Working with Intrusion Events

The following topics describe how to work with intrusion events.

About Intrusion Events

The Firepower System can help you monitor your network for traffic that could affect the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of a host and its data. By placing managed devices on key network segments, you can examine the packets that traverse your network for malicious activity. The system has several mechanisms it uses to look for the broad range of exploits that attackers have developed.

When the system identifies a possible intrusion, it generates an intrusion event (sometimes called by a legacy term, "IPS event"), which is a record of the date, time, the type of exploit, and contextual information about the source of the attack and its target. For packet-based events, a copy of the packet or packets that triggered the event is also recorded. Managed devices transmit their events to the Firepower Management Center where you can view the aggregated data and gain a greater understanding of the attacks against your network assets.

You can also deploy a managed device as an inline, switched, or routed intrusion system, which allows you to configure the device to drop or replace packets that you know to be harmful.

Tools for Reviewing and Evaluating Intrusion Events

You can use the following tools to review intrusion events and evaluate whether they are important in the context of your network environment and your security policies.

  • An event summary page that gives you an overview of the current activity on your managed devices

  • Text-based and graphical reports that you can generate for any time period you choose; you can also design your own reports and configure them to run at scheduled intervals

  • An incident-handling tool that you can use to gather event data related to an attack; you can also add notes to help you track your investigation and response

  • Automated alerting that you can configure for SNMP, email, and syslog

  • Automated correlation policies that you can use to respond to and remediate specific intrusion events

  • Predefined and custom workflows that you can use to drill down through the data to identify the events that you want to investigate further

  • External tools for managing and analyzing data. You can send data to those tools using syslog or eStreamer. For more information, see Event Analysis Using External Tools

Additionally, you can use publicly-available information such as the predefined resources on the Analysis > Advanced > Contextual Cross-Launch page to learn more about malicious entities.

To search for a particular message string and retrieve documentation for the rule that generated an event, see https://www.snort.org/rule_docs/.

Viewing Intrusion Events

You view an intrusion event to determine whether there is a threat to your network security.

The initial intrusion events view differs depending on the workflow you use to access the page. You can use one of the predefined workflows, which includes one or more drill-down pages, a table view of intrusion events, and a terminating packet view, or you can create your own workflow. You can also view workflows based on custom tables, which may include intrusion events.

An event view may be slow to display if it contains a large number of IP addresses and you have enabled the Resolve IP Addresses event view setting.

In a multidomain deployment, you can view data for the current domain and for any descendant domains. You cannot view data from higher level or sibling domains.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose .

Step 2

You have the following choices:

  • Adjust time range — Adjust the time range for the event view as described in Changing the Time Window.
  • Change workflows — If you are using a custom workflow that does not include the table view of intrusion events, choose any of the system-provided workflows by clicking (switch workflow) next to the workflow title.
  • Constrain — To narrow your view to the intrusion events that are important to your analysis, see Using Intrusion Event Workflows.
  • Delete event — To delete an event from the database, click Delete to delete the event whose packet you are viewing or click Delete All to delete all the events whose packets you previously selected.
  • Mark reviewed — To mark intrusion events reviewed, see Marking Intrusion Events Reviewed.
  • View connection data —To view connection data associated with intrusion events, see Viewing Connection Data Associated with Intrusion Events.
  • View contents — To view the contents of the columns in the table as described in Intrusion Event Fields.

About Intrusion Event Fields

When the system identifies a possible intrusion, it generates an intrusion event, which is a record of the date, time, the type of exploit, and contextual information about the source of the attack and its target. For packet-based events, a copy of the packet or packets that triggered the event is also recorded.

You can view intrusion event data in the Firepower Management Center web interface at Analysis > Intrusions > Events or emit data from certain fields as syslog messages for consumption by an external tool. Syslog fields are indicated in the list below; fields without a listed syslog equivalent are not available in syslog messages.

When searching intrusion events, keep in mind that the information available for any individual event can vary depending on how, why, and when system logged the event. For example, only intrusion events triggered on decrypted traffic contain TLS/SSL information.

Note

In the Firepower Management Center web interface, some fields in the table view of intrusion events are disabled by default. To enable a field for the duration of your session, expand the search constraints, then click the column name under Disabled Columns.

Intrusion Event Fields

The access control policy associated with the intrusion policy where the intrusion, preprocessor, or decoder rule that generated the event is enabled.

Access Control Rule (Syslog: AccessControlRuleName)

The access control rule that invoked the intrusion policy that generated the event. Default Action indicates that the intrusion policy where the rule is enabled is not associated with a specific access control rule but, instead, is configured as the default action of the access control policy.

This field is empty (or, for syslog messages, omitted) if there is:

  • No associated rule/default action: Intrusion inspection was associated with neither an access control rule nor the default action, for example, if the packet was examined by the intrusion policy specified to handle packets that must pass before the system can determine which rule to apply. (This policy is specified in the Advanced tab of the access control policy.)

  • No associated connection event: The connection event logged for the session has been purged from the database, for example, if connection events have higher turnover than intrusion events.

Application Protocol (Syslog: ApplicationProtocol)

The application protocol, if available, which represents communications between hosts detected in the traffic that triggered the intrusion event.

Application Protocol Category and Tag

Criteria that characterize the application to help you understand the application's function.

First Packet Time (Syslog Only)

The time the system encountered the first packet.

The following fields collectively uniquely identify the connection event associated with a particular intrusion event: DeviceUUID, First Packet Time, Connection Instance ID, and Connection Counter.

Generator

The component that generated the event.

See also information about the following intrusion event fields: GID, Message, and Snort ID.

GID (Syslog Only)

Generator ID; the ID of the component that generated the event.

See also information about the following intrusion event fields: Generator, Message, and Snort ID.

HTTP Hostname

The host name, if present, that was extracted from the HTTP request Host header. Note that request packets do not always include the host name.

To associate host names with intrusion events for HTTP client traffic, you must enable the HTTP Inspect preprocessor Log Hostname option.

In table views, this column displays the first fifty characters of the extracted host name. You can hover your pointer over the displayed portion of an abbreviated host name to display the complete name, up to 256 bytes. You can also display the complete host name, up to 256 bytes, in the packet view.

