SSH Keywords
============
Suricata has several rule keywords to match on different elements of SSH
connections.
.. _ssh-hooks:
Hooks
-----
The SSH parser exposes a per-direction state machine. A rule that
hooks one of the states below is evaluated once the transaction's
progress in that direction has reached the state; for firewall rules
the verdict applies while the transaction stays at the hooked state
and stops applying once it advances past it (see :ref:`app-layer-state`).
Request (``to_server``) side:
+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| State | Meaning |
+===========================+=================================================+
| ``request_banner`` | Version exchange: the banner (version) phase; |
| | the first packets of the direction. A banner |
| | line of 256 bytes or more without an |
| | end-of-line keeps the direction here: the line |
| | is consumed greedily until the end-of-line, and |
| | the condition is observable through the |
| | ``ssh.long_banner`` event (the banner data is |
| | published when the long line first parses). |
+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| ``request_kex`` | A valid banner line was parsed; key exchange. |
| | ``ssh.proto``, ``ssh.software`` and the hassh |
| | buffers are registered at this state. A long |
| | banner can publish them while the line is |
| | still open; if the line never completes, the |
| | values are not inspected at a clean flow end |
| | (the direction stays below the registered |
| | state); a flow that ends disrupted (depth |
| | truncation or async reassembly) reads as past |
| | this state, and the values are inspected there |
+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| ``request_session`` | A ``new keys`` record was seen in this |
| | direction: the session is established for that |
| | direction; the two directions are tracked |
| | independently (a parse failure in either ends |
| | the flow's app-layer parsing, see Completion |
| | and failure). ``new keys`` is a transition |
| | rather than a phase with its own data: match |
| | the record itself with a frame rule (message |
| | code 21, see the example below). |
+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
Response (``to_client``) side:
+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| State | Meaning |
+===========================+=================================================+
| ``response_banner`` | Server banner (version) phase: the same |
| | behavior as ``request_banner`` above, in the |
| | server-to-client direction. |
+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| ``response_kex`` | Server key exchange: same as |
| | ``request_kex`` — the direction's |
| | ``ssh.proto`` / ``ssh.software`` and hassh |
| | buffers are registered at this state. |
+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| ``response_session`` | A ``new keys`` record was seen in the |
| | server-to-client direction: same as |
| | ``request_session``. |
+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
Overly long banner lines
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A banner line of 256 bytes or more without an end-of-line keeps the
direction in the banner state. The line is consumed greedily until
the end-of-line arrives, and the direction then advances to
``kex``. The condition is observable through the ``ssh.long_banner``
app-layer event (the banner data is published when the long line
first parses). If the line does not parse as a banner when it
completes, the direction fails and is frozen in ``banner``.
Completion and failure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``request_done`` / ``response_done`` is the registered completion
state. No direction ever reports it: a successful direction tops out
at ``session``, and a direction that hits an unrecoverable error —
an invalid banner or an invalid record (header or payload) — is
frozen in the state the error occurred in. It is the last progress
the direction reports, and the reason is available through
the ``ssh.invalid_banner`` / ``ssh.invalid_record`` app-layer
events and the per-direction ``error`` / ``state`` fields of the
eve ``ssh`` object (``invalid_banner`` / ``invalid_record``
and the state the failure occurred in; a failed flow is logged even when
no banner was parsed, so the error field may be its only content).
A parse failure puts the flow into an error state: nothing after
the failing packet is parsed or delivered, mid-flow or at the
flow-end flush, and the frozen state is what the progress
accessor - and thus the flow-end eve object - reports. The
``ssh.invalid_banner`` / ``ssh.invalid_record`` events are
evaluated as soon as the tx is next inspected - the failing
packet itself unless the error policy skips it - at the latest
the flow-end flush.
A keyword registered at the failed state gets no eof run (eof
requires progress above the registered state), so its flow-end
evaluation stays non-terminal; states before it were already
terminalized when the direction left them. The ``ssh.long_banner`` and
``ssh.long_kex_record`` events are non-fatal: the direction
continues (a long banner keeps it in ``banner`` until the line
completes; an oversized key-exchange record keeps it in ``kex`` until
the record has been buffered in full).
Consequences worth knowing:
* ``ssh:request_complete`` (and the firewall policy key
``request-complete``) is bound to the completion state, which no
direction reports: the hook matches nothing for well-formed
flows. A disrupted flow (depth truncation or async reassembly)
matches, because on a disrupted flow the engine reports the
completion state as the transaction progress instead of
querying the parser. Before this change it matched a flow whose
session was established. Review existing
``accept:* ssh:request_complete`` rules and ``request-complete``
firewall policies: a session-admit rule like that no longer fires.
