Has any had any experiance using  Digital Bond's Quickdraw SCADA snort plugins and preprocessors?  They require applying a patch and recompiling snort.  I am wondering if anyone has the ./configure switches used to compile the securityonion-snort package.

I have been able to apply their patch and compile snort-2.8.5.3 on a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04.  I am concerned about the switches and what config files I will break if I try in either a stable or testing Security Onion install.

I am trying to put together some SCADA labs for a class and I thought this would be a great way to expose students to security onion and save myself some grief.


Thanks for your attention to this matter,
GP

Thanks Liam! I'll add a few more notes.

This is the standard protocol log for now, but we have an example script that does register memory mapping and tracking for modbus slaves (based on seen reads). Here's the script if you'd like to take a look:

Unfortunately the coil events and a couple of others aren't working quite right yet. I believe that all of the register events work correctly though.

On the same topic, we're building something very similar into Suricata
early next year together with EnergySec[1][2]

I had a look at the implementation last week and I think it should be
able to land in Suricata 1.5. It will also support the Digital Bond
rules, which are now maintained at Emerging Threats I believe.

Cheers,
Victor

Hi Philippe,

I don't have any experience with Digital Bond. What does the patch script do?

Thanks,
Doug
