with variable lengths. The table below provides a link to the chapter subsection that defines the associated data record structure.

For some record types, eStreamer supports more than one version. The table indicates the status of each version (current or legacy). A current record is the latest version. A legacy record has been superseded by a later version but can still be requested from eStreamer.

Identification number of the priority associated with the event.

Source IP Address

uint8[16]

Source IPv4 or IPv6 address used in the event.

Destination IP Address

uint8[16]

Destination IPv4 or IPv6 address used in the event.

Source Port or ICMP Type

uint16

The source port number if the event protocol type is TCP or UDP, or the ICMP type if the event is caused by ICMP traffic.

Destination Port or ICMP Code

uint16

The destination port number if the event protocol type is TCP or UDP, or the ICMP code if the event is caused by ICMP traffic.

uint8

IANA-specified protocol number. For example:

- 0 — IP

- 1 — ICMP

- 6 — TCP

- 17 — UDP

Impact Flags

bits[8]

Impact flag value of the event. The low-order eight bits indicate the impact level. Values are:

- 0x01 (bit 0) — Source or destination host is in a network monitored by the system.

- 0x02 (bit 1) — Source or destination host exists in the network map.

- 0x04 (bit 2) — Source or destination host is running a server on the port in the event (if TCP or UDP) or uses the IP protocol.

- 0x08 (bit 3) — There is a vulnerability mapped to the operating system of the source or destination host in the event.

- 0x10 (bit 4) — There is a vulnerability mapped to the server detected in the event.

- 0x20 (bit 5) — The event caused the managed device to drop the session (used only when the device is running in inline, switched, or routed deployment). Corresponds to blocked status in the FireSIGHT System web interface.

- 0x40 (bit 6) — The rule that generated this event contains rule metadata setting the impact flag to red. The source or destination host is potentially compromised by a virus, trojan, or other piece of malicious software.

- 0x80 (bit 7) — There is a vulnerability mapped to the client detected in the event. (version 5.0+ only)

The following impact level values map to specific priorities on the Defense Center. An X indicates the value can be 0 or 1:

- gray (0, unknown): 00X00000

- red (1, vulnerable): XXXX1XXX, XXX1XXXX, X1XXXXXX, 1XXXXXXX (version 5.0+ only)

Intrusion Impact Alert Data 5.3+

The Intrusion Impact Alert 5.3+ event contains information about impact events. It is transmitted when an intrusion event is compared to the system network map data and the impact is determined. It uses the standard record header with a record type of 9, followed by an Intrusion Impact Alert data block with a series 1 data block type of 153 in the series 1 group of blocks. (The Impact Alert data block is a type of series 1 data block. For more information about series 1 data blocks, see Understanding Discovery (Series 1) Blocks.)

You can request that eStreamer only transmit intrusion impact events by setting bit 5 in the Flags field of the request message. See Event Stream Request Message Format for more information about request messages. Version 1 of these alerts only handles IPv4. Version 2, introduced in 5.3, handles IPv6 events in addition to IPv4.

Intrusion Event Extra Data Record

The eStreamer service transmits the event extra data associated with an intrusion event in the Intrusion Event Extra Data record. The record type is always 110.

The event extra data appears in an encapsulated Event Extra Data data block, which always has a data block type value of 4. (The Event Extra Data data block is a series 2 data block. For more information about series 2 data blocks, see Understanding Series 2 Data Blocks.)

The supported types of extra data include IPv6 source and destination addresses, as well as the originating IP addresses (v4 or v6) of clients connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or load balancer. The graphic below shows the format of the Intrusion Event Extra Data record.

If bit 27 is set in the Request Flags field of the request message, you receive the event extra data for each intrusion event. If you set bit 20, you also receive the event extra data metadata described in Intrusion Event Extra Data Metadata. If you enable bit 23, eStreamer will include the extended event header. See Request Flags for information on setting request flags.

Correlation Event for 5.4+

Correlation events (called compliance events in pre-5.0 versions) contain information about correlation policy violations. This message uses the standard eStreamer message header and specifies a record type of 112, followed by a correlation data block of type 156 in the series 1 set of data blocks. Data block type 156 differs from its predecessor (block type 128) in including IPv6 support.

The 5.4+ version of correlation events has new fields for geolocation, Security Intelligence, and SSL support.

You can request 5.4+ correlation events from eStreamer only by extended request, for which you request event type code 31 and version code 9 in the Stream Request message (see Submitting Extended Requests for information about submitting extended requests). You can optionally enable bit 23 in the flags field of the initial event stream request message, to include the extended event header. You can also enable bit 20 in the flags field to include user metadata.

- 0x01 (bit 0) — Source or destination host is in a network monitored by the system.