HTTP Response Code (Syslog: HTTPResponse)

The HTTP status code sent in response to a client's HTTP request over the connection that triggered the event. It indicates the reason behind sucessful and failed HTTP request.

For more details about HTTP response codes, see RFC 2616, Section 10.

HTTP URI

The raw URI, if present, associated with the HTTP request packet that triggered the intrusion event. Note that request packets do not always include a URI.

To associate URIs with intrusion events for HTTP traffic, you must enable the HTTP Inspect preprocessor Log URI option.

To see the associated HTTP URI in intrusion events triggered by HTTP responses, you should configure HTTP server ports in the Perform Stream Reassembly on Both Ports option; note, however, that this increases resource demands for traffic reassembly.

This column displays the first fifty characters of the extracted URI. You can hover your pointer over the displayed portion of an abbreviated URI to display the complete URI, up to 2048 bytes. You can also display the complete URI, up to 2048 bytes, in the packet view.

Impact

The impact level in this field indicates the correlation between intrusion data, network discovery data, and vulnerability information.

When searching this field, do not specify impact icon colors or partial strings. For example, do not use blue, level 1, or 0. Valid case-insensitive values are:

  • Impact 0, Impact Level 0

  • Impact 1, Impact Level 1

  • Impact 2, Impact Level 2

  • Impact 3, Impact Level 3

  • Impact 4, Impact Level 4

Because no operating system information is available for hosts added to the network map from NetFlow data, the system cannot assign Vulnerable (impact level 1: red) impact levels for intrusion events involving those hosts. In such cases, use the host input feature to manually set the operating system identity for the hosts.

Ingress Interface (Syslog: IngressInterface)

The ingress interface of the packet that triggered the event. Only this interface column is populated for a passive interface.

Ingress Security Zone (Syslog: IngressZone)

The ingress security zone or tunnel zone of the packet that triggered the event. Only this security zone field is populated in a passive deployment.

Ingress Virtual Router

In networks using virtual routing, the name of the virtual router through which traffic entered the network.

Inline Result (Syslog: InlineResult)

In workflow and table views, this field displays one of the following:

Table 1. Inline Result Field Contents in Workflow and Table Views

This Icon

Indicates

The system dropped the packet that triggered the rule.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

IPS would have dropped the packet if you enabled the Drop when Inline intrusion policy option (in an inline deployment), or if a Drop and Generate rule generated the event while the system was pruning.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

IPS may have transmitted or delivered the packet to the destination, but the connection that contained this packet is now blocked.

No icon (blank)

The triggered rule was not set to Drop and Generate Events

The following table lists the possible reasons for the inline results — Would have dropped and Partially dropped.

Inline Result

Reason

Detailed Reason

Would Have Dropped

Interface in Passive or Tap mode

You have configured the interfaces in inline tap or passive mode.

Intrusion Policy in "Detection" Inspection Mode

You have set the inspection mode in the intrusion policy to Detection.

Connection Timed Out

The Snort inspection engine has suspended the inspection as the TCP/IP connection timed out.

Partially Dropped

Connection Closed (0x01)

While creating a new flow, if the allocated flows are more than the allowed number of flows, the Snort inspection engine prunes the least recently used flows.

Connection Closed (0x02)

When reloading the Snort inspection engine causes a memory adjustment, the engine prunes the least recently used flows.

Connection Closed (0x04)

When the Snort inspection engine is gracefully shutting down, the engine purges all the active flows.

In a passive deployment, the system does not drop packets, including when an inline interface is in tap mode, regardless of the rule state or the inline drop behavior of the intrusion policy.

When searching this field, enter either of the following:

  • dropped to specify whether the packet is dropped in an inline deployment.

  • would have dropped to specify whether the packet would have dropped if the intrusion policy had been set to drop packets in an inline deployment.

  • partially dropped to specify whether the packet is transmitted or delivered to the destination, but the connection that contained this packet is now blocked.

Intrusion Policy (Syslog: IntrusionPolicy)

The intrusion policy where the intrusion, preprocessor, or decoder rule that generated the event was enabled. You can choose an intrusion policy as the default action for an access control policy, or you can associate an intrusion policy with an access control rule.

IOC (Syslog: NumIOC)

Whether the traffic that triggered the intrusion event also triggered an indication of compromise (IOC) for a host involved in the connection.

When searching this field, specify triggered or n/a.

Message (Syslog: Message)

The explanatory text for the event. For rule-based intrusion events, the event message is pulled from the rule. For decoder- and preprocessor-based events, the event message is hard coded.

The Generator and Snort IDs (GID and SID) and the SID version (Revision) are appended in parentheses to the end of each message in the format of numbers separated by colons (GID:SID:version). For example (1:36330:2).

The network analysis policy, if any, associated with the generation of the event.

This field displays the first fifty characters of the extracted URI. You can hover your pointer over the displayed portion of an abbreviated URI to display the complete URI, up to 2048 bytes. You can also display the complete URI, up to 2048 bytes, in the packet view.

Original Client IP

The original client IP address that was extracted from an X-Forwarded-For (XFF), True-Client-IP, or custom-defined HTTP header.

To display a value for this field, you must enable the HTTP preprocessor Extract Original Client IP Address option in the network analysis policy. Optionally, in the same area of the network analysis policy, you can also specify up to six custom client IP headers, as well as set the priority order in which the system selects the value for the Original Client IP event field.

Priority (Syslog: Priority)

The event priority as determined by the Cisco Talos Intelligence Group (Talos). The priority corresponds to either the value of the priority keyword or the value for the classtype keyword. For other intrusion events, the priority is determined by the decoder or preprocessor. Valid values are high, medium, and low.

Protocol (Syslog: Protocol)

In the Firepower Management Center web interface, this field is a search field only.

The name or number of the transport protocol used in the connection as listed in http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers. This is the protocol associated with the source and destination port/ICMP column.