Failures are reported through the ``ssh.invalid_banner`` /
``ssh.invalid_record`` events instead.
* Rules cannot reference ``done`` (``request_done`` /
``response_done`` do not load): it is out of both name tables.
The generic hook lists for the completion state are registered
under the built-in completion names
(``ssh:request_complete:generic`` /
``ssh:response_complete:generic``); the state-name-based lists
are not registered for the completion id (the id-to-name lookup
returns null). They run only at a disrupted flow end, where the
engine reports the completion state as the transaction progress
instead of querying the parser - so Lua hooks on ssh completion
no longer fire for well-formed flows; before this change the
accessor reported the terminal state once both directions had
sent NewKeys.
* ``app-layer-state:>request_session`` matches only directions that
were *disrupted past session (e.g. by depth truncation or async
reassembly)* — a successful request direction stops at
``request_session``, and a failed one is frozen at the state it
failed in (use the ``ssh.invalid_*`` events for that).
For firewall rules and ``app-layer-state`` users,
:doc:`../firewall/ssh-state-migration` maps the old hook names to the
new phases and describes the behaviour changes.
Frames
------
The SSH parser supports the following frames:
* ssh.record_hdr
* ssh.record_data
* ssh.record_pdu
These are header + data = pdu for SSH records, after the banner and before encryption.
The SSH record header is 6 bytes long : 4 bytes length, 1 byte passing, 1 byte message code.
Example:
.. container:: example-rule
alert ssh any any -> any any (msg:"hdr frame new keys"; :example-rule-emphasis:`frame:ssh.record.hdr; content: "|15|"; endswith;` bsize: 6; sid:2;)
This rule matches like Wireshark ``ssh.message_code == 0x15``.
ssh.proto
---------
Match on the version of the SSH protocol used. ``ssh.proto`` is a sticky buffer,
and can be used as a fast pattern. ``ssh.proto`` replaces the previous buffer
name: ``ssh_proto``. You may continue to use the previous name, but it's
recommended that existing rules be converted to use the new name.
Format::
ssh.proto;
Example:
.. container:: example-rule
alert ssh any any -> any any (msg:"match SSH protocol version"; :example-rule-emphasis:`ssh.proto;` content:"2.0"; sid:1000010;)
The example above matches on SSH connections with SSH version 2.0.
ssh.software
------------
Match on the software string from the SSH banner. ``ssh.software`` is a sticky
buffer, and can be used as fast pattern.
Format::
ssh.software;
Example:
.. container:: example-rule
alert ssh any any -> any any (msg:"match SSH software string"; :example-rule-emphasis:`ssh.software;` content:"openssh"; nocase; sid:1000020;)
The example above matches on SSH connections where the software string contains
"openssh".
ssh.hassh
---------
Match on hassh (md5 of hassh algorithms of client).
.. container:: example-rule
alert ssh any any -> any any (msg:"match hassh"; \
ssh.hassh; content:"ec7378c1a92f5a8dde7e8b7a1ddf33d1";\
sid:1000010;)
``ssh.hassh`` is a 'sticky buffer'.
``ssh.hassh`` can be used as ``fast_pattern``.
ssh.hassh.string
----------------
Match on Hassh string (hassh algorithms of client).
.. container:: example-rule
alert ssh any any -> any any (msg:"match hassh-string"; \
ssh.hassh.string; content:"none,zlib@openssh.com,zlib"; \
sid:1000030;)
``ssh.hassh.string`` is a 'sticky buffer'.
``ssh.hassh.string`` can be used as ``fast_pattern``.
ssh.hassh.server
----------------
Match on hassh (md5 of hassh algorithms of server).
.. container:: example-rule
alert ssh any any -> any any (msg:"match SSH hash-server"; \
ssh.hassh.server; content:"b12d2871a1189eff20364cf5333619ee"; \
sid:1000020;)
``ssh.hassh.server`` is a 'sticky buffer'.
``ssh.hassh.server`` can be used as ``fast_pattern``.
ssh.hassh.server.string
-----------------------
Match on hassh string (hassh algorithms of server).
.. container:: example-rule
alert ssh any any -> any any (msg:"match SSH hash-server-string"; \
ssh.hassh.server.string; content:"umac-64-etm@openssh.com,umac-128-etm@openssh.com"; \
sid:1000040;)
``ssh.hassh.server.string`` is a 'sticky buffer'.
``ssh.hassh.server.string`` can be used as ``fast_pattern``.
