1.Install SNORT2
Snort is an open source network intrusion detection system capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks.
It can perform "protocol analysis," "content search," and "matching," and can be used to detect a variety of attacks, including "buffer overflows," "stealth port scans," "CGI attacks," "SMB probes," "OS fingerprinting attempts," "semantic URL attacks," and "server message block probes.

If you get a "file not found" error, copy the file with the error to /etc/snort/rules
In our case, we got the following file error
|
1 2 3 4 |
# cp /usr/src/snort_src/snort-2.9.20/etc/classification.config /etc/snort/rules # cp /usr/src/snort_src/snort-2.9.20/etc/reference.config /etc/snort/rules # cp /usr/src/snort_src/snort-2.9.20/etc/threshold.conf /etc/snort/rules # cp /usr/src/snort_src/snort-2.9.20/etc/unicode.map /etc/snort/rules/ |
If an invalid error occurs, do the following
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
# vi /etc/snort/rules/snort.conf # Line 321～322 : Change as follows ＃decompress_swf {deflate lzma} \ decompress_swf {deflate} \ decompress_pdf {deflate} |
again
|
1 |
# snort -T -c /etc/snort/rules/snort.conf |
When executed, a message similar to the following example is displayed

1.7 Configuration Testing
To test if Snort is logging alerts as intended, add a custom detection rule alert for incoming ICMP connections to the local.rules file
|
1 2 3 |
# vi /etc/snort/rules/local.rules Add the following to the last line alert icmp any any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"ICMP test"; sid:10000001; rev:001;) |
test run
|
1 |
# snort -A console -i eno1 -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf |
Rewrite "eno1" to your own network interface.
If you leave the terminal in this state and ping this server from another PC on the same network (e.g. Windows), the terminal running Snort will display the following notification for each ICMP call

2.Install Tripwire
Implement a system to detect file tampering on Linux servers by crackers.
This time, Tripwire, a host-based IDS (IDS=Intrusion Detection System), will be installed as the file tampering detection system.
Tripwire creates a database of file status at the time of installation, and detects file additions/changes/deletions by comparing the database with the current status of the file.
2.1 Installation and Configuration
|
1 |
# apt install tripwire |
①Site Key Creation
Tripwire requires a site passphrase to secure the "tw.cfg" tripwire configuration file and the "tw.pol" tripwire policy file. The specified passphrase is used to encrypt both files. The site passphrase is also required for a single instance of tripwire.
②local key Creation
A local passphrase is required to protect the tripwire database and report files; a local key used by tripwire to avoid unauthorized modification of the tripwire baseline database.
③Installation proceeds and completes.
2.2 Configuration File Settings
①Tripwire configuration file (twcfg.txt)
The tripwire configuration file (twcfg.txt) is detailed below. The paths to the encrypted policy file (tw.pol), site key (site.key), and local key (hostnamelocal.key), etc. are as follows
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
ROOT =/usr/sbin #executable file POLFILE =/etc/tripwire/tw.pol DBFILE =/var/lib/tripwire/$(HOSTNAME).twd # database file REPORTFILE =/var/lib/tripwire/report/$(HOSTNAME)-$(DATE).twr SITEKEYFILE =/etc/tripwire/site.key LOCALKEYFILE =/etc/tripwire/$(HOSTNAME)-local.key EDITOR =/usr/bin/editor LATEPROMPTING =false LOOSEDIRECTORYCHECKING =false MAILNOVIOLATIONS =true EMAILREPORTLEVEL =3 REPORTLEVEL =3 SYSLOGREPORTING =true MAILMETHOD =SMTP SMTPHOST =localhost SMTPPORT =25 TEMPDIRECTORY =/tmp |
2.3 Initial setup including key creation, database creation, etc.
①Edit twcfg.txt
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
# cd /etc/tripwire # vi twcfg.txt # Line 9 : Changed to "true LOOSEDIRECTORYCHECKING =true # Line 12：Change as needed (maximum report level: 4) REPORTLEVEL =4 |
|