Intrusion Event Impact Levels

To help you evaluate the impact an event has on your network, the Firepower Management Center displays an impact level in the table view of intrusion events. For each event, the system adds an impact level icon whose color indicates the correlation between intrusion data, network discovery data, and vulnerability information.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Note

Because no operating system information is available for hosts added to the network map from NetFlow data, the system cannot assign Vulnerable (impact level 1: red) impact levels for intrusion events involving those hosts. In such cases, use the host input feature to manually set the operating system identity for the hosts.

The following table describes the possible values for the impact levels.

Viewing Connection Data Associated with Intrusion Events

The system can log the connections where intrusion events are detected. Although this logging is automatic for intrusion policies associated with access control rules, you must manually enable connection logging to see associated connection data for the default action.

Viewing associated data is most useful when navigating between table views of events.

In a multidomain deployment, you can view data for the current domain and for any descendant domains. You cannot view data from higher level or sibling domains.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose .

Step 2

Choose the intrusion events using the check boxes in the table, then choose Connections from the Jump to drop-down list.

Tip 

You can view the intrusion events associated with particular connections in a similar way. For more information, see Inter-Workflow Navigation.

Marking Intrusion Events Reviewed

If you are confident that an intrusion event is not malicious, you can mark the event reviewed.

If you have examined an intrusion event and are confident that the event does not represent a threat to your network security (for example, because you know that none of the hosts on your network are vulnerable to the detected exploit), you can mark the event reviewed. Reviewed events are stored in the event database and are included in the event summary statistics, but no longer appear in the default intrusion event pages. Your name appears as the reviewer.

In a multidomain deployment, if you mark an event reviewed, the system marks it reviewed in all domains that can view that event.

If you perform a backup and then delete reviewed intrusion events, restoring your backup restores the deleted intrusion events but does not restore their reviewed status. You view those restored intrusion events under Intrusion Events, not under Reviewed Events.

Procedure

On a page that displays intrusion events, you have two options:

  • To mark one or more intrusion events from the list of events, check the check boxes next to the events and click Review.

  • To mark all intrusion events from the list of events, click Review All.

Viewing Previously Reviewed Intrusion Events

In a multidomain deployment, if you mark an event reviewed, the system marks it reviewed in all domains that can view that event.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose .

Step 2

You have the following choices:

  • Adjust the time range as described in Changing the Time Window.
  • If you are using a custom workflow that does not include the table view of intrusion events, choose any of the system-provided workflows by clicking (switch workflow) next to the workflow title.
  • To learn more about the events that appear, see Intrusion Event Fields.

Marking Reviewed Intrusion Events Unreviewed

You can return a reviewed event to the default intrusion events view by marking the event unreviewed.

In a multidomain deployment, if you mark an event reviewed, the system marks it reviewed in all domains that can view that event.

Procedure

On a page that displays reviewed events, you have two choices:

  • To remove individual intrusion events from the list of reviewed events, check the check boxes next to specific events and click Unreview.
  • To remove all intrusion events from the list of reviewed events, click Unreview All.

Preprocessor Events

Preprocessors provide two functions: performing the specified action on the packet (for example, decoding and normalizing HTTP traffic) and reporting the execution of specified preprocessor options by generating an event whenever a packet triggers that preprocessor option and the associated preprocessor rule is enabled. For example, you can enable the Double Encoding HTTP Inspect option and the associated preprocessor rule with the HTTP Inspect Generator (GID) 119 and the Snort ID (SID) 2 to generate an event when the preprocessor encounters IIS double-encoded traffic.

Generating events to report the execution of preprocessors helps you detect anomalous protocol exploits. For example, attackers can craft overlapping IP fragments to cause a DoS attack on a host. The IP defragmentation preprocessor can detect this type of attack and generate an intrusion event for it.

Preprocessor events differ from rule events in that the packet display does not include a detailed rule description for the event. Instead, the packet display shows the event message, the GID, SID, the packet header data, and the packet payload. This allows you to analyze the packet’s header information, determine if its header options are being used and if they can exploit your system, and inspect the packet payload. After the preprocessors analyze each packet, the rules engine executes appropriate rules against it (if the preprocessor was able to defragment it and establish it as part of a valid session) to further analyze potential content-level threats and report on them.

Preprocessor Generator IDs

Each preprocessor has its own Generator ID number, or GID, that indicates which preprocessor was triggered by the packet. Some of the preprocessors also have related SIDs, which are ID numbers that classify potential attacks. This helps you analyze events more effectively by categorizing the type of event much the way a rule’s Snort ID (SID) can offer context for packets triggering rules. You can list preprocessor rules by preprocessor in the Preprocessors filter group on the intrusion policy Rules page; you can also list preprocessor rules in the preprocessor and packet decoder sub-groupings in the Category filter group.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Note

Events generated by standard text rules have a generator ID of 1 (Global domain or legacy GID) or 1000 - 2000 (descendant domains). For shared object rules, the events have a generator ID of 3. For both, the event’s SID indicates which specific rule triggered.

The following table describes the types of events that generate each GID.

Intrusion Event Workflow Pages

The preprocessor, decoder, and intrusion rules that are enabled in the current intrusion policy generate intrusion events whenever the traffic that you monitor violates the policy.

The Firepower System provides a set of predefined workflows, populated with event data, that you can use to view and analyze intrusion events. Each of these workflows steps you through a series of pages to help you pinpoint the intrusion events that you want to evaluate.

The predefined intrusion event workflows contain three different types of pages, or event views:

  • one or more drill-down pages

  • the table view of intrusion events

  • a packet view

Drill-down pages generally include two or more columns in a table (and, for some drill-down views, more than one table) that allow you to view one specific type of information.

When you “drill down” to find more information for one or more destination ports, you automatically select those events and the next page in the workflow appears. In this way, drill-down tables help you reduce the number of events you are analyzing at one time.

The initial table view of intrusion events lists each intrusion event in its own row. The columns in the table list information such as the time, the source IP address and port, the destination IP address and port, the event priority, the event message, and more.

When you select events on a table view, instead of selecting events and displaying the next page in the workflow, you add to what are called constraints. Constraints are limits that you impose on the types of events that you want to analyze.

