2017-07-26 VC notes

• (info page for FoD development https://wiki.geant.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=63965046)
• 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 installation
  • Pilot machine is installed, everything seems to work so far, but has to be tested in depth, especially with real traffic to be filtered
  • Issues with Puppet on the pilot machine, replacing FoD files as well as reconfiguring Firewall resulting in blocked SSH sessions and FoD SNMP traffic
  • Evangelos will see how to fix the blocking of SNMP traffic by the firewall
  • Issues with SNMP query time for greater number of router is test network: Tomáš replaced synchronous query loop with asynchronous SNMP handling to fix this
  • Tomáš improved graph layout by switching to other javascript library, also now 2 graphs (absolute values since rule creation and delta values) are available per rule
  • Still potential issue in REST API with deleting a rule, David will check
  • Finally all changes for v1.5 have to be adapted in puppet, Evangelos will check with the responsible admin when he has time for VC
• Other FoD v1.5 pilot preparations
  • Excel sheet for pilot acceptance criterias has to be reviewed and finalized
  • Then pilot can be opened to the commited pilot users, Evangelos will prepare an introduction mail for the this
  • Evangelos will send old pilot evaluation survey which was of used for FoD v1.1 so it can be updated for v1.5
• FoD v1.5 production service documents
  • Evangelos will send existing production service documents (like, e.g., service desciption, CBA) so that these can be used as a basis for respective documents of v1.5
• Deliverable D8.3 "DDoS Detection/Mitigation Pilot"
  • Tomáš and David will finalize deliverable D8.3 about FoD pilot v1.6 (integration with RepShield) this week
• FoD v1.6 (with RepShield) development/testing/pilot:
  • Plan for pilot
    • VM to install Warden/RepShield is ready
    • Use of FlowMon Warden/IDEA connector 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
  • Vaclav started to install Warden/RepShield on VM, Tomáš will find out status of it
  • Evangelos will provide FlowMon Warden/IDEA connector documentation and if possible test events of it, even if he will go on holiday this Friday

• Tomáš will ask Václav about status of installation or find out himself directly about it
• In the context of the project Protective (https://protective-h2020.eu/media/) also GEANT wants to be involved more regarding RepShield
• => T6 should liase and coordinate with it regarding a potential RepShield service in general

• Reference documentation vor CT server v1.0 is progressing
• New log server in NORDNET installed which is supposed to be official productive GEANT server in future
