Fwd: mod_usertrack for User Tracking

Hi,
I am new to mod_usertrack.
Has anyone used this.
I have configured mod_usertrack.
The logs contain a unique number appended to the IP address of the remote host.
But if I close the browser then the number gets changed.
So How can I track that user.
Can anyone explain this to me.

Thanks

Regards
Sonny

Re: Fwd: mod_usertrack for User Tracking

Hey SONNY,

This list is focussing on ModSecurity. Mod_Usertrack is a topic for
the Apache mailinglist.

Otherwise, check the documentation of Mod_Usertrack. What you are
looking for is probably this:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_usertrack.html#cookieexpires

Be sure you understand how cookies work.

Regs,

Christian

Detecting ModSecuriity with WafW00f

Some of you may have seen/heard about the “Truth about Web Application Firewalls: What vendors don’t want you to know” presentation from the recent OWASP AppSec EU conference in Poland.  I have received a few questions about the tool that they released called wafw00f and how it can potentially be used to identify ModSecurity installations.  I went ahead and just released a blog post on this topic - http://tacticalwebappsec.blogspot.com/2009/06/waf-detection-with-wafw00f.html.  Let me know if you have any questions/comments.

ModSecurity Training at Blackhat USA 2009

I wanted to send another note to the list to remind everyone that I will be teaching the ModSecurity training class at the upcoming Blackhat USA 2009 conference in Las Vegas, NV (http://blog.modsecurity.org/2009/05/modsecurity-training-at-blackhat-usa-2009.html).  Here is a breakdown of the basic course outline - 

 

Course Syllabus (detailed) –

Day 1: ModSecurity Overview and Rules Writing Workshop

·         Introduction to Web Application Firewalls

·         ModSecurity 2.5 Overview

·         ModSecurity Rules Language Primer

o    Request Phases

o    Variables

o    Transformation Functions

o    Chain for Complex Rules

o    Persistent Collections

o    Anomaly Scoring

o    Debug Log

·         Core Rule Set Overview (version 1.7.0)

·         Handling False Positives and Creating Exceptions

Day 2: Web Application Protection Lab

·         Virtual Patching Overview

·         Virtual Patching Lab: Securing Webgoat with ModSecurity

Hands on Exercises

Hands-on labs will include installation and use of the ModSecurity and the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) on day 1, and a unique challenge on day 2 where the participants will have to use ModSecurity to try and mitigate as many vulnerabilities as possible in the OWASP Webgoat application.

An important note with the regards to the Core Rule Set overview – notice the version number 1.7.0.  We are currently putting the finishing touches on an extensive CRS update and we will be reviewing the new rule set structure during the class.  I also wanted to ask the community for some feedback to help decide what topics we should cover during the training.  Please let me know the following –

1)      If there are any specific topics that are missing and you feel should be covered, and

2)      If you are planning to attend the training.

Obviously, we will give greater consideration to those individuals who are planning to attend so that we can tailor the class accordingly.

Thanks,

Ryan

Re: Detecting ModSecuriity with WafW00f

Hi there,

Thanks for mentioning this presentation, Ryan. I have been attracted by
the pretentious title - and I left completely disappointed after a 40min
waste of time.

So the truth about WAFs is that you can detect/fingerprint them?
It sure takes an expert to find out. I have not checked the
sourcecode of the tool, but I am not surprised they go for the
most obvious behaviour characteristics. The ones that can be
faked most easily. 

Do not get me wrong: I like people providing tools like wafw00f.
It is nice to have a tool that automates the task of fingerprinting
a WAF. But the authors should do not sell it like a secret of the industry
and a big investigative discovery.

The 2nd part of the presentation was not any better either, but
I should better stop my rant here.

Best regards,

Christian Folini

Re: ModSecurity Training at Blackhat USA 2009

Hey Ryan,
 
Thank you for sharing your course program with us.
 
This looks like an interesting course to me. Especially the emphasize on
Stephen's work regarding Webgoat is very interesting.
(for those who did not notice, it has appeared in print:
 
What I miss is a detailed discussion of the audit-log format. Maybe
together with a closer look at the console or Christian Bockermann's
audit-viewer. (-> www.jwall.org)
 
I wish I could participate at your teaching, but US Blackhat is a bit too far
for me.
 
Regs,
 
Christian

[Ryan Barnett] Sounds like you were actually in attendance at the conference so you obviously have a
different perspective than I do (with regards to wasted time... :)  Yeah, the identification topic is
somewhat interesting however it certainly doesn't live up to the title of the talk.  The evasion section,
which I will do a blog post on soon, was more interesting to me and my understanding was that they had some
technical difficulties with the demoes and weren't able to show everything live during the preso.  WAF
evasions for negative security rules/signatures? Duh.  Specifically with XSS, there are just too many
ways to create functionally equivalent XSS code in JS that can bypass regex rules.  From a negative
security perspective, WAF rules are much like AV dat files where you are const
 antly behind the curve of the bad guys and have to react to identified bypasses by creating new rules.  The
positive security bypass issues, however, were more interesting to me as they highlight deeper issues
with the regular expression engine configuration combined with poor regex rules.

My general feeling with this WAF bypass topic is that it is *not* newsworthy to report on evasions of
negative security rules, however it is important to report on underlying problems with the WAF software
itself such as the DoS issue we have with ModSecurity
(http://blog.modsecurity.org/2009/03/modsecurity-vulnerabilities-fixed.html)  or Imperva's
XSS vuln in their console
(http://www.juniper.net/security/auto/vulnerabilities/vuln28279.html).

Yes, that would be a very good idea.

x-powered-by php N.N.N

Hi,

First and probably obsolete post to mod-security-users.

i've set expose_php = Off in php.ini still the HTTP headers display  
the version information for PHP, also. I've set a rewrite of the  
headers to a different version and distro.

It must be something i'm overlooking or did not yet read about.

Regards,

Joris
