Whitelist configuration example

name: "my/whitelist" ## Must be unique
description: "Whitelist events from my ipv4 addresses"
# This is a normal parser, so you can restrict its scope with a filter
filter: "1 == 1"
whitelist:
reason: "my ipv4 ranges"
ip:
- "127.0.0.1"
cidr:
- "192.168.0.0/16"
- "10.0.0.0/8"
- "172.16.0.0/12"
expression:
# Works only if reverse DNS enrichment (crowdsecurity/rdns) is enabled
- evt.Enriched.reverse_dns endsWith ".mycoolorg.com."
# Works only if geoip enrichment (crowdsecurity/geoip-enrich) is enabled
- evt.Enriched.IsoCode == 'FR'

Whitelist directives

name

name: my_author_name/my_whitelist_name

The name is mandatory.

It must be unique (it also defines the scenario name in the hub).

description

description: whitelist office

The description is mandatory.

It is a short sentence describing what it detects.

filter

filter: expression

filter must be a valid expr expression that will be evaluated against the event.

If filter evaluates to true, or is absent, the node is processed.

If filter evaluates to false or a non-boolean value, the node is not processed.

Here is the expr documentation.

Examples:

  • filter: "evt.Enriched.foo == 'test'"
  • filter: "evt.Enriched.bar == 'test' && evt.Enriched.foo == 'test2'

whitelist

whitelist:
reason: "my ipv4 ranges"
ip:
- "127.0.0.1"
cidr:
- "192.168.0.0/16"
- "10.0.0.0/8"
- "172.16.0.0/12"
expression:
# Works only if reverse DNS enrichment (crowdsecurity/rdns) is enabled
- evt.Enriched.reverse_dns endsWith ".mycoolorg.com."
# Works only if geoip enrichment (crowdsecurity/geoip-enrich) is enabled
- evt.Enriched.IsoCode == 'FR'

reason

reason: whitelist for test

The reason is mandatory.

It is a short sentence describing the reason for the whitelist.

ip

whitelist:
ip:
- "127.0.0.1"

List of IP addresses to whitelist.

cidr

whitelist:
cidr:
- "192.168.0.0/16"
- "10.0.0.0/8"
- "172.16.0.0/12"

List of CIDR ranges to whitelist.

expression

whitelist:
expression:
# Works only if reverse DNS enrichment (crowdsecurity/rdns) is enabled
- evt.Enriched.reverse_dns endsWith ".mycoolorg.com."
# Works only if geoip enrichment (crowdsecurity/geoip-enrich) is enabled
- evt.Enriched.IsoCode == 'FR'

List of expr expressions. If any expression evaluates to true, the event is whitelisted.

data

data:
- source_url: https://URL/TO/FILE
dest_file: LOCAL_FILENAME
type: (regexp|string)

data lets you specify an external data source. This section is only relevant when cscli is used to install parser from hub, as it will download the source_url and store it to dest_file. When the parser is not installed from the hub, CrowdSec won't download the URL, but the file must exist for the parser to be loaded correctly.

The type is mandatory if you want to evaluate the data in the file, and should be regex for valid (re2) regular expression per line or string for string per line. The regexps will be compiled, the strings will be loaded into a list and both will be kept in memory. Without specifying a type, the file will be downloaded and stored as a file and not in memory.
