Description

The Flow Traffic Analysis System (FTAS) routinely reports incidents that were prevented by automated measures. The prevention mechanism is generally a blocking of specific flows. The affected users should therefore be notified of the blocking and the characteristics of the prevented traffic. IDEA events sent by FTAS do contain the required information and can be transformed into such reports. Automatic way is preferable to the current state - personal warnings by FTAS administrators.
These reports must be distinguished from the existing ones, as they differ in two aspects:
- The recipient is a target of an attack,
- The reports are mostly informative, no action is expected of the recipient.

Poznámky ze schůzky 2024-07-23:

  • Hlavičky v Idea _Mentat: vedle EventClass, EventSeverity, ResolvedAbuses použijeme TargetClass, TargetSeverity, TargetAbuses
  • V rozhraní Source groups, Target groups (kde to dává smysl zbavujeme se 'abuse')
  • Subclassy, Tresholding a relapse, filtry - bylo by vhodné zachovat, zvlášť pokud to povede k znovupoužití kódu

I tried hot patching mentat-dev based on 19101ef5 and another issue occurred:

KeyError: 'abuse@xxxxxxx'

The actual name of the group is redacted. It specifically fails on this group though, the error occurred also on the second run.

Some reports contain wrong average packet sizes. For example https://mentat-dev.cesnet.cz/mentat/reports/M20241014TL-E7CXD/unauth - reported with 1, which does not compute from original data.

This may have something to do with the fact, that this specific group is disabled on mentat-dev. There are 9 disabled groups total, but we probably do not hit them all (or at least the offending one is hit first):

Missing +. Should be fixed now.

WHOIS mapped IP to a network even though the network was from a disabled group. This should also be fixed now.