For example, if you click Close (

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?
) in any column and clear Time from the drop-down list, you can remove Time as one of the columns. To narrow the list of events in your analysis, you can click the link for a value in one of the rows in the table view. For example, to limit your analysis to the events generated from one of the source IP addresses (presumably, a potential attacker), click the IP address in the Source IP Address column.

If you select one or more rows in a table view and then click View, the packet view appears. A packet view provides information about the packet that triggered the rule or the preprocessor that generated the event. Each section of the packet view contains information about a specific layer in the packet. You can expand collapsed sections to see more information.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Note

Because each portscan event is triggered by multiple packets, portscan events use a special version of the packet view.

If the predefined workflows do not meet your specific needs, you can create custom workflows that display only the information you are interested in. Custom intrusion event workflows can include drill-down pages, a table view of events, or both; the system automatically includes a packet view as the last page. You can easily switch between the predefined workflows and your own custom workflows depending on how you want to investigate events.

Using Intrusion Event Workflows

The drill-down views and table view of events share some common features that you can use to narrow a list of events and then concentrate your analysis on a group of related events.

To avoid displaying the same intrusion events on different workflow pages, the time range pauses when you click a link at the bottom of the page to display another page of events, and resumes when you click to take any other action on the subsequent page.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Tip

At any point in the process, you can save the constraints as a set of search criteria. For example, if you find that over the course of a few days your network is being probed by an attacker from a single IP address, you can save your constraints during your investigation and then use them again later. You cannot, however, save compound constraints as a set of search criteria.

Procedure

Step 1

Access an intrusion event workflow using .

Step 2

Optionally, constrain the number of intrusion events that appear on the event views as described in Intrusion Event Drill-Down Page Constraints or Intrusion Event Table View Constraints.

Step 3

You have the following choices:

  • To learn more about the columns that appear, see Intrusion Event Fields.

  • To view a host’s profile, click Host Profile that appears next to the host IP address.

  • To view geolocation details, click flag that appears in the Source Country or Destination Country columns.

  • To view data in available sources external to your Firepower system, right-click an event value. The options you see depend on the data type and include public sources; other sources depend on the resources you have configured. For information, see Event Investigation Using Web-Based Resources

  • To gather general intelligence about an event, right-click an event value in the table and choose from a Cisco or third-party intelligence source. For example, you can get details about a suspicious IP address from Cisco Talos. The options you see depend on the data type and the integrations that are configured on your system. For more information, see Event Investigation Using Web-Based Resources.

  • To modify the time and date range for displayed events, see Changing the Time Window.

    Tip 

    If no intrusion events appear on the event views, adjusting the specified time range might return results. If you specified an older time range, events in that time range might have been deleted. Adjusting the rule thresholding configuration might generate events.

    Note 

    Events generated outside the appliance's configured time window (whether global or event-specific) may appear in an event view if you constrain the event view by time. This may occur even if you configured a sliding time window for the appliance.

  • To sort events on the current workflow page or navigate within the current workflow page, see Using Workflows.

  • To navigate between pages in the current workflow, keeping the current constraints, click the appropriate page link at the top left of the workflow page.

  • To add events to the clipboard so you can transfer them to an incident at a later time, click Copy or Copy All.

  • To delete events from the event database, check the check boxes next to events you want to delete, then click Delete, or click Delete All.

  • To mark events reviewed to remove them from intrusion event pages, but not the event database, see Marking Intrusion Events Reviewed.

  • To download a local copy of the packet (a packet capture file in libpcap format) that triggered each selected event, check the check boxes next to events triggered by the packets you want to download, then click Download Packets, or click Download All Packets. Captured packets are saved in libpcap format. This format is used by several popular protocol analyzers.

  • To navigate to other event views to view associated events, see Inter-Workflow Navigation.

  • To temporarily use a different workflow, click (switch workflow).

  • To bookmark the current page so that you can quickly return to it, click Bookmark This Page.

  • To view the Intrusion Events section of the Summary Dashboard, click Dashboards.

  • To navigate to the bookmark management page, click View Bookmarks.

  • To generate a report based on the data in the current view, see Creating a Report Template from an Event View.

Intrusion Event Drill-Down Page Constraints

The following table describes how to use the drill-down pages.

Table 5. Constraining Events on Drill-Down Pages

To...

You can...

drill down to the next workflow page constraining on a specific value

click the value.

For example, on the Destination Port workflow, to constrain the events to those with a destination of port 80, click 80/tcp in the DST Port/ICMP Code column. The next page of the workflow, Events, appears and contains only port 80/tcp events.

drill down to the next workflow page constraining on selected events

select the check boxes next to the events you want to view on the next workflow page, then click View.

For example, on the Destination Port workflow, to constrain the events to those with destination ports 20/tcp and 21/tcp, select the check boxes next to the rows for those ports and click View. The next page of the workflow, Events, appears and contains only port 20/tcp and 21/tcp events.

Note that if you constrain on multiple rows and the table has more than one column (not including a Count column), you build what is called a compound constraint. Compound constraints ensure that you do not include more events in your constraint than you mean to. For example, if you use the Event and Destination workflow, each row that you select on the first drill-down page creates a compound constraint. If you pick event 1:100 with a destination IP address of 10.10.10.100 and you also pick event 1:200 with a destination IP address of 192.168.10.100, the compound constraint ensures that you do not also select events with 1:100 as the event type and 192.168.10.100 as the destination IP address or events with 1:200 as the event type and 10.10.10.100 as the destination IP address.

drill down to the next workflow page keeping the current constraints

click View All.

Intrusion Event Table View Constraints

The following table describes how to use the table view.

Table 6. Constraining Events on the Table View of Events

To...

You can...

constrain the view to events with a single attribute

click the attribute.

For example, to constrain the view to events with a destination of port 80, click 80/tcp in the DST Port/ICMP Code column.

remove a column from the table

click Close (

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?
) in the column heading that you want to hide. In the pop-up window that appears, click Apply.

If you want to hide or show other columns, select or clear the appropriate check boxes before you click Apply. To add a disabled column back to the view, click the expand arrow to expand the search constraints, then click the column name under Disabled Columns.

view the packets associated with one or more events

either:

  • click the down arrow next to the event whose packets you want to view.

