Writing a SLIPS Module

Writing a SLIPS Module

Slips is a machine learning-based intrusion prevention system for Linux and MacOS, developed at the Stratosphere Laboratories from the Czech Technical University in Prague. Slips reads network traffic flows from several sources, applies multiple detections (including machine learning detections) and detects infected computers and attackers in the network. It is easy to extend the functionality of Slips by writing a new module. This blog shows how to create a new module for Slips from scratch.

New Slips version 0.8 is here!

In the last couple of months we have been busy continuing with the development of Slips, our behaviour machine learning system. And finally we published version 0.8, with crazy amount of features! You can download it from here https://github.com/stratosphereips/StratosphereLinuxIPS. And read the documentation here https://stratospherelinuxips.readthedocs.io/en/develop/.

The Stratosphere Linux IPs, for short Slips, is a free software intrusion prevention system that uses machine learning. Slips allows analysts to quickly sift through large network captures as well as real live traffic, highlighting what is important to analyze. The analysis we do as part of the Emergency VPN service at Civilsphere relies heavily on Slips.

In this blogpost, we will walk through the process of developing a new SLIPS module: the VirusTotal (VT) module. This module will listen for new IP addresses and check them against VirusTotal API. VirusTotal returns detailed information on each IP, and the module will process this information and save it to the shared database.

As the network grows, the possibilities of being infected raise proportionally. One of the most efficient ways to secure yourself is to monitor your own traffic. The Stratosphere Linux IPS and Kalipso are the tools that can help to do it fast and efficiently. In this blog we introduce Kalipso and how to use it to detect malicious behavior in the network traffic.
