Quick Start Guide For AVDS Information Server and Local Scanning Server

Transcription

1 Quick Start Guide For AVDS Information Server and Local Scanning Server Installation and Configuration Two servers have been shipped to you; an Information Server (IS) and a Local Scanning Server (LSS). They have been pre-configured but will require local network connectivity and one setting change. The IS server has the Beyond Security Logo on its cover. Connect servers to a VGA monitor, PS/2 or USB Keyboard and to the network. Boot both machines. The boot sequence will conclude with the prompt: AVDS> On Each Server: [Type help at any prompt to see a list of the CONSOLE COMMANDS.] To set IP, enter: and press enter, then: Type and press Enter [note: eth0 is the left port marked Gb1. To configure the right port (Gb2) please enter 'interface eth1' ] To turn DHCP on, enter: To turn Static IP on: AVDS (network interface eth0)> ip XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Optional: Netmask, enter: AVDS (network interface eth0)> netmask (class C) Or AVDS (network interface eth0)> netmask (multiple class C)

2 Set the gateway address enter: AVDS (network interface eth0)> exit Then enter: AVDS (network)> gateway XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Name Server default is To change this, enter: AVDS (network)> ns XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX IMPORTANT: Save the settings, enter: AVDS (network)> save To view the network settings type: AVDS (network)> show Set time zone, date and time, enter: AVDS (network)> exit Type timezone and press 'tab' TWICE to display list: AVDS > timezone

3 Regions with / after their names indicate that the region has multiple timezones. To view sub-region timezones enter timezone (region)/ and press tab twice: Ex: AVDS > timezone US/ To select sub-region timezone, enter: Ex: AVDS > timezone US/Pacific To view date and time, enter: AVDS > date To change date or time, enter AVDS > date MMDDhhmmYYYY [Example: For the 19th of December 2014 at 6:54 PM (18:54): IMPORTANT: Save the date and time settings, enter: AVDS > save To test the network connectivity via ping, type: AVDS (network)> ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the address of another known host.

4 To complete the setup: On the LSS: Set Password and Install IS IP 1. Open a browser and login at: 2. Default LSS username is 'admin' and password is 'demo'. Please set new password now 3. Click on 'Distributed Scanning' in menu on left and scroll down to bottom of page. Find: 'Node Settings' and field: 'IP or hostname'. Please enter the IP or host name of the IS server. 4. Click on Modify. On the IS: Set Password 1. Open a browser and Login at: 2. Default IS username is 'superadmin' and password is 'testing'. You will be required to set a new password upon login. Set password and click 3. Optional: Click on Tab 'Admin', then on Tab LSS. Find 'LSS List' and click on 'LSS Name' of your LSS. This opens 'LSS Details' in same page. 4. Optional: Click 'Modify' to edit LSS Name. Recommended Name = location 5. Confirm IS and LSS connection by verifying a recent date in 'Heartbeat' column.

5 All AVDS functions are controlled on the IS. Do not attempt to control scanning functions on the LSS. Creating and Managing Network Scans There are two ways to add a new scan to the AVDS Information Server. On the home page there is a dashlet tool called 'Quick Add' which we recommend for your first scans. Use the 'Standard Scan Setup' instructions, below, for access to all scan features. Quick Add To quickly start a new scan, use the dashlet tool called 'Quick Add' that is available on the AVDS dashboard Home page (the screen you see when you first login).

6 First enter a Scan Name, then enter Range; a list of hosts separated by commas and/or a range of IP's marked by a dash. For example: and/or , and/or The Organization field will display a default now and later, if you create more 'Organizations', they will also display here (see more info below on creating Organizations). The scan Organization can be changed later. The LSS field will display a default scanner. If more scanners are added to your system, you will be able to select them here. Optional: Check the 'Create Web Scan' check box to include a web application scan if scanning just a single host. The Contact field will also display the current default name. Later, if other people are added to the system their names will display. The scan Contact can be changed later.