  • select one or more events whose packets you want to view, and, at the bottom of the page, click View.

  • at the bottom of the page, click View All to view the packets for all events that match the current constraints.

Using the Intrusion Event Packet View

A packet view provides information about the packet that triggered the rule that generated an intrusion event.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Tip

The packet view on a Firepower Management Center does not contain packet information when the Transfer Packet option is disabled for the device detecting the event.

The packet view indicates why a specific packet was captured by providing information about the intrusion event that the packet triggered, including the event’s time stamp, message, classification, priority, and, if the event was generated by a standard text rule, the rule that generated the event. The packet view also provides general information about the packet, such as its size.

In addition, the packet view has a section that describes each layer in the packet: data link, network, and transport, as well as a section that describes the bytes that comprise the packet. If the system decrypted the packet, you can view the decrypted bytes. You can expand collapsed sections to display detailed information.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Note

Because each portscan event is triggered by multiple packets, portscan events use a special version of the packet view.

In a multidomain deployment, you can view data for the current domain and for any descendant domains. You cannot view data from higher level or sibling domains.

Procedure

Step 1

On the table view of intrusion events, choose packets to view as described in Intrusion Event Table View Constraints.

Step 2

Optionally, if you chose more than one event, you can page through the packets in the packet view by using the page numbers at the bottom of the page.

Step 3

You also have the following options:

  • Adjust — To modify the date and time range in the packet views, see Changing the Time Window.
  • Clipboard — To add an event to the clipboard so you can transfer it to the incidents at a later time, click Copy to copy the event whose packet you are viewing or click Copy All to copy all the events whose packets you previously selected.
  • Configure — To configure the intrusion rule that triggered the event, click the arrow next to Actions and continue as described in Configuring Intrusion Rules within the Packet View.
  • Delete — To delete an event from the database, click Delete to delete the event whose packet you are viewing or click Delete All to delete all the events whose packets you previously selected.
  • Download — To download a local copy of the packet (a packet capture file in libpcap format) that triggered the event, click Download Packet to save a copy of the captured packet for the event you are viewing or click Download All Packets to save copies of the captured packets for all the events whose packets you previously selected. The captured packet is saved in libpcap format. This format is used by several popular protocol analyzers.
    Note 

    You cannot download a portscan packet because single portscan events are based on multiple packets; however, the portscan view provides all usable packet information. You must have at least 15% available disk space in order to download.

  • Mark reviewed — To mark an event reviewed to remove it from event views, but not the event database, click Review to mark the event whose packet you are viewing or click Review All to mark all the events whose packets you previously selected. For more information, see Marking Intrusion Events Reviewed.
  • View additional information — To expand or collapse a page section, click the arrow next to the section. For details, see Event Information Fields, Frame Information Fields, and Data Link Layer Information Fields.
  • View network layer information — See Viewing Network Layer Information.
  • View packet byte information — See Viewing Packet Byte Information.
  • View transport layer information — See Viewing Transport Layer Information

Event Information Fields

On the packet view, you can view information about the packet in the Event Information section.

Event

The event message. For rule-based events, this corresponds to the rule message. For other events, this is determined by the decoder or preprocessor.

The ID for the event is appended to the message in the format (GID:SID:Rev). GID is the generator ID of the rules engine, the decoder, or the preprocessor that generated the event. SID is the identifier for the rule, decoder message, or preprocessor message. Rev is the revision number of the rule.

Timestamp

The time that the packet was captured, in UTC time zone.

Classification

The event classification. For rule-based events, this corresponds to the rule classification. For other events, this is determined by the decoder or preprocessor.

Priority

The event priority. For rule-based events, this corresponds to either the value of the priority keyword or the value for the classtype keyword. For other events, this is determined by the decoder or preprocessor.

Ingress Security Zone

The ingress security zone of the packet that triggered the event. Only this security zone field is populated in a passive deployment.

Egress Security Zone

The egress security zone of the packet that triggered the event. This field is not populated in a passive deployments

Domain

The domain where the managed device belongs. This field is only present if you have ever configured the Firepower Management Center for multitenancy.

Device

The managed device where the access control policy was deployed.

Security Context

The metadata identifying the virtual firewall group through which the traffic passed. Note that the system only populates this field for ASA FirePOWER in multiple context mode.

Ingress Interface

The ingress interface of the packet that triggered the event. Only this interface column is populated for a passive interface.

Egress Interface

For an inline set, the egress interface of the packet that triggered the event.

Source/Destination IP

The host IP address or domain name where the packet that triggered the event (source) originated, or the target (destination) host of the traffic that triggered the event.

Source Port/ICMP Type

Source port of the packet that triggered the event. For ICMP traffic, where there is no port number, the system displays the ICMP type.

Destination Port/ICMP Code

The port number for the host receiving the traffic. For ICMP traffic, where there is no port number, the system displays the ICMP code.

Email Headers

The data that was extracted from the email header. Note that email headers do not appear in the table view of intrusion events, but you can use email header data as a search criterion.

To associate email headers with intrusion events for SMTP traffic, you must enable the SMTP preprocessor Log Headers option. For rule-based events, this row appears when email data is extracted.

HTTP Hostname

The host name, if present, extracted from the HTTP request Host header. This row displays the complete host name, up to 256 bytes. You can expand the complete host name if it is longer than a single row.

To display host names, you must enable the HTTP Inspect preprocessor Log Hostname option.

Note that HTTP request packets do not always include a host name. For rule-based events, this row appears when the packet contains the HTTP host name or the HTTP URI.

HTTP URI

The raw URI, if present, associated with the HTTP request packet that triggered the intrusion event. This row displays the complete URI, up to 2048 bytes. You can expand the complete URI if it is longer than a single row.

To display the URI, you must enable the HTTP Inspect preprocessor Log URI option.

Note that HTTP request packets do not always include a URI. For rule-based events, this row appears when the packet contains the HTTP host name or the HTTP URI.