- 0x02 (bit 1) — Source or destination host exists in the network map.

- 0x04 (bit 2) — Source or destination host is running a server on the port in the event (if TCP or UDP) or uses the IP protocol.

- 0x08 (bit 3) — There is a vulnerability mapped to the operating system of the source or destination host in the event.

- 0x10 (bit 4) — There is a vulnerability mapped to the server detected in the event.

- 0x20 (bit 5) — The event caused the managed device to drop the session (used only when the device is running in inline, switched, or routed deployment). Corresponds to blocked status in the FireSIGHT System web interface.

- 0x40 (bit 6) — The rule that generated this event contains rule metadata setting the impact flag to red. The source or destination host is potentially compromised by a virus, trojan, or other piece of malicious software.

- 0x80 (bit 7) — There is a vulnerability mapped to the client detected in the event. (version 5.0+ only)

The following impact level values map to specific priorities on the Defense Center. An X indicates the value can be 0 or 1:

- gray (0, unknown): 00X00000

- red (1, vulnerable): XXXX1XXX, XXX1XXXX, X1XXXXXX, 1XXXXXXX (version 5.0+ only)

- orange (2, potentially vulnerable): 00X0011X

Understanding Series 2 Data Blocks

Beginning in version 4.10.0, the eStreamer service uses a second series of data blocks to package certain records such as intrusion event extra data. See Table 3-26 for a list of all block types in the series. Series 2 blocks, like series 1 blocks, support variable-length fields and hierarchies of nested blocks. The series 2 block types include primitive blocks that provide the same mechanism for encapsulating nested inner blocks as the series 1 primitive block types. However, series 2 blocks and series 1 blocks have separate numbering systems.

The following example shows the how primitive blocks are used. The list data block (series 2 block type 31) defines an array of operating system fingerprints (each of which is a type 87 block itself with variable length). The overall type 31 data block length is self-describing via the Data Block Length field, which contains the length of the data portion of the message, excluding the 8 bytes in the block type and block length fields.

Series 2 Primitive Data Blocks

Both series 2 and series 1 blocks include a set of primitives that are used to encapsulate lists of variable-length blocks as well as variable-length strings and BLOBs within messages. These primitive blocks have the standard eStreamer block header discussed above in Data Block Header, but they appear only within other data blocks. Any number can be included in a given block type. For details on the structure of these blocks, see the following:

- String Data Block

- BLOB Data Block

- List Data Block

- Generic List Data Block

String Data Block

The eStreamer service uses the String data block to send string data in messages. These blocks commonly appear within other data blocks to identify, for example, operating system or server names.

Empty String data blocks (containing no data, only the header fields) have a block length of 8. eStreamer uses an empty String data block when it has no content for a string value, as might happen, for example, in the OS vendor string field in an Operating System data block when the vendor of the operating system is unknown.

The String data block has a block type of 0 in the series 2 group of blocks.

Note Strings returned in this data block are not always null-terminated (that is, the string characters are not always followed by a 0).

Understanding Discovery &

Connection Data Structures

This chapter provides details about the data structures used in eStreamer messages for discovery and connection events, as well as the metadata for those events. Discovery and connection event messages use the same general message format and series of data blocks; the differences are in the contents of data blocks themselves.

Discovery events include two sub-categories of events:

- Host discovery events, which identify new and changed hosts on your managed network, including the applications running on the hosts detected from the contents of the packets, and the host vulnerabilities.

- User events, which report the detection of new users and user activity, such as logins.

Connection events report information about the session traffic between your monitored hosts and all other hosts. Connection information includes the first and last packet of the transaction, source and destination IP address, source and destination port, and the number of packets and bytes sent and received. If applicable, connection events also report the client application and URL involved in the session.

For information about requesting discovery or connection events from the eStreamer server, see Request Flags.

For information about the general structure of eStreamer event data messages, see Understanding the Organization of Event Data Messages.

See the following sections in this chapter for more information about discovery and connection event data structures:

- Discovery and Connection Event Data Messages provides a high-level view of the structure that eStreamer uses for host discovery, user, and connection messages.

- Discovery and Connection Event Record Types describes the record types for discovery and connection events.

- Metadata for Discovery Events describes the metadata records that you can request for context information to convert numeric and coded data to text; for example, convert the user ID in an event to a user name.

- Discovery Event Header 5.2+ describes the structure of the standard event header used in all discovery and connection messages, and the values that can occur in the event type and event subtype fields. The event type and subtype fields further define the structure of the data record carried in the message.

- Host Discovery Structures by Event Type describes the structure of the data record that eStreamer uses for the various host discovery event types.

- User Data Structures by Event Type describes the structure of the data record that eStreamer uses for the various user event types.

