How to extract IP from Log

Unread post by almi.support »

Hi All

Is there a way to extract the IP from the remote address in this Log-example to block it in a rule?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Rule: 1002 fired (level 2) -> "Unknown problem somewhere in the system."
Portion of the log(s):

{"reqId":"Dh6pNaRlXRvL7dD7d03i","level":2,"time":"2019-06-25T02:02:38+02:00","remoteAddr":"194.99.106.230","user":"--","app":"core","method":"GET","url":"\/index.php?seite=0","message":"Trusted domain error. \"194.99.106.230\" tried to access host."}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

regards

Yes, you just need to create a decoder for that application/platforms log format, which will then allow you assign key values for each position/pattern/delimiter in your log file. You'll find decoders in /var/ossec/etc/decoders.d/

For example:

May 14 17:49:12 auth openvpn: Sun May 14 17:49:12 2017 200.200.200.200:17777 [chapolin] Peer Connection Initiated with [AF_INET]200.200.200.200:53230
-->
<decoder name="openvpn-ip-user">
<parent>openvpn</parent>
<prematch>\S+:\d+ [</prematch>
<regex>(\S+):(\d+) [(\S+)]</regex>
<order>srcip,srcport,srcuser</order>
</decoder>

Hi support

Thanks for your help. By my default ossec-server installation the "decoders.d" folder is missing. How to tell ossec to use decoders from this folder?

regards
