Why PIX's IDS can't detect a port scan? [7:59052]

2002-12-12 Thread Kenny Smith
Hi..  I implemented IDS in both PIX firewall outside and inside interface, 
but when I do a portscan on my PIX firewall's inside interface IP, I can't 
see any IDS alarm on my PIX log. Why? Below is my IDS config on my PIX 
inside interface.

ip audit name inside-attack attack action alarm
ip audit name inside-info info action alarm

ip audit interface inside inside-info
ip audit interface inside inside-attack

nameif ethernet0 outside security0
nameif ethernet1 inside security100



Q2) By the way, how to add a new IDS signature to our PIX config? upgrade 
the PIX Device Manager?

PIX IDS is very simple. You have only 20 predefined attacks that are
checked. To allow PIX to detect port scan, Cisco should rewrite a large
part of the code of the IDS. PIX IDS is only a support to Cisco IDS (IDS
Sensors/Directors and so on) solution (which have the same problem too,
Cisco IDS is very limited in functionality, because Cisco try to gives
more push on scalability). What IDS you need? There are better and free
IDS on the internet (no matter what cisco saying).

Here is an email that was sent to the list a while back and because you
have unix experience you should have zero problems getting this going in
a few hours.

Spend no money and do this, read my how to here
http://www.homenethelp.com/openbsd/bsd-firewall.asp

This box can then be also used for a IDS so you can track the hacking I
have had plenty of people email me saying it works great it is simple
and written so boneheads like me can understand it. So if I can do it I
know you can to.

This makes your isp happy and also you happy because it keeps money in
your pocket.

Hi.. Groups,  FYI, I have syslog turned on. In fact, I found some IDS alarm 
message in my syslog (as shown below) when I ping from 
100.198.165.199(inside) to 192.168.3.21(outside). I feel this is 
unneccessary IDS alarm. But when I do a portscan on my PIX inside IP 
(100.198.167.201), it doesn't give me any alarm.

Dec 12 11:22:31 100.198.167.201 Dec 12 2002 04:05:49: %PIX-4-400014: 
IDS:2004 ICMP echo request from 100.198.165.199 to 192.168.3.21 on interface 
inside

Dec 12 11:22:31 100.198.167.201 Dec 12 2002 04:05:49: %PIX-4-400010: 
IDS:2000 ICMP echo reply from 192.168.3.21 to 192.168.3.101 on interface 
outside

I think PIX IDS is really not that good

Thanks and Regards
Kenny

Halo Kenny,

Make sure the logging system is on:
 Logging to sys-log server---
Logging on
Logging host Inside xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

You cannot upgrade the PIX Firewall Signature. PIX only monitor for 59
Signature. Need more signature? Then go to IDS. An IDS can monitor up to 
300
or more Signatures.

The Cisco PIX Device Manager is no more than a GUI configuration tool.

Best Regards,
HATO
