Hybrid Hunter Alpha 1.1.0

Changes:

• Alpha is here!! Check out the Hybrid Hunter Quick Start Guide.
• There is a new PCAP interface called Sensoroni. You can pivot directly from Kibana to Sensoroni via the _id field.
• Bond interface setup now uses nmcli for better compatibility in the network based setup script.
• Filebeat traffic for HH components now use a separate port (5644). This will allow you to send Beats to the default port (5044) and choose how you want to secure it. It is still recommended to use full SSL via Filebeat and if you already have this set up you will need to change to port 5044. We will continue to refine this in future versions.
• Authentication is now enabled by default for all the web based components. There will be some major changes before we get to beta with how authentication in general is handled due to Elastic "Features" and other components.
• Add users to the web interface via so-user-add and follow the prompts.
• so-allow now exists to make your life easier.
• Bro 2.6.2.
• All Docker images were updated to reflect Alpha status.
• Disabled DEBUG logging on a lot of components to reduce space usage.
• Added a rule update cron job so the master pulls new rules down every day at 7AM UTC.
• You can now manually run a rule update using the so-rule-update command.

Requirements

Evaluation Mode:

• Single VM running Ubuntu 16.04 or CentOS 7
• Minimum 8GB of RAM
• Minimum 4 CPU cores
• Minimum 2 NICs

Distributed:

• 3 VMs running Ubuntu 16.04 or CentOS 7 (You can mix and match)
• Minimum 8GB of RAM per VM
• Minimum 4 CPU cores per VM
• Minimum 2 NICs for forward nodes

Prerequisites

If you are running CentOS 7 there are a couple of prerequisites:

sudo yum -y install git bind-utils
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname YOURHOSTNAME
sudo reboot

If you are running CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 16.04 and don't have name resolution ensure your /etc/hosts file looks like this:

127.0.0.1   YOURHOSTNAME YOURHOSTNAME.localdomain localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

It is imperative that YOURHOSTNAME.localdomain is included in this hosts entry for the install to complete properly.

Installation

Once you resolve those requirements or are using Ubuntu 16.04 do the following:

git clone https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/securityonion-saltstack
cd securityonion-saltstack
sudo bash so-setup-network.sh

Follow the prompts and reboot if asked to do so.

Then proceed to the Hybrid Hunter Quick Start Guide.
