  • 1.  Need Better Visibility of Attacker IP Address in IPS Alerts

    Posted Apr 29, 2017 12:14 PM

    Greetings.

    I am trying to find a local source of Attacker IP address in the IPS alerts. I've checked Event Logs and log files under  \ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\CurrentVersion\Data\Logs  to no avail.

    Am I missing it somewhere?

    - <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">

    - <System>

      <Provider Name="Symantec Network Protection" /> 

      <EventID Qualifiers="0">400</EventID> 

      <Level>3</Level> 

      <Task>0</Task> 

      <Keywords>0x80000000000000</Keywords> 

      <TimeCreated SystemTime="2017-04-24T07:10:14.000000000Z" /> 

      <EventRecordID>123456</EventRecordID> 

      <Channel>Application</Channel> 

      <Computer>Server.domain</Computer> 

      <Security /> 

      </System>

    - <EventData>

      <Data>[SID: 27349] System Infected: GhostNet Backdoor Activity 3 attack blocked. Traffic has been blocked for this application: SYSTEM</Data> 

      </EventData>

      </Event>

    A high-risk intrusion was detected on Server within group Servers on 4/24/2017 2:10:14 AM.

    IPS Alert Name

    Attack: an intrusion attempt was blocked.

    Status

    Blocked

    Attack Signature

    System Infected: Ghostnet Backdoor Activity

    Targeted Application

    SYSTEM

    Targeted IP

    192.168.1.2

    Targeted Port Number

    443

    Targeted Host Name

    N/A

    Symantec.cloud - Endpoint Protection    SEP-12.1.7166.6700
    Windows Server 2008R2 Standard

    Adding it into the alert email would be okay too, as I can process those with automation, but a local source would be ideal.

    Best,
    Tim

    From the IPS log in SEPM, open the details portion and it should show the remote IP (attacker).

    Thanks, Brian. I should have been more clear...

    Is there a local source that can be read programmatically, such as a log file, event log entry, etc. with this information?

    (I'm not using SEPM -- only the Symantec hostedendpoint site for management, so not sure if SEPM would log this to a file or event log itself.)

    Best,
    Tim