To see the associated HTTP URI in intrusion events triggered by HTTP responses, you should configure HTTP server ports in the Perform Stream Reassembly on Both Ports option; note, however, that this increases resource demands for traffic reassembly.

Intrusion Policy

The intrusion policy, if present, where the intrusion, preprocessor, or decoder rule that generated the intrusion event was enabled. You can choose an intrusion policy as the default action for an access control policy or associate an intrusion policy with an access control rule.

Access Control Policy

The access control policy that includes the intrusion policy where the intrusion, preprocessor, or decoder rule that generated the event is enabled.

Access Control Rule

The access control rule associated with an intrusion rule that generated the event. Default Action indicates that the intrusion policy where the rule is enabled is not associated with an access control rule but, instead, is configured as the default action of the access control policy.

Rule

For standard text rule events, the rule that generated the event.

Note that if the event is based on a shared object rule, a decoder, or a preprocessor, the rule is not available.

Because rule data may contain sensitive information about your network, administrators may toggle users’ ability to view rule information in the packet view with the View Local Rules permission in the user role editor.

Actions

For standard text and custom rule events, expand Actions to take any of the following actions on the rule that triggered the event:

  • edit the rule

  • view documentation for the revision of the rule; for standard text rules only, after clicking View Documentation under Actions, you can click Rule Documentation in the documentation pop-up window to view more-specific rule details.

  • add a comment to the rule

  • change the state of the rule

  • set a threshold for the rule

  • suppress the rule

Note that if the event is based on a shared object rule, a decoder, or a preprocessor, the rule is not available.

Configuring Intrusion Rules within the Packet View

Within the packet view of an intrusion event, you can take several actions on the rule that triggered the event. Note that if the event is based on a shared object rule, a decoder, or a preprocessor, the rule is not available.

Procedure
Step 1

Within the packet view of an intrusion event that was generated by an intrusion rule, expand Actions in the Event Information section.

Step 2

You have the following choices:

  • Comment — For standard text rule events, click Rule Comment to add a text comment to the rule that generated the event. This allows you to provide additional context and information about the rule and the exploit or policy violation it identifies. You can also add and view rule comments in the intrusion rules editor.
  • Disable — To disable this rule, click one of the following options:

    • Disable this rule in the current Snort 2 policy ()

    • Disable this rule in all locally created Snort 2 policies

    If this event is generated by a standard text rule, you can disable the rule, if necessary. You can set the rule in all policies that you can edit locally. Alternately, you can set the rule only in the current policy (that is, the policy that generated the event) if you can edit the current policy locally.

    Note that the current policy option appears only when you can edit the current policy; for example, you can edit a custom policy, but you cannot edit a default policy provided by the system.

    Note 

    You cannot disable shared object rules from the packet view, nor can you disable rules in the default policies.

  • Drop packets and generate an event — To set the rule to drop packets that trigger it and generate an event, click one of the following options:

    • Set this rule to drop the triggering packet and generate an event in the current Snort 2 policy ()

    • Set this rule to drop the triggering packet and generate an event in all locally created Snort 2 inline policies

    If your managed device is deployed inline on your network, you can set the rule that triggered the event to drop packets that trigger the rule in all policies that you can edit locally. Alternately, you can set the rule only in the current policy (that is, the policy that generated the event) if you can edit the current policy locally.

    Note that the current policy option appears only when you can edit the current policy; for example, you can edit a custom policy, but you cannot edit a default policy provided by the system. Note also that this option appears only when Drop when Inline is enabled in the current policy.

  • Edit — For standard text rule events, click Edit (to edit the Snort 2 rule) or Edit Snort 3 Rule to modify the rule that generated the event. If the event is based on a shared object rule, a decoder, or a preprocessor, the rule is not available.
    Note 

    If you edit a system-provided rule (as opposed to a custom standard text rule), you actually create a new local rule. Make sure you set the local rule to generate events and also disable the original rule in the current intrusion policy. Note, however, that you cannot enable local rules in the default policies.

  • Generate events — Click Set this rule to generate events in all locally created Snort 2 policies to set the rule to generate events.

    If this event is generated by a standard text rule, you can set the rule to generate events in all policies that you can edit locally.

    Note that the current policy option appears only when you can edit the current policy; for example, you can edit a custom policy, but you cannot edit a default policy provided by the system.

    Note 

    You cannot set shared object rules to generate events from the packet view, nor can you disable rules in the default policies.

  • Set suppression options — Expand Set Suppression Options and continue as described in Setting Suppression Options within the Packet View.

    You can use this option to suppress the rule that triggered this event in all policies that you can edit locally. Alternately, you can suppress the rule only in the current policy (that is, the policy that generated the event) if you can edit the current policy locally.

    Note that the current policy option appears only when you can edit the current policy; for example, you can edit a custom policy, but you cannot edit a default policy provided by Cisco.

  • Set threshold options — Expand Set Thresholding Options and continue as described in Setting Threshold Options within the Packet View.

    You can use this option to create a threshold for the rule that triggered this even in all policies that you can edit locally. Alternately, you create a threshold only for the current policy (that is, the policy that generated the event) if you can edit the current policy locally.

    Note that the current policy option appears only when you can edit the current policy; for example, you can edit a custom policy, but you cannot edit a default intrusion policy provided by the system.

  • View documentation — Click View Documentation to learn more about the rule that generated the event. Optionally, then click Rule Documentation to view more-specific rule details.
Setting Threshold Options within the Packet View

You can control the number of events that are generated per rule over time by setting the threshold options in the packet view of an intrusion event. You can set threshold options in all policies that you can edit locally or, when it can be edited locally, only in the in the current policy (that is, the policy that caused the event to be generated).

Procedure
Step 1

Within the packet view of an intrusion event that was generated by an intrusion rule, expand Actions in the Event Information section.

Step 2

Expand Set Thresholding Options and choose one of the two possible options:

  • in the current Snort 2 policy ()

  • in all locally created Snort 2 policies

Step 3

Choose the type of threshold you want to set:

  • Click limit to limit notification to the specified number of event instances per time period.

  • Click threshold to provide notification for each specified number of event instances per time period.

  • Click both to provide notification once per time period after a specified number of event instances.

