December 2004Grid-wide Intrusion Detection3 SANTA-G Developed by TCD within CrossGrid Framework for accessing monitoring information via Grid InfoSys Info providers insert data periodically –Inefficient, or impossible, when dealing with large amounts data –Better to leave data where it was created –Data transferred when requested by client

December 2004Grid-wide Intrusion Detection12 Grid-wide Intrusion Alerts Grid-wide alerts: –GOC runs custom Consumers querying for specific alert patterns –Consumers send alerts if pattern detected An example filter might be: Consumer alert = new Consumer(“SELECT * FROM snortAlerts WHERE message=“DDOS mstream client to handler”, Consumer.CONTINUOUS); while(true){ ResultSet ddosAlerts = alerts.pop(); while(ddosAlerts.next()){ send Alert(ddosAlerts.getString(“alert_timestamp”,… }

December 2004Grid-wide Intrusion Detection13 Summary SANTA-G framework allows client access to monitoring data through Grid InfoSys Example provided by SANTA-G NetTracer SNORT functionality of NetTracer used to construct Grid-wide IDS Alerts from multiple sites collected by GOC GOC analyses IDS log and generates Grid-wide intrusion alerts To be deployed on Grid-Ireland Jan ‘05