- Understanding Discovery (Series 1) Blocks describes the series of data block structures that are used to convey complex records in discovery and connection event messages. Series 1 data blocks also appear in correlation events.

- User Vulnerability Data Block 5.0+ describes other series 1 block structures that are used to convey complex user event records.

Tip See “Data Structure Examples” section for examples that illustrate sample discovery events.

Discovery and Connection Event Data Messages

eStreamer packages the data for discovery and connection events in the same message structure, which contains:

- a record header that defines the record type

- a discovery event header that identifies and characterizes the event, and specifically identifies the event type and subtype. For information, see Discovery Event Header 5.2+.

- a data record consisting of a block header and a data block. Discovery and connection event data messages use series 1 data blocks. For information, see Host Discovery and Connection Data Blocks or User Vulnerability Data Block 5.0+.

Discovery and Connection Event Record Types

The following table lists the event record types for host discovery and connection events, and provides links to the event message structure for each record type. The list includes metadata record types as well. Some records contain a single data block which stores a specific piece of data. These data blocks are broken up into series 1 blocks that contain most types of data, and series 2 blocks that specifically contain discovery data. The table also indicates the status of each version (current or legacy). A current record is the latest version. A legacy record has been superseded by a later version but can still be requested from eStreamer.

Discovery Event Header 5.2+

Discovery and connection event messages contain a discovery event header. It conveys the type and subtype of the event, the time the event occurred, the device on which the event occurred, and the structure of the event data in the message. This header is followed by the actual host discovery, user, or connection event data. The structures associated with the different event type/subtype values are described in Host Discovery Structures by Event Type. This header has IPv6 support, and deprecates Discovery Event Header 5.0 - 5.1.1.x.

The event type and event subtype fields of the discovery event header identify the structure of the transmitted event message. Once the structure of the event data block is determined, your program can parse the message appropriately.

- New Operating System Messages

- Identity Conflict and Identity Timeout System Messages

The data block diagrams in the following sections depict the different record data blocks returned in host discovery event messages.

New Host and Host Last Seen Messages

New Host and Host Last Seen event messages have a standard discovery event header and a Host Profile data block (as documented in Host Profile Data Block for 5.2+). The Host Profile data block is block type 139 in series 1.

Note that the Host Last Seen message includes server information only for servers on the host that have changed within the Update Interval set in the discovery detection policy. In other words, only servers that have changed since the system last reported information will be included in the Host Last Seen message.

Note The Host Profile data block differs depending on which system version created the message. For information on legacy versions of the Host Profile data block, see Legacy Host Data Structures.

User Data Structures by Event Type

eStreamer builds user event messages based on the event type indicated in the discovery event header. The following sub-sections describe the high-level structure for each event type:

- User Modification Messages

- User Information Update Message Block

User Modification Messages

When any of the following events occurs through system detection, a user modification message is sent:

- a new user is detected (a New User Identity event—event type 1004, subtype 1)

- a user is removed (a Delete User Identity event—event type 1004, subtype 3)

- a user is dropped (a User Identity Dropped: User Limit Reached event—event type 1004, subtype 4)

User Login Information Data Block

Understanding Discovery (Series 1) Blocks

Most discovery and connection events incorporate one or more data blocks from the series 1 group of data structures. Each series 1 data block type conveys a particular type of information. The block type number appears in the data block header which precedes the data in the block. For information on block header format, see Data Block Header.

Series 1 Data Block Header

The series 1 data block header, like the series 2 block header, has two 32-bit integer fields that contain the block’s type number and the block length.

Data Block Type

Data Block Length

Note The data block length field contains the number of bytes in the entire data block, including the eight bytes of the two data block header fields.

For some block series 1 types, the block header is followed immediately by raw data. In more complex block types, the header may be followed by standard fixed length fields or by the header of a series 1 primitive block that encapsulates another series 1 data block or list of blocks.

Series 1 Primitive Data Blocks

Both series 1 and series 2 blocks include a set of primitives that encapsulate lists of variable-length blocks as well as variable-length strings and BLOBs within messages. These primitive blocks have the standard series 1 block header discussed above. These primitives appear only within other series 1 data blocks. Any number can be included in a given block type. For details on the structure of the primitive blocks, see the following:

- String Data Block

- BLOB Data Block

- List Data Block

- Generic List Block

Host Discovery and Connection Data Blocks

For the list of block types in host discovery and connection events, see Table 4-27. The block types in user events are described in Table 4-82. These are all Series 1 data blocks.

Each entry in the table below contains a link to the subsection where the data block is defined. For each block type, the status (current or legacy) is indicated. A current data block is the latest version. A legacy data block is one that is used for an older version of the product, and the message format can still be requested from eStreamer.

