libmodsecurity under FreeBSD + Nginx

 ·  🎃 kr0m

As we explained in previous articles, libmodsecurity is a WAF (Web Application Firewall). It allows us to detect certain types of attacks based on predefined rules; using these signatures, we can detect SQL injections, XSS, LFI, and RFI. In this guide, we will set up a system where we are notified via Telegram when an attack is detected, PF rules are applied, and a web page is displayed informing the user about the reason for the ban.

The article is divided into several sections:


Nginx Compilation:

If we already have Nginx installed we must check whether it was compiled with support for libmodsecurity:

pkg info nginx|grep MODSECURITY3

 MODSECURITY3 : off

NOTE: The full version (nginx-full) does not have the option enabled either.


In versions prior to 03 Jun 2020 18:49:04 Nginx had to be compiled with support for modsecurity3, have the modsecurity3 library installed and also install the modsecurity3-nginx connector. In versions after that date, if we compile Nginx with support for modsecurity3, the connector is already included, but we must add the module load directive in the Nginx configuration; in the old version this step was unnecessary.

Merge r532727 from www/nginx-devel:

Convert the following third-party modules to dynamic:

o) accept_language
o) modsecurity3-nginx

Fix the third-party auth_krb5 module build.

Sponsored by: Netzkommune GmbH

If we install modsecurity3-nginx with the new version of Nginx and load the module from the Nginx configuration we will see the following error:

2020/06/06 14:46:36 [emerg] 24011#101851: module "/usr/local/libexec/nginx/ngx_http_modsecurity_module.so" is not binary compatible in /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:4

Additionally, pkg will warn us that the modsecurity3-nginx and nginx packages conflict since both try to install the same connector.


We compile using ports with the desired options, making sure to enable modsecurity3 and remember that once we switch to ports we must manage all packages from ports. You can find more information in this previous article .

Before compiling and installing Nginx from ports we uninstall the current version.

pkg delete nginx

We prepare the ports system:

portsnap fetch extract
cd /usr/ports
make fetchindex

We perform a search:

make search name=nginx

Port:	nginx-1.22.1_5,3
Path:	/usr/ports/www/nginx
Info:	Robust and small WWW server
Maint:	joneum@FreeBSD.org
B-deps:	pcre-8.45_3
R-deps:	pcre-8.45_3
WWW:	https://nginx.com/

We configure the options:

cd /usr/ports/www/nginx
make config

We compile and install:

make -j2
make install

We clean temporary files:

make clean


Libmodsecurity Installation:

We install the libmodsecurity library:

cd /usr/ports/security/modsecurity3
make config
make
make install
make clean

We download the OWASP rules:

cd /usr/local
git clone https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs.git
cd owasp-modsecurity-crs
cp crs-setup.conf.example crs-setup.conf

We download the base libmodsecurity configuration file:

We make sure to have certain parameters with the indicated values:

vi /usr/local/etc/modsec/modsecurity.conf

SecRuleEngine On
SecAuditLogFormat json
SecAuditEngine RelevantOnly
SecAuditLog /var/log/modsec_audit.log

We include in the main configuration the base file and the OWASP rules:

vi /usr/local/etc/modsec/main.conf

# Include the recommended configuration
Include /usr/local/etc/modsec/modsecurity.conf

# OWASP CRS v3 rules
Include /usr/local/owasp-modsecurity-crs/crs-setup.conf
Include /usr/local/owasp-modsecurity-crs/rules/*.conf

We enable libmodsecurity in the Nginx configuration by adding the module load as the first line:

vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

load_module /usr/local/libexec/nginx/ngx_http_modsecurity_module.so;
vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/alfaexploit.conf
server {
 ...
 modsecurity on;
 modsecurity_rules_file /usr/local/etc/modsec/main.conf;

We restart the service:

service nginx restart

We test any kind of attack, in my case a MySQL injection with the following payload:

' or '1==1'; --

We will see a new entry in the log and the web request will have been blocked with a 403 Forbidden:

tail -f /var/log/modsec_audit.log

If we are going to generate many entries in the log it is preferable to write them in concurrent format; this way they will not be logged in a single serialized text file, but instead will be written into different files in parallel:

vi /usr/local/etc/modsec/modsecurity.conf

#SecAuditLogType Serial
SecAuditLogType Concurrent
#SecAuditLog /var/log/modsec_audit.log
SecAuditLogStorageDir /opt/modsecurity/var/audit

We restart the service:

service nginx restart

We create the directory where the log entries will be stored:

mkdir -p /opt/modsecurity/var/audit/
chown -R www:www /opt/modsecurity/var/audit/
chmod 775 /opt/modsecurity/var/audit/

We install the jq tool; it will be useful to view log information more comfortably:

cd /usr/ports/textproc/jq
make config
make
make install
make clean

We check the message field of one of the entries:

cat /opt/modsecurity/var/audit/20230225/20230225-0902/20230225-090220-167731214042.620793 | jq ‘.transaction.messages[].message’

"SQL Injection Attack Detected via libinjection"
"Inbound Anomaly Score Exceeded (Total Score: 5)"

NOTE: It is not necessary to filter; if we want to see the full information we simply pipe the output of cat to jq without parameters.


Whitelisting URLs:

If in our web application there is any functionality that requires slightly unusual behavior, we can whitelist it so that the rules do not trigger for that section:

cp /usr/local/owasp-modsecurity-crs/rules/REQUEST-900-EXCLUSION-RULES-BEFORE-CRS.conf.example /usr/local/owasp-modsecurity-crs/rules/REQUEST-900-EXCLUSION-RULES-BEFORE-CRS.conf
vi /usr/local/owasp-modsecurity-crs/rules/REQUEST-900-EXCLUSION-RULES-BEFORE-CRS.conf

SecRule REQUEST_URI "@beginsWith /CUSTOM_WEB_PATH" \
    "id:1001,\
    phase:1,\
    pass,\
    nolog,\
    ctl:ruleEngine=Off"

Disabling Rules:

If, on the other hand, we want to disable a specific rule, we can use the directive SecRuleRemoveById

NOTE: This directive must be specified after the rule that is being disabled.

In my case I was having issues with the rule:

CGI source code leakage
"ruleId": "950140",
          "file": "/usr/local/owasp-modsecurity-crs/rules/RESPONSE-950-DATA-LEAKAGES.conf",
          "lineNumber": "66",

When displaying code on the web, the alert is triggered because it thinks the page’s own source code is being leaked. We add the disabled rules file:

vi /usr/local/etc/modsec/main.conf

# Include the recommended configuration
Include /usr/local/etc/modsec/modsecurity.conf

# OWASP CRS v3 rules
Include /usr/local/owasp-modsecurity-crs/crs-setup.conf
Include /usr/local/owasp-modsecurity-crs/rules/*.conf

# Disabled rules
Include /usr/local/etc/modsec/disabledRules.conf

We specify which rule to disable:

vi /usr/local/etc/modsec/disabledRules.conf

SecRuleRemoveById 950140

If instead we want to disable it only for a specific IP (required if we enable the check in a Ha-Proxy):

vi /usr/local/etc/modsec/disabledRules.conf

SecRule REMOTE_ADDR "@ipMatch IP_ADDRESS" "id:1,phase:1,t:none,nolog,pass,ctl:ruleRemoveById=920280"
service nginx restart

Log Cleanup:

A good idea is to remove libmodsecurity logs every X amount of time; for this I have the following CRON enabled:

00 11 * * * /bin/rm -rf /usr/local/bastille/jails/MetaCortex/root/opt/modsecurity/var/audit/* >/dev/null 2>&1

Log Analysis and Banning System:

The system consists of a central Redis server and several programs written in Go:

Depending on the server’s role, it must run one software or another:

  • Nginx with libmodsecurity installed: modsecurityanalizer
  • Physical jail host server: modsecuritynotifier

The idea is that the Nginx instances, distributed across several physical servers as jails, write to the central Redis.
And the physical servers reconfigure PF and the HaProxys (one per physical server) based on the information stored in Redis.