Step 4

Click the appropriate threshold to indicate whether you want the event instances tracked by Source or Destination IP address.

Step 5

In the Count field, enter the number of event instances you want to use as your threshold.

Step 6

In the Seconds field, enter a number between 1 and 86400 that specifies the time period for which event instances are tracked.

Step 7

If you want to override any current thresholds for this rule in existing intrusion policies, check the Override any existing settings for this rule check box.

Step 8

Click Save Thresholding.

Setting Suppression Options within the Packet View

You can use the suppression options to suppress intrusion events altogether, or based on the source or destination IP address. You can set suppression options in all policies that you can edit locally. Alternately, you can set suppression options only in the current policy (that is, the policy that generated the event) when the current policy can be edited locally.

Procedure
Step 1

Within the packet view of an intrusion event that was generated by an intrusion rule, expand Actions in the Event Information section.

Step 2

Expand Set Suppression Options and click one of the two possible options:

  • in the current Snort 2 policy ()

  • in all locally created Snort 2 policies

Note 

The current policy option appears only when you can edit the current policy; for example, you can edit a custom policy, but you cannot edit a default policy provided by Cisco.

Step 3

Choose one of the following Track By options:

  • Click Source to suppress events generated by packets originating from a specified source IP address.
  • Click Destination to suppress events generated by packets going to a specified destination IP address.
  • Click Rule to completely suppress events for the rule that triggered this event.
Step 4

In the IP address or CIDR block field, enter the IP address or CIDR block/prefix length you want to specify as the source or destination IP address.

Step 5

Click Save Suppression.

Frame Information Fields

On the packet view, click the arrow next to Frame to view information about the captured frame. The packet view may display a single frame or multiple frames. Each frame provides information about an individual network packet. You would see multiple frames, for example, in the case of tagged packets or packets in reassembled TCP streams.

Frame n

The captured frame, where n is 1 for single-frame packets and the incremental frame number for multi-frame packets. The number of captured bytes in the frame is appended to the frame number.

Arrival Time

The date and time the frame was captured.

Time delta from previous captured frame

For multi-frame packets, the elapsed time since the previous frame was captured.

Time delta from previous displayed frame

For multi-frame packets, the elapsed time since the previous frame was displayed.

Time since reference or first frame

For multi-frame packets, the elapsed time since the first frame was captured.

Frame Number

The incremental frame number.

Frame Length

The length of the frame in bytes.

Capture Length

The length of the captured frame in bytes.

Frame is marked

Whether the frame is marked (true or false).

Protocols in frame

The protocols included in the frame.

Data Link Layer Information Fields

On the packet view, click the arrow next to the data link layer protocol (for example, Ethernet II) to view the data link layer information about the packet, which contains the 48-bit media access control (MAC) addresses for the source and destination hosts. It may also display other information about the packet, depending on the hardware protocol.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Note

Note that this example discusses Ethernet link layer information; other protocols may also appear.

The packet view reflects the protocol used at the data link layer. The following listing describes the information you might see for an Ethernet II or IEEE 802.3 Ethernet packet in the packet view.

Viewing Network Layer Information

Procedure

On the packet view, click the arrow next to the network layer protocol (for example, Internet Protocol) to view more detailed information about network layer information related to the packet.

Note 

Note that this example discusses IP packets; other protocols may also appear.

IPv4 Network Layer Information Fields

The following listing describes protocol-specific information that might appear in an IPv4 packet.

Version

The Internet Protocol version number.

Header Length

The number of bytes in the header, including any IP options. An IP header with no options is 20 bytes long.

Differentiated Services Field

The values for differentiated services that indicate how the sending host supports Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN):

  • 0x0 — does not support ECN-Capable Transport (ECT)

  • 0x1 and 0x2 — supports ECT

  • 0x3 — Congestion Experienced (CE)

Total Length

The length of the IP packet, in bytes, minus the IP header.

Identification

The value that uniquely identifies an IP datagram sent by the source host. This value is used to trace fragments of the same datagram.

Flags

The values that control IP fragmentation, where:

values for the Last Fragment flag indicate whether there are more fragments associated with the datagram:

  • 0 — there are no more fragments associated with the datagram

  • 1 — there are more fragments associated with the datagram

values for the Don’t Fragment flag control whether the datagram can be fragmented:

  • 0 — the datagram can be fragmented

  • 1 — the datagram must not be fragmented

Fragment Offset

The value for the fragment offset from the beginning of the datagram.

Time to Live (ttl)

The remaining number of hops that the datagram can make between routers before the datagram expires.

Protocol

The transport protocol that is encapsulated in the IP datagram; for example, ICMP, IGMP, TCP, or UDP.

Header Checksum

The indicator for whether the IP checksum is valid. If the checksum is invalid, the datagram may have been corrupted during transit or may be being used in an intrusion evasion attempt.

Source/Destination

The IP address or domain name for the source (or destination) host.

Note that to display the domain name, you must enable IP address resolution.

Click the address or domain name to view the context menu, then select Whois to do a whois search on the host, View Host Profile to view host information, or choose an option to add the address to a global Block list or Do-Not-Block list.

IPv6 Network Layer Information Fields

The following listing describes protocol-specific information that might appear in an IPv6 packet.

Traffic Class

An experimental 8-bit field in the IPv6 header for identifying IPv6 packet classes or priorities similar to the differentiated services functionality provided for IPv4. When unused, this field is set to zero.

Flow Label

Payload Length

A 16-bit field identifying the number of octets in the IPv6 payload, which is comprised of all of the packet following the IPv6 header, including any extension headers.

Next Header

An 8-bit field identifying the type of header immediately following the IPv6 header, using the same values as the IPv4 Protocol field.

Hop Limit

An 8-bit decimal integer that each node that forwards the packet decrements by one. The packet is discarded if the decremented value reaches zero.

Source

The 128-bit IPv6 address for the source host.

Destination

The 128-bit IPv6 address for the destination host.

Internally Sourced Intrusion Events

Intrusion events coming from internal sources indicate a compromised host on your network. If the source IP address is on your network, this is a sign that you shoud investigate this host.

