A Random IP reputation service acting as a Stream Processing Offload Agent
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very simple service that implement a "random" ip reputation
service. It will return random scores for all checked IP addresses. It only
shows you how to implement a ip reputation service or such kind of services
using the SPOE.
Start the service
---------------------
After you have compiled it, to start the service, you just need to use "spoa"
binary:
$> ./spoa -h
Usage: ./spoa [-h] [-d] [-p <port>] [-n <num-workers>]
-h Print this message
-d Enable the debug mode
-p <port> Specify the port to listen on (default: 12345)
-n <num-workers> Specify the number of workers (default: 5)
Note: A worker is a thread.
Configure a SPOE to use the service
---------------------------------------
All information about SPOE configuration can be found in "doc/SPOE.txt". Here is
the configuration template to use for your SPOE:
[ip-reputation]
spoe-agent iprep-agent
messages check-client-ip
option var-prefix iprep
timeout hello 100ms
timeout idle 30s
timeout processing 15ms
use-backend iprep-backend
spoe-message check-client-ip
args src
event on-client-session
The engine is in the scope "ip-reputation". So to enable it, you must set the
following line in a frontend/listener section:
frontend my-front
...
filter spoe engine ip-reputation config /path/spoe-ip-reputation.conf
....
where "/path/spoe-ip-reputation.conf" is the path to your SPOE configuration
file. The engine name is important here, it must be the same than the one used
in the SPOE configuration file.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Because we want to send a message on the "on-client-session" event, this
SPOE must be attached to a proxy with the frontend capability. If it is
declared in a backend section, it will have no effet.
Because, in SPOE configuration file, we declare to use the backend
"iprep-backend" to communicate with the service, you must define it in HAProxy
configuration. For example:
backend iprep-backend
mode tcp
timeout server 1m
server iprep-srv 127.0.0.1:12345 check maxconn 5
In reply to the "check-client-ip" message, this service will set the variable
"ip_score" for the session, an integer between 0 and 100. If unchanged, the
variable prefix is "iprep". So the full variable name will be
"sess.iprep.ip_score".
You can use it in ACLs to experiment the SPOE feature. For example:
tcp-request content reject if { var(sess.iprep.ip_score) -m int lt 20 }
With this rule, all IP address with a score lower than 20 will be rejected
(Remember, this score is random).