NOTE: In my case I only have one physical server, so I will run everything on the parent server and configure the paths so that files are searched inside the jails path (/usr/local/bastille/jails).


Redis Installation:

So that the different scripts can communicate, we will install a Redis server:

pkg install -y redis

We bind it to its IP and assign a password:

vi /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

bind 192.168.69.2
requirepass XXXXXXXXXX

We enable and start the service:

sysrc redis_enable=yes
service redis start

We check the Redis status:

redis-cli -h 192.168.69.2 -a XXXXXXXXXX info

# Server
redis_version:7.0.8
redis_git_sha1:00000000
redis_git_dirty:0
redis_build_id:8e3f49544e856f48
redis_mode:standalone
os:FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p5 amd64
.......

ModsecurityAnalizer:

With this program we will analyze the logs generated by libmodsecurity and create the associated keys in Redis.

mkdir modsecurityAnalizer

We compile and copy the binary to the system:

go build
cp modsecurityAnalizer /usr/local/bin

The RC script to manage the service would look like this:

vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/modsecurityAnalizer

#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: modsecurityAnalizer
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown
. /etc/rc.subr
name=modsecurityAnalizer
rcvar=modsecurityAnalizer_enable
command="/usr/local/bin/modsecurityAnalizer"
start_cmd="modsecurityAnalizer_start"
stop_cmd="${name}_stop"
status_cmd="${name}_status"
pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
modsecurityAnalizer_start(){
    echo "Starting modsecurityAnalizer (Go version)."
    /usr/sbin/daemon -c -f -p ${pidfile} ${command}
}
modsecurityAnalizer_stop(){
    if [ -f ${pidfile} ]; then
        echo "Stopping service: ${name}"
        kill -s TERM $(cat ${pidfile})
        rm -f ${pidfile}
        sleep 3
    else
        echo "It appears ${name} is not running."
    fi
}
modsecurityAnalizer_status(){
    if [ -f ${pidfile} ] && kill -0 $(cat ${pidfile}) 2>/dev/null; then
        echo "${name} running with PID: $(cat ${pidfile})"
    else
        echo "It appears ${name} is not running."
        [ -f ${pidfile} ] && rm -f ${pidfile}
    fi
}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"

We assign permissions:

chmod 655 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/modsecurityAnalizer
chown root:wheel /usr/local/etc/rc.d/modsecurityAnalizer

We enable the service and start it:

sysrc modsecurityAnalizer_enable=“yes”
service modsecurityAnalizer start


ModsecurityNotifier:

This program will query Redis, notify via Telegram about received attacks, configure PF rules, and maintain a HAProxy ACL-RAM and list with the attackers’ IP addresses.

The reason we will configure ACLs and lists simultaneously is because the ACLs are inserted through the HAProxy SocketAdmin; when HAProxy is restarted, the ACLs disappear. To prevent this, we will also maintain the list /usr/local/etc/badguys.list, so in case of a restart the list will contain the same IPs that were present in the ACL.

								}
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
		time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
	}
}

We compile and copy the binary to the system:

go build
cp modsecurityNotifier /usr/local/bin

The RC script to manage the service would look like this:

vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/modsecurityNotifier

#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: modsecurityNotifier
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown
. /etc/rc.subr
name=modsecurityNotifier
rcvar=modsecurityNotifier_enable
command="/usr/local/bin/modsecurityNotifier"
pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
start_cmd="modsecurityNotifier_start"
stop_cmd="modsecurityNotifier_stop"
status_cmd="modsecurityNotifier_status"
modsecurityNotifier_start() {
    if [ -f "${pidfile}" ] && kill -0 $(cat "${pidfile}") 2>/dev/null; then
        echo "${name} already running."
    else
        echo "Starting ${name}..."
        /usr/sbin/daemon -c -f -p ${pidfile} ${command}
    fi
}
modsecurityNotifier_stop() {
    if [ -f "${pidfile}" ]; then
        echo "Stopping ${name}..."
        kill -s INT $(cat ${pidfile})
        rm -f ${pidfile}
        echo "Stopped."
    else
        echo "${name} is not running."
    fi
}
modsecurityNotifier_status() {
    if [ -f "${pidfile}" ] && kill -0 $(cat "${pidfile}") 2>/dev/null; then
        echo "${name} is running with PID: $(cat ${pidfile})"
    else
        echo "${name} is not running."
    fi
}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"