String Data Block

The String data block is used for sending string data in series 1 blocks. It commonly appears within other series 1 data blocks to describe, for example, operating system or server names.

Empty string data blocks (string data blocks containing no string data) have a block length value of 8 and are followed by zero bytes of string data. An empty string data block is returned when there is no content for the string value, as might happen, for example, in the OS vendor string field in an Operating System data block when the vendor of the operating system is unknown.

The String data block has a block type of 0 in the series 1 group of blocks.

Note Strings returned in this data block are not always null-terminated (that is, they are not always terminated with a 0).

Connection Statistics Data Block 5.4+

The connection statistics data block is used in connection data messages. Several new fields have been added to the Connection Statistics Data Block for 5.4. Fields have been added to support SSL connections, HTTP redirection, and network analysis policies. The connection statistics data block for version 5.4+ has a block type of 155 in the series 1 group of blocks. It deprecates block type 154, Connection Statistics Data Block 5.3.1.

You request connection event records by setting the extended event flag—bit 30 in the Request Flags field—in the request message with an event version of 12 and an event code of 71. See Request Flags. If you enable bit 23, an extended event header is included in the record.

For more information on the Connection Statistics Data message, see Connection Statistics Data Message.

Understanding Host Data Structures

This chapter describes the format of the Full Host Profile data block that conveys a set of data describing a single host. The eStreamer server generates and sends these blocks on request for host data. For information about the client request procedure, the message structure, and the delivery method, see Host Data and Multiple Host Data Message Format.

eStreamer uses the series 1 data block structure to package these Full Host profile blocks. For the general structure of series 1 blocks, see Series 1 Data Block Header. The Full Host Profile data block contains a number of encapsulated blocks which are individually described in the subsections where they are defined in Understanding Discovery & Connection Data Structures.

See the following sections for more information about current and legacy Full Host Profile data blocks:

- Full Host Profile Data Block 5.3+ describes the current Full Host Profile data block structure.

- Full Host Profile Data Block 5.0 - 5.0.2 describes the legacy Full Host Profile data block structure for versions 5.0 - 5.0.2.

Full Host Profile Data Block 5.3+

The Full Host Profile data block for version 5.3+ contains a full set of data describing one host. It has the format shown in the graphic below and explained in the following table. Note that, except for List data blocks, the graphic does not show the fields of the encapsulated data blocks. These encapsulated data blocks are described separately in Understanding Discovery & Connection Data Structures. The Full Host Profile data block a block type value of 149. It supersedes the prior version, which has a block type of 140.

Note An asterisk (*) next to a block name in the following diagram indicates that multiple instances of the data block may occur.

Configuring eStreamer

After you create a client application, you can connect it to the eStreamer server, start the eStreamer service, and begin exchanging data.

Note An eStreamer server is a Defense Center or managed device (version 4.9 or higher) where the eStreamer service is running.

Perform the following tasks to manage eStreamer and client interaction:

1. Enable eStreamer on the eStreamer server.

See Configuring eStreamer on the eStreamer Server for information about allowing access to the eStreamer server, adding clients, and generating authentication credentials to establish an authenticated connection.

2. If required, manually run the eStreamer service (eStreamer). You can stop, start, and view the status of the service, and use command line options to debug client-server communication.

See Managing the eStreamer Service for more information.

3. Optionally, to use the eStreamer reference client to troubleshoot a connection or data stream, set up the reference client on the computer where you plan to run your client.

See Configuring the eStreamer Reference Client.

Configuring eStreamer on the eStreamer Server

License: Any

Before the Defense Center or managed device you want to use as an eStreamer server can begin streaming events to a client application, you must configure the eStreamer server to send events to clients, provide information about the client, and generate a set of authentication credentials to use when establishing communication. You can perform all of these tasks from the Defense Center or managed device user interface.

See the following sections for more information:

- Configuring eStreamer Event Types

- Adding Authentication for eStreamer Clients

Configuring eStreamer Event Types

License: Any

You can control which types of events the eStreamer server is able to transmit to client applications that request them.

Available event types on a managed device or a Defense Center include:

- Intrusion events

- Intrusion event packet data

- Intrusion event extra data

Available event types on a Defense Center include:

- Discovery events (this also enables connection events)

- Correlation and white list events

- Impact flag alerts

- User activity events

- Malware events

- File events

Note that the primary and secondary in a stacked 3D9900 pair report intrusion events to the Defense Center as if they were separate managed devices. If you configure communication with an eStreamer client on the primary in a 3D9900 stack, you also need to configure the client on the secondary; the client configuration is not replicated. Similarly, when you delete the client, delete it in both places. If you configure an eStreamer client for a Defense Center managing 3D9900s in a stack configuration, note that the Defense Center reports all events received from both managed devices, even if the same event is reported by both.

