# Reputation Management

Reputation Management is an analyzing and notifying tool intended to inform about websites blocking and blacklisting.

Choose Reputation Management in the main menu of the ImunifyAV+ user interface to get to the Reputation Management page.

Reputation Management allows to check if a domain registered on your server is safe or not based on the following reputation engines:

• Google Safe Browsing
• Yandex Safe Browsing
• Spamhaus
• PhishTank
• OpenPhish.

How does it work:

• We get a list of domains periodically (via crontab)
• Send it to the central Imunify server
• Get results from it
• Add bad domains to the list of Reputation Management

If a domain or an IP is blocked, then this information will be available in the table below. If a user’s website appears in this table, then it would be useful to send this link to the user. This instruction can help to solve problems with the domain.

At the top of the page (also in the main menu near Reputation Management item), ImunifyAV+ shows the number of affected domains. This number is a quantity of affected domains that exist on the server.

The table shows:

• ID – domain owner username
• Domain – the affected domain link
• Threat type – read more about types on the link (we still do not support THREAT_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED and POTENTIALLY_HARMFUL_APPLICATION)
• Vendor – where the threat was detected
• Detection time – exact time when the Reputation Management detected the domain
• Action – a link to the actions guide

# Settings

Go to ImunifyAV → Settings tab to set up the behaviour of ImunifyAV scanner. Here you can configure the following:

• Resource consumption
• General
• Background Scanning
• Malware Cleanup
• Error reporting
• Notifications

# Resource consumption

• CPU consumption – enables to set a level of CPU usage by Malware Scanner.

  Note

  Low CPU usage means low scanning speed

• I/O consumption – enables to set a level of I/O usage by Malware Scanner.

  Note

  Low I/O usage means low scanning speed

  Note

  If ImunifyAV is running on CloudLinux OS, LVE is used to manage scan intensity. If it is running on other operating systems, “nice” is used to control CPU and “ionice” is used when the I/O scheduler is CFQ.

# General

• Automatically send suspicious and malicious files for analysis – malicious and suspicious files will be sent to the ImunifyAV Team for analysis automatically.
• RapidScan – dramatically speeds up repeated scans based on smart re-scan approach, local result caching and cloud-assisted scan. When you first enable the RapidScan feature, the first scan will run as before. But subsequent scans will see a dramatic speed improvement, anywhere between 5 to 20 times faster. You can find the details here: https://docs.imunify360.com/features/#rapidscan)
• Binary (ELF) malware detection – this option allows to scans user home directories for malware.
• Enable Hyperscan – this option allows to use the regex matching Hyperscan library in Malware Scanner to greatly improve the scanning speed. Hyperscan requires its own signatures set that will be downloaded from the files.imunify360.com and compiled locally. There are few platform requirements to use this feature:
  • Hyperscan supports Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS/CloudLinux 7 and later.
  • SSE3 processor instructions support. It is quite common nowadays, but may be lacking in virtual environments or in some rather old servers.

# Crontab files Scanning

This is the mechanism allowing to address Crontab infections with our powerful Malware scanner. Enabled, it will catch any event of Crontab file modification on the fly in seconds and keep them malware-free in real-time.

The cleanup results are available on the Malware and History tabs of the Imunify360 interface as for any other type of malware.

Tick required checkboxes and click the Save changes button.

# Background Scanning

Allows to set up automatic, scheduled, background scanning of user accounts.

• Run scanning — select the desired period:
  • Never
  • Daily*
  • Weekly*
  • Monthly

Depending on the selected period, precise settings.

• If Run scanning is set to Daily, choose the exact time at the Run at dropdown.
• If Run scanning is set to Weekly, choose the day of the week at the Run on the dropdown and the exact time at the Run at dropdown.
• If Run scanning is set to Monthly, choose the day of the month at the Day of month to run dropdown and the exact time at the Run at dropdown.

# Malware Cleanup

• Trim file instead of removal — do not remove infected file during cleanup but make the file zero-size (for malwares like web-shells);
• Keep original files for … days — the original infected file is available for restore within the defined period. Default is 14 days.

# Error reporting

Tick the Enable Sentry error reporting checkbox to send reports to ImunifyAV error reports server.

# Hooks

# Overview

Hooks are introduced as a script-based interface for various application events. This is a simple and effective way to automate ImunifyAV alerts and event processing. For example, an administrator can have ImunifyAV calling his own script when malicious files are detected or misconfigurations are detected and perform a custom processing or specific actions, for example, create a ticket. Hooks are available only via CLI.

