Re: PCI v6.1 compliant Application Firewalls - Got any ideas

IPCop wont work for what he needs. IPCop is a layer3 firewall, he is
looking for one that does stuff like examine the sql query before it
hits the database.


Unfortunately, I can't help on this much more than that. I left the
company where I needed to be concerned about PCI before they required
application firewalls. I think the F5's do it very well, but they
aren't open source although they do run on Linux and you can actually
get a shell and have scripts on the appliances.

 Untangle is nice and gui, but it's a pig resource wise.

 IPCop recently released v2.0, and feedback has been good. I don't know it
 stacks up to PCI compliance, but would be interested to know.

Look up DLP, or Data Loss Prevention.  I think this is more what you're
looking for.

There's OpenDLP with a quick google search, but not sure what level of
maturity or function you'll get vs. commercial.  Commercial products
I've seen used in enterprises about are Imperva, Cisco ACE XML, IBM
DataThread, F5, or Bluecoat solutions.  I've only dealt with them from a
network perspective, so can't speak for application function - leave
that for the layer7/8 guys to figure out.

I don't think there's enough small/mid range companies that care about
DLP appliance function to roll their own, as it's usually pretty
enterprise-centric how they use the info, and how they intend to protect
it.  Most of the aforementioned vendors are of course very proud of the
functions too, charging accordingly, taxing big enterprises that grow to
the point they need it for audit purposes and will throw money at a
problem.

Honestly, I'm seeing most larger companies now moving toward using
external payment vendors to avoid dealing with the PCI concerns, audits,
and ultimate liability.  PII data (personally identifiable information)
is still a concern, but more internally governed than externally audited
to slide by under don't do something stupid with data practices.

I am unsure that there IS a PCI Compliant firewall application other than an
IDS (Snort) well tuned.

Basically, you need a layer 7 firewall, and if you are using SSL (as
required by the compliance model) you will not be able to inspect those
packets?

There are network switches and firewall appliances that can do this,
Netscreen and Cisco, but to avoid a PCI complaince code review quarterly, a
firewall will not provide that.

Reading through the compliance docs, you will the following:

1) End to end encryption.
2) Isolated logins with password rotation.
3) Logging for up to a year.
4) Encypted data for PCI complaint storage.

Of course the only thing that you protect on the firewall is the same as
what iptables protects.

There are some good examples that will give you a nice snort, ulogd, cacti,
and mrtg type iptables/ebtables appliance:

http://www.clearfoundation.com/  ClearOS

http://www.endian.com/en/community/ Endian

Not sure what exactly you need for bridging.  But both of these also provide
OpenVPN, so you can turn off port 22 for ssh.

But note, they use dnsmasq, so if you are trying to run a dns server on port
53, that is forwarded to dnsmasq (as a security measure).

I have setup both of these ISO's.

I personally built my own appliance using grsecurity, ulogd, snort, etc.