7 Finally, click Create - and you will be taken to the Network Scan configuration page. There, scroll down and select a schedule and/or click on 'immediate scan' to put the scan into the queue. That's all there is to it. The scan is now configured and can be customized to your needs in Scan Scan Settings. Standard Scan Setup In AVDS, each scan is assigned to an "Organization". The term Organization is used to describe a logical group of users, scans, reports and an LSS. This might relate to a location, an area of responsibility or some other segmentation of your company network. Using Organizations to divide a company network into segments is optional and in small, flat networks where all scanning is managed by a single person or group it may not be required. In the example below an imaginary company, 'ACME', has two major divisions each with its own network administrators. In this example we will create 2 Organizations, DMZ East and DMZ West, so that each group of administrators can access, control and manage their own scans. Creating a New Organization (Optional) New Scans will be assigned to the default Organization, which is okay if one person intends to manage all scanning. You can create new Organizations at any time and reassign existing scans to them. To create a new Organization: Go to menu item Admin - Organizations and click on List Scroll to bottom of Organization List table and click on New button Enter the following mandatory fields into the Organization Details Table:

8 Organization name Contact (reports will be sent to the address of this contact) Accept defaults for other fields. Click Apply for the settings to take effect Creating a New Scan Creating scans allows you to program the system to periodically scan a range of IP's or a select list of hostnames automatically. Results will be sent via to the Contact and are shown in the AVDS web interface under Results. To create a new scan: Go to menu item: Scans - Scan Settings Click on New button (below Scan List Table) Enter the following mandatory fields: Scan name: Any string that is descriptive, such as location, IP range, etc. LSS: If there is just one LSS, it will be default selected. Parent Organization: Any Organizations you have created will display here for selection. If none have been created, then the default Organization will be displayed Hostname / IP Address Range: the list of IP's to scan. Some examples: = all IP's between and , , = the three IP addresses specified mail.example.com, ns.example.com and combinations of the above Contact person: This person will receive an with a report once the scan is finished. New people (or groups of people) can be added later and this scan can be modified to include them. Click apply for the settings to take effect The system will now find the LSS named in the scan just created. You will see the message:

9 - Wait a few seconds, and click on the refresh button just above this message. If the message disappears, the scanner has acknowledged the scan and a new panel will appear at the bottom of the page to allow you to schedule the scan: The default scan frequency is 'daily'. Modify the date scans will start (reference date) the frequency ('routine') or time of day, if you wish and click modify schedule. - Once the schedule is ok, click on Enable Scan to have the scan scheduled. Note: Once the scan is enabled you will have the option to click Immediate Scan to have the scan start immediately regardless of the schedule or scan window. Viewing the Scan Status Once a scan has been configured, you can see it by going to menu item: Scan - Scan Settings and select the scan from the list to view configuration and status. Creating a New Web Scan The AVDS System delivers web application scanning including crawling the web site to discover dynamic pages and using authentication to log into password protected areas. The results of the web scan will be integrated into the results of the network scan for that host for a single report. To configure a new web scan: Go to Scans - Web Scan Settings Click on New button (below the Web Scan List Table) Fill in the following mandatory fields:

10 Name: Any string that is descriptive, such as company division, site name, etc. Scan: this is the network where the network scan for that host is done. Results of the web scan will be integrated with the network scan Hostname: (host to be tested, like: URL Testing Limit: Default is 15 Check boxes: all unchecked Contact Person: This person will receive an with a report once the scan is finished. New users (or groups of users) can be added later and this scan modified to select them. Click Apply for the new web scan to be created You will now be presented with additional options: Configure the schedule and click Enable Scan to activate the scan Decide whether you want the scanner to crawl the entire web site, or add specific pages to be analyzed for security vulnerabilities Optional: Configure web site log in authentication (form based or NTML based) Viewing the Web Scan Status Once a web scan has been configured, you can see it by going to: Scans - Web Scan Settings and selecting the web scan from the list.
