NAME

fw1_lea2dlf - convert Check Point FireWall-1 NG logs to firewall DLF

SYNOPSIS

fw1_lea2dlf file

DESCRIPTION

fw1_lea2dlf converts Check Point FireWall-1 NG logs into firewall DLF format. Input for this converter is the output of fw1-loggrabber, a
simple LEA (Log Export Api) client.

ACTIVATION INSTRUCTIONS

This DLF converter isn't activated by default in Lire. It requires the Date::Manip perl module and the fw1-loggrabber tool. Date::Manip can be installed from CPAN. fw1-loggrabber is available from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fw1-loggrabber .

If both of these components are installed, you can activate the fw1_lea DLF conveter by uncommenting its line in the file
@sysconfdir@/@PACKAGE@/address.cf

OTHER NOTES

Arrayfw1-loggrabber is build using OPSEC's Software Development Kit. OPSEC (Open Platform for Security, http://www.opsec.com/) is an open, multivendor security framework.

********************************************************

1) Prerequisites

a) for running FW1-LOGGRABBER

FW1-LOGGRABBER is statically linked and can therefore be
run on the following systems:
* Linux (Tested distributions are Red Hat, SuSE and De

bian with Kernel Versions 2.2.x and 2.4.x)

* Solaris SPARC (Tested versions are Solaris 8 and 9)

* Windows NT/2000/XP (currently no W32 of FW1-LOGGRABBER

is available yet and therefore not yet tested)

b) for building FW1-LOGGRABBER

FW1-LOGGRABBER uses API-functions from Checkpoints'
OPSEC SDK. In order to be able to build applications
which are using this SDK, a very special build environment has to be used. Currently building FW1-LOGGRABBER is
supported only for Solaris SPARC platform and the Linux
platform.
* Linux

- Red Hat 6.2
- gcc 2.95.1
- Checkpoint OPSEC SDK NG-FP3 for Linux 2.2

* Solaris SPARC

- Solaris 8
- gcc 2.95.2
- Checkpoint OPSEC SDK NG-FP3 for Solaris SPARC

* Windows

- EDITME

3) How to Use

a) Configure FW1 to enable LEA-Protocol

In order to be able to use this tool with a Checkpoint
FW-1 installation, the following tasks have to be done:

* modify $FWDIR/conf/fwopsec.conf and define the port

for unauthenticated lea connections.

# lea_server auth_port 18184
lea_server port 50001

* bounce FW1 (cpstop / cpstart) to activate changes
* add rule to policy to enable connections on port

50001 to the FW-1 Management-Server

b) Usage of FW1-LOGGRABBER

FW1-LOGGRABBER is statically linked and therefore not
dependent of OPSEC libraries. The binary can be run on
any Linux or Solaris SPARC system.

Command-Line Options:

-s IP-Address of FW1-Management-Server
-p unauthenticated LEA-Port of FW1-Server
-f exact name of FW1-Logfile or pattern to

be matched on FW1-Logfiles.

--resolve Resolve IP-Addresses to Names
--noresolve Do not resolve IP-Addresses to Names
--showfiles Only show available FW1-Logfiles and exit.
--debug Enable debug-mode of FW1-LOGGRABBER

Examples:
o fw1-loggrabber -s 192.168.2.254 -p 50001 --showfiles

Show all logfiles that are available on the FW1-Management-Server with the IP-Address 192.168.2.254. The LEAPort the Management-Server is listening for unauthenticated connections is 50001.

o fw1-loggrabber -s 192.168.2.254 -p 50001

Show all logentries of the default FW1-Logfile (fw.log)
on the FW1-Management-Server with the IP-Address
192.168.2.254 and the LEA-Port 50001.

o fw1-loggrabber -s 192.168.2.254 -p 50001 -f 2003-03-27_213652.log

Show all logentries of the specified logfile. If the Logfile doesn't exist on the specified FW1-Management-Server,
no entries are returned.

o fw1-loggrabber -s 192.168.2.254 -p 50001 -f 2003-03

Show all logentries of all logfiles on the FW1-ManagementServer, that contain the pattern "2003-03", i.e. all LogFiles from March 2003

o fw1-loggrabber -s 192.168.2.254 -p 50001 -f fw.adtlog

Show all logentries of audit logfile on FW1-Management-Server

4) Change History

* 1.0 - Initial Version (2003/03/30)

o get all available FW1-Logfiles
o get data of one or more FW1-Logfiles

5) Features to be implemented

* Implementation of authenticated connections
* Win32 build

EXAMPLES

To process a log as produced by FW-1:

$ fw1-loggrabber -s 192.168.2.254 -p 50001 -f fw.log | fw12dlf

fw1_lea2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called
by lr_log2report:

$ fw1-loggrabber -s 192.168.2.254 -p 50001 -f fw.log | \

lr_log2report fw1_lea

BUGS / TO DO

This convertor needs perl's Date::Manip library. It'd better use
another module for this, used by more Lire code.

The status and licensing of fw1-loggrabber is unknown.