We assign permissions:

chmod 655 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/modsecurityNotifier
chown root:wheel /usr/local/etc/rc.d/modsecurityNotifier

We enable and start the service:

sysrc modsecurityNotifier_enable=yes
service modsecurityNotifier start

PF Filtering Rules:

To block traffic using PF, we will use a table called badguys. All traffic coming from these IPs will be blocked except for ports 80/443:

vi /etc/pf.conf
ext_if = "nfe0"

set block-policy return
scrub in on $ext_if all fragment reassemble
set skip on lo

table <badguys> persist
table <jails> persist

nat on $ext_if from <jails> to any -> ($ext_if:0)
rdr-anchor "rdr/*"

antispoof for $ext_if inet

block log all
pass out quick

pass in proto tcp to 192.168.69.2 port 7777

# SMTP -> HellStorm
pass in proto tcp to 192.168.69.17 port 25

# HTTP/HTTPS -> Atlas
pass in proto tcp to 192.168.69.19 port 80
pass in proto tcp to 192.168.69.19 port 443

# Continue handling badguys in HAProxy, we have a surprise for them:
pass in quick proto tcp from <badguys> to 192.168.69.19 port 80
pass in quick proto tcp from <badguys> to 192.168.69.19 port 443

# Xbox -> Paradox
pass in proto tcp from 192.168.69.196 to 192.168.69.18 port 80
# TARS -> Paradox
pass in proto tcp from 192.168.69.198 to 192.168.69.18 port 80
# Garrus -> Paradox, testing purpose
pass in proto tcp from 192.168.69.4 to 192.168.69.18 port 80

pass in proto tcp to any port 22

# Block all traffic from badguys, except 80 and 443 which were previously allowed:
block in from <badguys>

HAProxy Configuration:

As already mentioned, the idea is to keep the HAProxy ACLs in the running configuration synchronized using the AdminSocket and a list of IPs stored in a file on the filesystem. This way, if HAProxy is restarted, everything will continue working because it will read the file that also contains the list of IPs.

The HAProxy configuration would look like this:

vi /usr/local/etc/haproxy.conf
global
    daemon
    maxconn 5000
    log 192.168.69.19:514 local1
    user nobody
    group nobody
    stats socket /var/run/haproxy.sock user nobody group nobody mode 660 level admin

Attackers Dashboard:

On the server where we will host the attackers dashboard, we will install Nginx and PHP:

pkg install nginx php82 php82-pecl-redis

We enable and start the PHP service:

sysrc php_fpm_enable=yes
service php-fpm start

We include our configuration from the global Nginx configuration file:

vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
http {
    include       badguys.conf;
vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/badguys.conf
server {
    listen 192.168.69.19:8888 proxy_protocol;
    server_name badguys.alfaexploit.com;

    set_real_ip_from 192.168.69.19;
    real_ip_header proxy_protocol;

    root   /usr/local/www/nginx;
    index index.php;

    location ~ \.php$ {
      try_files $uri =404;
      include fastcgi_params;
      fastcgi_index index.php;
      fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
      fastcgi_keep_conn on;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
      fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    }
}

We enable and start the Nginx service:

sysrc nginx_enable=yes
service nginx start

We create the directory where the operating system logos will be stored:

mkdir /usr/local/www/nginx/images

We download the operating system logos:

cd /usr/local/www/nginx/images
wget https://alfaexploit.com/files/libmodSecurityFreeBSD/images.tar.gz
tar xvzf images.tar.gz

The dashboard code would be the following:

vi /usr/local/www/nginx/index.php

We compile and copy the binary to the system:

go build
cp showBadGuys /usr/local/bin/

When executed, we will see the following output:
