Configuration

Currently the web interface is incomplete. ASL can be configured through /etc/asl/config, the following is a list of each setting and what it does:

# Authentication information
CONFIGURED=yes                                         # an internal setting, if its set to no you would (in theory) be forced through a configuration dialog
USERNAME="USERNAME"                         
PASSWORD="PASSWORD"
UPDATEPATH="www.atomicorp.com/channels/asl-bleeding/rules/"  # where the rule updater will grab updates
ASLHOME="/var/asl"                                     # internal variable, dont modify

# ASL general config
NOTIFY=yes                             # used to determine if modules that can send email notifications, will do so. Setting this to: no, will disable ALL email based notifications
EMAIL="scott@atomicrocketturtle.com"   # a master email address, settings below will use the $EMAIL variable to assign this address. Can be overridden per app.
ADMIN_USERS="SOMEUSER"                 # who your administrative users are, this is used by modules like SSH to harden the system. Its highly recommended to define admin users, separated by whitespace.
# list of hosts separated by whitespace
IP_WHITELIST="127.0.0.1 10.10.10.10 10.10.10.11 10.10.10.12"    # IP's listed here will not be shunned by any of the IDS's (modsec, denyhosts, etc)
# webserver, custom
SYSTEM_TYPE="webserver"                # webserver, or custom right now. Used by ossec, and some other modules. Use webserver only for now.

# Kernel config
# Disable module_loading after the system has booted
VSERVER=no                             # probably will be deprecated
ALLOW_kmod_loading=no                  # ASL kernels can be set to disallow module loading to defend against kernel root kits. The default is to NOT allow module_loading after the system has booted.

# PSMOD config 
PSMON_ENABLED=yes                      # Turn PSMON and its checks On or Off
PSMON_EMAIL="$EMAIL"                   # who to email PSMON alerts to
PSMON_FROM="psmon@$HOSTNAME"           # From: line for PSMON

# OSSEC config
OSSEC_ENABLED=yes                      # Enable OSSEC
OSSEC_MODE="server"                    # options are client, server, local. Servers can accept OSSEC events from clients. Local is a standalone OSSEC system.
OSSEC_EMAIL="$EMAIL"                   # Where OSSEC email alerts go
OSSEC_SMTP_SERVER="localhost"          # System ossec sends email through
OSSEC_FROM="ossec@$HOSTNAME"           # From line for OSSEC alerts
OSSEC_SHUN_ENABLE_TIMEOUT=yes          # Enables expiration of OSSEC shunning events (see IP_WHITELIST above)
OSSEC_SHUN_TIME="600"                  # Time a shunned host will remain on the blacklist (10 minutes)

# MODSECURITY config
MODSEC_ENABLED=yes                     # Turn MOD_SECURITY and its checks on/off
MODSEC_SERVERSIG="Apache"              # The "signature" the system will present to clients. The default is to send a client versions of the software installed. This helps against recon attacks
MODSEC_UPLOADDIR="/var/asl/data/suspicious" # Where suspicious uploaded files (POSTS) will be stored
MODSEC_KEEPFILES="RelevantOnly"        # Off, or RelevantOnly. Related to above, this tells the system to keep those files or not. 
MODSEC_LOG404=no	                # not used yet. Application default is to log 404 errors in mod_security logs. 
MODSEC_LOGTYPE="Serial"                # Serial or Concurrent. Serial sets modsecurity to log all events to one log file.
MODSEC_LOGFILE="modsec_audit.log"      # The log file for above.
MODSEC_LOGELEMENT="ABIFHZ"             # Elements of an event that will be logged
 #A = audit log header (mandatory)
 #B = request headers
 #I = request body, except when multipart/form-data encoding is used
 #F = final response headers
 #H = audit log trailer
 #Z = final boundary (mandatory)