If you configure an eStreamer client on a Defense Center in a high availability

configuration, the client configuration is not replicated from the primary Defense Center to the secondary Defense Center.

To configure the types of events captured by eStreamer:

Access: Admin

Step 1 Select System > Local > Registration.

Step 2 Click eStreamer.

The eStreamer page appears with the eStreamer Event Configuration menu.

Step 3 Select the check boxes next to the types of events you want eStreamer to capture and forward to requesting clients. Note that if a check box is currently unchecked, that data is not being captured. Unchecking a check box does not delete data that has already been captured.

You can select any or all of the following on a Defense Center or managed device:

- Intrusion Events to transmit intrusion events generated by managed devices.

- Intrusion Event Packet Data to transmit packets associated with intrusion events.

- Intrusion Event Extra Data to transmit additional data associated with intrusion events, such as the URI associated with the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or load balancer.

You can also select any or all of the following on a Defense Center:

- Discovery Events to transmit host discovery events

- Correlation Events to transmit correlation and white list events.

- Impact Flag Alerts to transmit impact alerts generated by the Defense Center.

- User Activity Events to transmit user events.

- Intrusion Event Extra Data to transmit additional data for intrusion events, such as the URI associated with the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or load balancer.

Note Note that this controls which events the eStreamer server can transmit. Your client application must still specifically request the types of events you want it to receive. For more information, see Request Flags.

Step 4 Click Save.

Your settings are saved and the events you selected will be forwarded to eStreamer clients when requested.

Adding Authentication for eStreamer Clients

License: Any

Before eStreamer can send events to a client, you must add the client to the eStreamer server’s peers database. You must also copy the authentication certificate generated by the eStreamer server to the client.

To add an eStreamer client:

Access: Admin

Step 1 Select Local > Registration > eStreamer.

Step 2 Click Create Client.

The Create Client page appears.

Step 3 In the Hostname field, enter the host name or IP address of the host running the eStreamer client.

Note If you use a host name, the host input server must be able to resolve the host to an IP address. If you have not configured DNS resolution, you should configure it first or use an IP address.

Step 4 If you want to encrypt the certificate file, enter a password in the Password field.

Step 5 Click Save.

The eStreamer server allows the client computer to access port 8302 on the Defense Center and creates an authentication certificate to use during client-server authentication. The eStreamer Client page re-appears, with the new client listed under eStreamer Clients.

) next to the certificate file.

Step 7 Save the certificate file to the directory used by your client computer for SSL authentication.

The client can now connect to the Defense Center.

Managing the eStreamer Service

License: Any

You can manage the eStreamer service from the user interface. However, you can also use the command line to start and stop the service. The following sections describe eStreamer command line options:

- Starting and Stopping the eStreamer Service describes how to start and stop the eStreamer service.

- eStreamer Service Options describes the command line options available for the eStreamer service and how to use them.

Starting and Stopping the eStreamer Service

License: Any

You can manage the eStreamer service using the manage_estreamer.pl script, which allows you to start, stop, reload, and restart the service.

Tip You can also add command line options to the eStreamer initialization script. See eStreamer Service Options for more information.

Table 6-1 eStreamer Management Options

eStreamer Service Options

License: Any

eStreamer provides many service options that allow you to troubleshoot the service. You can use the options described in the following table with the eStreamer service.

Table 6-2 eStreamer Service Options

Option

Description

--debug

Runs eStreamer with debug-level logging. Errors are saved in the syslog and (when used in conjunction with --nodaemon) appear on screen.

--nodaemon

Runs eStreamer as a foreground process. Errors appear on-screen.

--nohostcheck

Runs eStreamer with host name checking disabled. That is, if the client host name does not match the host name contained in the subjectAltName:dNSName entry in the client certificate, access is still allowed. The nohostcheck option is useful in cases where the network DNS and/or NAT configuration prevent the host name check from succeeding. Note that all other security checks are performed.

Caution Enabling this option can negatively affect the security of your system.

Use the above options by first stopping the eStreamer service, then running it with the options you want, and finally restarting the service. For example, you can follow the instructions provided in Running the eStreamer Service in Debug Mode to debug eStreamer functionality.

Running the eStreamer Service in Debug Mode

License: Any

You can run the eStreamer service in debug mode to view each status message the service generates on your terminal screen. Use the following procedure to do debugging.

To run the eStreamer service in debug mode:

Access: Admin

Step 1 Log into the Defense Center or managed device using SSH.

Step 2 Use manage_estreamer.pl and select option 2 to stop the eStreamer service.

Step 3 Use ./usr/local/sf/bin/sfestreamer --nodaemon --debug to restart the eStreamer service in debug mode.

Status messages for the service appear on the terminal screen.