The Intrusion Events Clipboard

The clipboard is a holding area where you can copy intrusion events from any of the intrusion event views.

The contents of the clipboard are sorted by the date and time that the events were generated. After you add intrusion events to the clipboard, you can delete them from the clipboard as well as generate reports on the contents of the clipboard.

You can also add intrusion events from the clipboard to incidents, which are compilations of events that you suspect are involved in a possible violation of your security policies.

Generating Clipboard Reports

You can generate a report for the events on the clipboard just as you would from any of the event views.

Before you begin

  • Add one or more events to the clipboard as described in Using Intrusion Event Workflows or Using the Intrusion Event Packet View.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose .

Step 2

You have the following options:

  • To include specific events from a page on the clipboard, navigate to that page, check the check box next to the events, and click Generate Report.
  • To include all the events from the clipboard, click Generate Report All.
Step 3

Specify how you want your report to look, then click Generate.

Step 4

Choose one or more output formats and, optionally, modify any of the other settings.

Step 5

Click Generate, then click Yes.

Step 6

You have the following choices:

  • Click a report link to display the report in a new window.
  • Click OK to return to the Report Templates page where you can modify your report design.

Deleting Events from the Clipboard

If you have intrusion events on the clipboard that you do not want to add to an incident, you can delete the events.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Note

Deleting an event from the clipboard does not delete the event from the event database. However, deleting an event from the event database does delete the event from the clipboard.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose .

Step 2

You have the following options:

  • Delete specific events — To delete specific intrusion events from a page on the clipboard, navigate to the page, check the check box next to the events, and click Delete.
  • Delete all events — To delete all the intrusion events from the clipboard, click Delete All. Note that if you choose the Confirm 'All' Actions option in the Event Preferences, you are first prompted to confirm that you want to delete all the events.

Viewing Intrusion Event Statistics

The Intrusion Event Statistics page provides you with a quick summary of the current state of your appliance and any intrusion events generated for your network.

Each of the IP addresses, ports, protocols, event messages, and so on shown on the page is a link. Click any link to view the associated event information. For example, if one of the top 10 destination ports is 80 (http)/tcp, clicking that link displays the first page in the default intrusion events workflow, and lists the events targeting that port. Note that only the events (and the managed devices that generate events) in the current time range appear. Also, intrusion events that you have marked reviewed continue to appear in the statistics. For example, if the current time range is the past hour but the first event was generated five hours ago, when you click the First Event link, the resulting event pages will not show the event until you change the time range.

In a multidomain deployment, you can view data for the current domain and for any descendant domains. You cannot view data from higher level or sibling domains.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose .

Step 2

From the two selection boxes at the top of the page, choose the zones and devices whose statistics you want to view, or choose All Security Zones and All Devices to view statistics for all the devices that are collecting intrusion events.

Step 3

Click Get Statistics.

Tip 

To view data from a custom time range, click the link in the upper right page area and follow the directions in Changing the Time Window.

Host Statistics

The Host Statistics section of the Intrusion Event Statistics page provides information about the appliance itself. On the Firepower Management Center, this section also provides information about any managed devices.

This information includes the following:

Time

The current time on the appliance.

Uptime

The number of days, hours, and minutes since the appliance itself was restarted. On the Firepower Management Center, the uptime also shows the last time each managed device was rebooted, the number of users logged in, and the load average.

Disk Usage

The percentage of the disk that is being used.

Memory Usage

The percentage of system memory that is being used.

Load Average

The average number of processes in the CPU queue for the past 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes.

Event Overview

The Event Overview section of the Intrusion Event Statistics page provides an overview of the information in the intrusion event database.

These statistics include the following:

Events

The number of events in the intrusion event database.

Events in Time Range

The currently selected time range as well as the number and percentage of events from the database that fall within the time range.

First Event

The event message for the first event in the event database.

Last Event

The event message for the last event in the event database.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Note

If you select a managed device while viewing intrusion event data on the Firepower Management Center, the Event Overview section for that device appears instead.

Event Statistics

The Event Statistics section of the Intrusion Event Statistics page provides more specific information about of the information in the intrusion event database.

This information includes details on:

  • the top 10 event types

  • the top 10 source IP addressees

  • the top 10 destination IP addresses

  • the top 10 destination ports

  • the protocols, ingress and egress security zones, and devices with the greatest number of events

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Note

In a multidomain deployment, the system builds a separate network map for each leaf domain. As a result, a leaf domain can contain an IP address that is unique within its network, but identical to an IP address in another leaf domain. When you view event statistics in an ancestor domain, the system may display multiple instances of that repeated IP address. At first glance, they might appear to be duplicate entries. However, if you drill down to the host profile information for each IP address, the system shows that they belong to different leaf domains.

Viewing Intrusion Event Performance Graphs

The intrusion event performance page allows you to generate graphs that depict performance statistics for intrusion events over a specific period of time for a Firepower Management Center or a managed device. Graphs can be generated to reflect number of intrusion events per second, number of megabits per second, average number of bytes per packet, the percent of packets uninspected by Snort, and the number of packets blocked as the result of TCP normalization. These graphs can show statistics for the last hour, last day, last week, or last month of operation.

Which protocol is used by the Cisco Cyberthreat defense solution to collect information about the traffic that is traversing the network select one NetFlow telnet https Nat?

Note

New data is accumulated for statistics graphs every five minutes. Therefore, if you reload a graph quickly, the data may not change until the next five-minute increment occurs. Each graph displays average values in the intervals shown (day, hour, or five minutes) for the selected time period (last month, week, day, or hour). Decimal values are displayed when the average is less than one.

In a multidomain deployment, you can view data for the current domain and for any descendant domains. You cannot view data from higher level or sibling domains.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose .

Step 2

From the Select Device list, choose the devices whose data you want to view.

Step 3

From the Select Graph(s) list, choose the type of graph you want to create as described in Intrusion Event Performance Statistics Graph Types.

Step 4

From the Select Time Range list, choose the time range you would like to use for the graph.

Step 5

Click Graph.

Step 6

To save the graph, right-click it and follow the instructions for your browser to save the image.