Requirements

• You can use any programming language to create a hook script
• A hook script should be executable
• For Native hooks, you should use Python 3.5 only

# How to start using hooks

Start using hooks with three simple steps:

1. Create a script to handle an event (a hook handler):

• you can use our scripts example as a template
• the following events are available

2. Register your hook handler in ImunifyAV agent - use registration command:

imunify-antivirus hook add --event <event name> --path </path/to/hook_script>

3. Once the event added - check results and the log file (see below)

# Available events and their parameters

• agent

  • subtype ( started | misconfig )
    • started - the event is generated each time the Imunify agent is started/restarted
      • params[]
        • version / string / version of agent
    • misconfig - the event is generated when the agent detects agent misconfiguration / broken settings / etc.
      • params[]
        • error / string / error message where / what type of misconfiguration was detected and some details

• malware-scanning

  • subtype ( started | finished )
    • started - the event is generated when the malware scanning process is started (for on-demand and background scans only, yet not the ftp / waf / inotify)
      • params[]
        • scan_id / string / identifier of running scan
        • path / string / path that’s scanning
        • type / string / type of scanning (“on-demand”, “background”, “ftp”)
        • scan_params[] / initial scanning params
          • file_mask / string / file mask to scan
          • follow_symlinks / boolean / shall scanner follow symlinks
          • ignore_mask / string / file mask to ignore
          • intensity / string / intensity type selected (“low”, “moderate”, “high”)

{
"scan_id":"dc3c6061c572410a83be19d153809df1",
"home":"/home/a/abdhf/",
"user":"abdhf",
"type":"background",
"scan_params": {"file_mask":"*", "follow_symlinks":"true", "ignore_mask":"", "intensity":"low"}

# Hooks CLI

The following CLI command is used to manage hooks:

imunify-antivirus hook [command] --event [event_name|all] [--path </path/to/hook_script>]

The following commands are supported:

• add - register a new event handler
• delete - unregister existing event handler
• list - show existing event handlers
• add-native - register a new native event handler

The third parameter event_name defines a particular event that invokes a registered handler as opposed to all keyword.
The fourth parameter /path/to/hook_script shall contain a valid path to a handler of the event, it shall be any executable or Python Native event handlers that agent will run upon a registered event.

Native

Native hook is a script written on Python 3.5 and allows to quickly process events. The Python file should contain only one method that customer would implement:

def im_hook(dict_param):
	….
	pass

where dict_param would hold the same data as JSON that non-Native hook will gate.

Log File

You can see all hook data in the log file. It is located at /var/log/imunify360/hook.log . When the event comes, the data is recorded to the log file in the following format:

timestamp event : id : started [native:] name :  subtype : script_path

• native is prepended for the Native hook implementation
• id is a unique ID for each event

Once the listener is done, the data is recorded to the log file in the following format:

timestamp event : id : done [native:] script_path [OK|ERROR:code]

In case of an error, you can see the error code you have specified.

# Structure and examples of a hook script

Regular (non-native) hook:

#!/bin/bash

data=$(cat)

event=$(jq -r '.event' <<< ${data})
subtype=$(jq -r '.subtype' <<< ${data})

case ${event} in
    malware-scanning)
        case ${subtype} in
            started)
                # do stuff here
            ;;
            *)
                echo "Unhandled subtype: ${subtype}" 1>&2
                exit 1
        esac
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Unhandled event: ${event}/${subtype}" 1>&2
        exit 2
esac

Native hook:

def im_hook(dict_param):
   event = dict_param['event']
   subtype = dict_param['subtype']

   if event == 'malware-scanning':
       if subtype == 'started':
           # do stuff here
           pass
       elif subtype == 'finished':
           # do other stuff here
           pass
       else:
           raise Exception('Unhandled subtype {}'.format(subtype))
   else:
       raise Exception('Unhandled event {}'.format(event))

# Notifications

Starting from version 5.1, ImunifyAV/AV+ provides a completely new Hooks system configuration. Hooks can be configured via the separate UI “Notifications” tab in the Settings, or via the command-line interface (CLI).

The administrator can configure to execute custom scripts (“hook handler”). Also, hooks support a new set of events and notification types:

• Events occurring in each type of scan (real-time scan, user account scan, custom folder scan)
• Events occurring at different stages of malware scanning process: upon scanning start, finish, when malware is found

Each hook can be configured from the UI and the CLI. Each hook type has the enable/disable toggle and event handler script.