Step 4 When you are finished debugging, restart the service in normal mode using manage_estreamer.pl and selecting option 4.

Configuring the eStreamer Reference Client

The reference client provided with the eStreamer SDK is a set of sample client scripts and Perl modules included to illustrate how the eStreamer API can be used. You can run them to familiarize yourself with eStreamer output, or you can use them to debug problems with installations of your custom-built client.

For more information on setting up the reference client, see the following sections:

- Setting Up the eStreamer Perl Reference Client

- Running the eStreamer Perl Reference Client

Setting Up the eStreamer Perl Reference Client

To use the eStreamer Perl reference client, you must first configure the sample scripts to fit your environment and requirements.

- OutputPlugins/pcap.pm

This Perl module stores packet captures as a pcap file.

- OutputPlugins/syslog.pm

This Perl module sends events to the local syslog server.

Configuring Communications for the eStreamer Reference Client

The reference client uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for data communication. You must install OpenSSL on the computer you plan to use as a client and configure it appropriately for your environment.

Note For initial installations on Linux operating systems, you must install the libssl-dev component as part of this download.

To set up SSL on your client:

Step 1 Download OpenSSL from http://openssl.org/source/.

Step 2 Unpack the source to /usr/local/src.

Step 3 Configure the source by running the Configure script.

Step 4 Make and install the compiled source.

Loading General Prerequisites for the Perl Reference Client

Before you can run the eStreamer Perl reference client, you must install the IO::Socket::SSL Perl module on the client computer. You can install the module manually or use cpan to do so.

Note If the Net::SSLeay module is not installed on the client computer, install that module as well. Net::SSLeay is required for communication with OpenSSL.

You also need to install and configure OpenSSL to support an SSL connection to the eStreamer server. For more information, see Configuring Communications for the eStreamer Reference Client.

Loading Prerequisites for the Perl SNMP Reference Client

Before you can run the eStreamer SNMP module of the Perl reference client, you must install the latest net-snmp Perl modules available for the client operating system on the client computer.

Downloading and Unpacking the Perl Reference Client

You can download the EventStreamerSDK.zip file that contains the eStreamer Perl reference client the Cisco support site.

Unpack the zip file to a computer running the Linux operating system, where you plan to run the client.

Creating a Certificate for the Perl Reference Client

License: Any

Before you can use the Perl reference client, you need to create a certificate on the Defense Center or managed device for the computer where you want to run the client. You then download the certificate file to the client computer and use it to create a certificate (server.crt) and RSA key file (server.key).

To create a certificate for the Perl Reference Client:

Access: Admin

Step 1 Select Operations > Configuration > eStreamer.

Step 2 Click Create Client.

The Create Client page appears.

Step 3 In the Hostname field, enter the host name or IP address of the host running the eStreamer client.

Note If you use a host name, the host input server must be able to resolve the host to an IP address. If you have not configured DNS resolution, you should configure it first or use an IP address.

Step 4 If you want to encrypt the certificate file, enter a password in the Password field.

Step 5 Click Save.

The eStreamer server allows the client computer to access port 8302 on the Defense Center and creates an authentication certificate to use during client-server authentication. The eStreamer Client page re-appears, with the new client listed under eStreamer Clients.

) next to the certificate file.

Step 7 Save the certificate file to the directory used by your client computer for SSL authentication.

The client can now connect to the Defense Center.

Running the eStreamer Perl Reference Client

The eStreamer Perl reference client scripts are designed for use on a 64-bit operating system with the Linux kernel but should work on any POSIX-based 64-bit operating system, as long as the client machine meets the prerequisites defined in Setting Up the eStreamer Perl Reference Client.

For more information, see the following sections:

- Testing a Client Connection over SSL Using a Host Request

- Capturing a PCAP Using the Reference Client

- Capturing CSV Records Using the Reference Client

- Sending Records to an SNMP Server Using the Reference Client

- Logging Events to the Syslog Using the Reference Client

- Connecting to an IPv6 Address

Testing a Client Connection over SSL Using a Host Request

You can use the ssl_test.pl script to test the connection between the eStreamer server and the eStreamer client. The ssl_test.pl script handles any record type and prints it to STDOUT or to an output plugin you specify. When you use the -h option without an output option, it streams host data for the specified hosts to your terminal.

Note You cannot use this script to stream packet data without directing it to an output plugin because printing raw packet data to STDOUT interferes with your terminal.

Use the following syntax to use the ssl_test.pl script to send host data to the standard output:

./ssl_test.pl eStreamerServerIPAddress -h HostIPAddresses

For example, to test receipt of host data for the hosts in the 10.0.0.0/8 subnet over a connection to an eStreamer server with an IP address of 10.10.0.4:

./ssl_test.pl 10.10.0.4 -h 10.0.0.0/8

Capturing a PCAP Using the Reference Client

You can use the reference client to capture streamed packet data in a PCAP file to see the structure of the data the client receives. Note that you must use -f to specify a target file when you use the -o pcap output option.

