FoD v1.5 = FoD with new functionalities: rule range specification, current rule behavior statistic graphs, multi-tenant rule control REST-API
FoD v1.6 = FoD with automated rule proposal from RepShield
FoD v1.5 pilot preparations by David
Found particular DANTE python27 RPMs (including virtualenv) which can be installed in parallel to normal OS python (v2.6) without
conflicts
Built a rpm with new FoD v1.5 code/config, based on old FoD rpm file, which depend on python27 RPMs
Created scripts for preparing python27 virtualenv environment for FoD and for installing all needed python dependencies, especially
gunicorn and celeryd binaries, there
Workarounds for issues with short storage space on pilot machine as well as puppet overwriting new FoD code
Pilot machine is installed, everything seems to work so far, but has to be tested in depth, especially with real traffic to be filtered
Afterwards all changes for v1.5 have to be adapted in puppet
Excel sheet for pilot acceptance criterias has to be reviewed and finalized
Then pilot can be opened to the commited pilot users
Tomáš, Václav and David started to write deliverable D8.3 "DDoS Detection/Mitigation Pilot" about FoD pilot v1.6 (integration with RepShield)
Plan for FoD v1.6 (with RepShield) development/testing/pilot:
Evangelos installed a VM for Warden/RepShield in Cambridge lab next to FoD having connectivity to FlowMon as well as FoD; Vaclav will
install Warden/RepShield there
Use FlowMon script for accessing NSHaRP events by this Warden/RepShield instance
Firewall-rule-updater component: script which uses API of RepShield to get NSHaRP events (correlated with each other and other
DDoS/security events/information) as well as REST API of FoD to propose rules in inactive state, inform respective (pilot) users via mail
Nicole Harris added Tomáš, Evangelos, and David to GEANT github area (https://github.com/geant), where in future T6 FoD development will reside
DDoS Detection/Mitigation (D/M) WG
Plans for a combined PoC for CORSA NSE7000 box and A10 DDoS D/M solution (Evangelos)
Corsa included new features in NSE7000: Gigafilter, copying/redirecting (on L2) of traffic, anomaly detection
The former might allow for a combined D/M solution with A10 parts where the NSE7000 will pre-filter malicious traffic by the anomaly detection before A10 will detect and inform the NSE7000 about this (change the GigaFilter via REST-API)
PoC of this may start in September, Evangelos will keep T6 updated
He should not forget about integration with FoD (user control)
As today for DDoS D/M solutions a key element is integration of the various existing intelligence systems, e.g. capability of detection solutions to inform (via standards preferably) mitigation solutions, or end-to-end perspective from end-user site via core network to upstream providers (Nino)
GARR wants design and test an flexible, integrated, multi-tenant DDoS D/M, maybe comprising current FastNetMon proposal for RTBH, commercial Scrubbing center (Arbor, Radware) in future
Next step here is test of a ARBOR VM
RepShield/NERD
NERD REST-API implementation is nearly complete
Václav will install Warden/RepShield on VM created by Evangelos for FoD v1.6 test/pilot (cmp. FoD section above)
Evangelos will created already an account for Tomáš, he will also create one for Václav
Certificate Transparency (CT)
As Linus and Magnus are not here today David will contact them separately about status
F2F Meeting Planning
Location: Prague is to be used (thanks to Tomáš and Václav), if no one complains
So everybody can check required travel time
David will create a Foodle poll (starting at end of August) to find a suitable, common date
GEANT Symposium, 02-05.10.2017, Budapest
Everybody in T6 is invited to come there
Exact dates still to be announced
There will be a "Network Monitoring and Management" session where
Evangelos/David will present about NSHaRP and FoD (10min)
David will present about other parts of T6, i.e., mainly RepShield and CT
Afterwards a 15-min discussion will follow
Next VC
In 2 weeks: 26.07.2017, 14:15-15:15 CE(S)T
Action items
Evangelos provide account for Václav on new VM
Tomáš/Václav: install Repshield for FoD v1.6 pilot on VM provided by Evangelos
David: create Foodle for F2F meeting in Prague (beginning after end of August)
all: Next regular T6 VC: 26.07.2017, 14:15-15:15 CE(S)T
