1.

Configure Wazuh File Integrity Monitoring (FIM)


Wazuh’s FIM module monitors specified directories and files, generating alerts when
modifications occur. To set up FIM, add the necessary directories and files in the
configuration file:

Open the FIM configuration in ossec.conf (typically located in


/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf ):

<syscheck>
<directories check_all="yes">/path/to/monitor</directories>
<frequency>3600</frequency>
</syscheck>

This configuration monitors /path/to/monitor for changes every hour ( frequency ).

2. Configure FIM to Use CDB Lists for Hash Matching


Wazuh can check monitored files against a CDB list containing known malicious file
hashes. CDB lists are compact databases used for fast lookups.

To create a CDB file, add known file hashes to a CSV file (for example,
hashes.csv ) in the format:

sha256,<malicious-hash>
sha256,<another-hash>

Convert this CSV file to a CDB file using cdb utilities:

cdb -c hashes.cdb < hashes.csv

Add the CDB list to ossec.conf to instruct Wazuh to check monitored files
against it:

<syscheck>
<directories check_all="yes">/path/to/monitor</directories>
<frequency>3600</frequency>
<cdb_list>/var/ossec/etc/lists/hashes.cdb</cdb_list>
</syscheck>

3. Configure VirusTotal Integration for Hash Lookups


VirusTotal provides API access for checking file hashes against its malware database.
To use this:

1. Get a VirusTotal API Key:

Sign up on VirusTotal and obtain an API key.

2. Configure Wazuh to Use VirusTotal:

Set up an integration script that queries VirusTotal with detected


hashes. Here’s a basic example in Python:
import requests

def check_virus_total(hash):
api_key = 'your_virustotal_api_key'
url = f'https://www.virustotal.com/api/v3/files/{hash}'
headers = {'x-apikey': api_key}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
return response.json()

You can call this script within Wazuh’s custom rules to query VirusTotal
whenever a new hash is detected.

4. Use YARA for Malware Detection with FIM


YARA rules allow Wazuh to identify malware by matching file patterns.

1. Install YARA: First, install YARA on the system.

2. Create YARA Rules: Write YARA rules for detecting malware based on file
signatures. Place these in a rule file, like malware_rules.yara .

rule Malicious_File
{
strings:
$mz = "MZ"
$evil_string = "malicious code"
condition:
$mz at 0 and $evil_string
}

3. Configure Wazuh to Use YARA: Update the ossec.conf to scan files with YARA:

<syscheck>
<directories check_all="yes">/path/to/monitor</directories>
<frequency>3600</frequency>
<yara>
<rules>/var/ossec/etc/rules/malware_rules.yara</rules>
</yara>
</syscheck>

5. Set Up Wazuh Rules for Custom Alerts and Active Responses


Once you have FIM, CDB, VirusTotal, and YARA configured, set up custom rules in Wazuh
to define alert levels and responses for identified threats.

In the rules configuration ( /var/ossec/etc/rules/local_rules.xml ), you might add:

<rule id="100001" level="10">


<decoded_as>syscheck</decoded_as>
<description>Detected malicious file based on VirusTotal or YARA scan</description>
<options>no_full_log</options>
</rule>