Use the following syntax to capture streamed packet data in a PCAP file using the ssl_test.pl script:

./ssl_test.pl eStreamerServerIPAddress -o pcap -f ResultingPCAPFile

For example, to create a PCAP file named test.pcap using events streamed from an eStreamer server with an IP address of 10.10.0.4:

./ssl_test.pl 10.10.0.4 -o pcap -f test.pcap

Capturing CSV Records Using the Reference Client

You can also use the reference client to capture streamed intrusion event data in a CSV file to see the structure of the data the client receives.

Use the following syntax to run the streamer_csv.pl script:

./ssl_test.pl eStreamerServerIPAddress -o csv -f ResultingCSVFile

For example, to create a CSV file named test.csv using events streamed from an eStreamer server with an IP address of 10.10.0.4:

./ssl_test.pl 10.10.0.4 -o csv -f test.csv

Sending Records to an SNMP Server Using the Reference Client

You can also use the reference client to stream intrusion event data to an SNMP server. Use the -f option to indicate the name of the SNMP trap server that should receive events. Note that this output method requires a binary named snmptrapd in the path and therefore only works on UNIX-like systems.

Use the following syntax to send intrusion events to an SNMP server:

./ssl_test.pl eStreamerServerIPAddress -o snmp

-f SNMPServerName

For example, to send events to an SNMP server at 10.10.0.3 using events streamed from an eStreamer server with an IP address of 10.10.0.4:

./ssl_test.pl 10.10.0.4 -o snmp -f 10.10.0.3

Logging Events to the Syslog Using the Reference Client

You can also use the reference client to stream intrusion events to the local syslog server on the client.

Use the following syntax to send events to the syslog:

./ssl_test.pl eStreamerServerIPAddress -o syslog

For example, to log events streamed from an eStreamer server with an IP address of 10.10.0.4:

./ssl_test.pl 10.10.0.4 -o syslog

Connecting to an IPv6 Address

You can use the reference client to connect to a Defense Center with an IPv6 address through the primary management interface. You must have the Socket6 and IO::Socket::INET6 Perl modules installed on the client machine and use the-ipv6 option or the shortened form -i.

Use the following syntax to specify an IPv6 address using the ssl_test.pl script:

./ssl_test.pl -ipv6 eStreamerServerIPAddress

or

./ssl_test.pl -i eStreamerServerIPAddress

For example, to connect to a Defense Center with the IPv6 address 2001:470:e09c:20:7c1e:5248:1bf7:2ea0 use the following:

./ssl_test.pl -ipv6 2001:470:e09c:20:7c1e:5248:1bf7:2ea0

8

This line is for the legacy (IPv4) IP address. It contains all zeros as it is not populated and the IPv4 address is stored in the IPv6 field.

9

This line contains the MAC address associated with the event. As there is no MAC address, it contains zeros.

10

The first half of this line is the remainder of the MAC address, which is zeros. The next byte indicates the presence of an IPv6 address. The last byte in this line is reserved for future use and contains zeros.

11

This line contains the UNIX timestamp (seconds since 01/01/1970)

that the system generated the event.

12

This line contains the microsecond (one millionth of a second) increment that the system generated the event.

13

This line contains the event type. This has a value of 1004, which indicates a user modification message.

14

This line contains the event subtype. This has a value of 2, which indicates a user login event.

15

This line initiates a User Login Information data block, indicated by block type 127.

19

This line indicates that the block that follows is 81 bytes long.

20

This line indicates that the user login timestamp is 1,391,456,627, which means it was generated at Mon, 03 Oct 2014 19:43:47 GMT.

21

This line is for the legacy (IPv4) IP address. It contains all zeros as it is not populated and the IPv4 address is stored in the IPv6 field.

22

This line indicates that a string block follows, containing a string block length and a text string which, in this case, contains the user name. For more information about string blocks, see String Data Block.

23

This line indicates that the length of the data in the string block is 16 bytes.

24

This line indicates that the name of the user is “301@10.4.11.175.”

25

The line indicates the ID number of the user.

26

This line indicates the application ID for the application protocol used in the connection that the login information was derived from.

27

This line indicates that a string block follows, containing a string block length and a text string which, in this case, contains the email address. For more information about string blocks, see String Data Block.

28

This line indicates that the length of the data in the string block is 0 bytes. This is because there is no email address associated with this user.

29

This line contains IP address from the host where the user was detected logging in.

30

The first bye contains the login type. The remainder of this line indicates that a string block follows, containing a string block length and a text string which, in this case, contains the name of the Active Directory server reporting a login. For more information about string blocks, see String Data Block.

31

The first byte of this line completes the initiation of the string data block.This remainder of this line indicates that the length of the data in the string block is 0 bytes. This is because there is no Active Directory server associated with this login.

Understanding Legacy Data Structures

This appendix contains information about data structures supported by eStreamer at previous versions of FireSIGHT System products.

If your client uses event stream requests with bits set to request data in older version formats, you can use the information in this appendix to identify the data structures of the data messages you receive.

Note that prior to version 5.0, separate detection engines were assigned IDs. For version 5.0, devices are assigned IDs. Based on the version, data structures reflect this.

Note This appendix describes only data structures from version 4.9 or later of the FireSIGHT System. If you require documentation for structures from earlier data structure versions, contact Cisco Customer Support.

See the following sections for more information:

- Legacy Intrusion Data Structures

- Legacy Malware Event Data Structures

- Legacy Discovery Data Structures

- Legacy Connection Data Structures

- Legacy File Event Data Structures

- Legacy Correlation Event Data Structures

- Legacy Host Data Structures

Legacy Intrusion Data Structures

- Intrusion Event (IPv4) Record 5.0.x - 5.1

- Intrusion Event (IPv6) Record 5.0.x - 5.1

- Intrusion Event Record 5.2.x

- Intrusion Event Record 5.3

- Intrusion Event Record 5.1.1.x

- Intrusion Event Record 5.3.1

- Intrusion Impact Alert Data

Intrusion Event (IPv4) Record 5.0.x - 5.1

The fields in the intrusion event (IPv4) record are shaded in the following graphic. The record type is 207.

You request intrusion event records by setting the intrusion event flag or the extended requests flag in the request message. See Request Flags and Submitting Extended Requests.

For version 5.0.x - 5.1 intrusion events, the event ID, the managed device ID, and the event second form a unique identifier.

Intrusion Impact Alert Data

The Intrusion Impact Alert event contains information about impact events. It is transmitted when an intrusion event is compared to the system network map data and the impact is determined. It uses the standard record header with a record type of 9, followed by an Intrusion Impact Alert data block with a data block type of 20 in the series 1 group of blocks. (The Impact Alert data block is a type of series 1 data block. For more information about series 1 data blocks, see Understanding Discovery (Series 1) Blocks.)

You can request that eStreamer only transmit intrusion impact events by setting bit 5 in the Flags field of the request message. See Event Stream Request Message Format for more information about request messages. Version 1 of these alerts only handles IPv4. Version 2, introduced in 5.3, handles IPv6 events in addition to IPv4.

Legacy Discovery Event Header

Discovery Event Header 5.0 - 5.1.1.x

Discovery and connection event messages contain a discovery event header. It conveys the type and subtype of the event, the time the event occurred, the device on which the event occurred, and the structure of the event data in the message. This header is followed by the actual host discovery, user, or connection event data. The structures associated with the different event type/subtype values are described in Host Discovery Structures by Event Type.

The event type and event subtype fields of the discovery event header identify the structure of the transmitted event message. Once the structure of the event data block is determined, your program can parse the message appropriately.

Legacy Correlation Event Data Structures

The following topics describe other legacy correlation (compliance) data structures:

- Correlation Event for 5.0 - 5.0.2

- Correlation Event for 5.1-5.3.x

Correlation Event for 5.0 - 5.0.2

Correlation events (called compliance events in pre-5.0 versions) contain information about correlation policy violations. This message uses the standard eStreamer message header and specifies a record type of 112, followed by a correlation data block of type 116. Data block type 116 differs from its predecessor (block type 107) in including additional information about the associated security zone and interface.

You can request 5.0 correlation events from eStreamer only by extended request, for which you request event type code 31 and version code 7 in the Stream Request message (see Submitting Extended Requests for information about submitting extended requests). You can optionally enable bit 23 in the flags field of the initial event stream request message, to include the extended event header. You can also enable bit 20 in the flags field to include user metadata.

Correlation Event for 5.1-5.3.x

Correlation events (called compliance events in pre-5.0 versions) contain information about correlation policy violations. This message uses the standard eStreamer message header and specifies a record type of 112, followed by a correlation data block of type 128 in the series 1 set of data blocks. Data block type 128 differs from its predecessor (block type 116) in including IPv6 support.

You can request 5.1-5.3.x correlation events from eStreamer only by extended request, for which you request event type code 31 and version code 8 in the Stream Request message (see Submitting Extended Requests for information about submitting extended requests). You can optionally enable bit 23 in the flags field of the initial event stream request message, to include the extended event header. You can also enable bit 20 in the flags field to include user metadata.
