# IPAL - Industrial Intrusion Detection Framework

This repository is part of [IPAL](https://github.com/ipal-ids/ipal) - an Industrial Protocol Abstraction Layer. IPAL aims to establish an abstract representation of industrial network traffic for subsequent unified and protocol-independent industrial intrusion detection. IPAL consists of a [transcriber](https://github.com/ipal-ids/ipal_transcriber) to automatically translate industrial traffic into the IPAL representation, an [IDS Framework](https://github.com/ipal-ids/ipal_ids_framework) implementing various industrial intrusion detection systems (IIDSs), and a collection of evaluation [datasets](https://github.com/ipal-ids/ipal_datasets). For details about IPAL, please refer to our publications listed down below.

The ever-increasing digitization in industries enables the automatization of complex physical processes and, with progressive integration into the Internet, also large-scale distributed systems. Due to both trends, well-known cyber-security problems are inherited, which, in the past, already led to severe attacks, e.g., the striking of the Ukrainian power grid in 2015. Supplementing proactive measures, Industrial Intrusion Detection Systems (IIDSs) promise to detect such attacks timely by monitoring the communication between automatization devices or accessing the processes’ physical state. Researchers proposed many IIDS solutions until today. However, due to a lack of standard interfaces and diverse communication protocols across industrial domains, great efforts are required to adapt existing IIDSs to new domains and communication protocols. To overcome this issue, we propose IPAL - a common message format that decouples IIDSs from domain-specific communication protocols. This representation applies to most IIDSs, as all their input data requirements are covered. Moreover, the required data is extractable across multiple industrial protocols due to inherent similarities in their communication patterns.

This repository contains the ``ipal-iids`` framework together with implementations of several IIDSs based on the IPAL message and state format generated by our second project the `ipal-transcriber`. As shown in the overview figure below, the IIDS framework consists of two phases. In the training phase, the IIDSs learn an internal model based on a training dataset and a configuration file with IIDS specific parameters. During the live phase, the IIDSs load the trained models and search for anomalies in live data.

###### Implemented IIDSs

The IIDS framework contains implementations of the following IIDSs. Note that we distinguish between IIDSs operating on the IPAL [message format](https://github.com/ipal-ids/ipal_transcriber#message-format) (on a per-network packet basis) or on the IPAL [state format](https://github.com/ipal-ids/ipal_transcriber#state-format) (a summary of all industrial process values for a given point in time).

## Getting started

If you are new to IPAL and want to learn about the general idea or try out our tutorials, please refer to IPAL's main repository: [https://github.com/ipal-ids/ipal](https://github.com/ipal-ids/ipal).

###### Prerequisites

- `ipal-iids` requires `libgsl` (or `libgsl-dev`) to be installed. See https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/doc/html/index.html for further information.
- The Autoregression IIDS requires `ar`. Please make sure that `python-dev` or the corresponding version (e.g. `python3.9-dev`) is installed on your system

###### Installation (pip)

Use `python3 -m pip install .` to install the scripts and dependencies system-wide using the `pip` [python package installer](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/). This will install dependencies and the `iids` modules to the local site packages and add the `ipal-iids`, `ipal-visualize-model` and `ipal-extend-alarms` scripts to the `PATH`. The scripts can then be invoked system-wide (e.g. `ipal-iids -h`).

###### Installation (venv)

Alternatively, the project's dependencies can be installed locally in a virtual environment using the `misc/install.sh` script or manually with:

```bash
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

python3 -m pip install numpy
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
```

The scripts can then be invoked after activating the virtual environment from the root of the project repository, e.g.:

```bash
source venv/bin/activate
./ipal-evaluate -h
deactivate
```

###### Installation (docker)

Use `docker build -t ipal-ids-framework:latest .` to build a Docker image with a `pip` installation of the project and development dependencies. The scripts can then be used within containers using the built image, e.g.:

```bash
docker run -it ipal-ids-framework:latest /bin/bash
ipal-ids -h
```

## Usage

#### Usage IIDS Framework

The `ipal-iids` consists of two phases. During training, the parameters `--train.ipal` or `--train.state` have to be provided together with a configuration file via `--config`. Afterwards, the live detection phase starts. Therefore, the parameters `--live.ipal` or `--live.state` have to be provided and `--output` defines the location where the annotated IIDS output is written to.

Each IIDS has its own options which can be retrieved by ```ipal-iids --default.config [ids-name]```.

```bash
usage: ipal-iids [--train.ipal FILE] [--train.state FILE] [--train.combiner FILE] [--live.ipal FILE] [--live.state FILE] [--output FILE] [--alerts FILE] [--alerts.update] [--config FILE]
                 [--combiner.config FILE] [--extra.config FILE] [--default.config IDS] [--combiner.default.config Combiner] [--retrain] [--hostname] [--log STR] [--logfile FILE] [--compresslevel INT]
                 [--version] [-h] [--live.batch INT]

This program contains the ipal-iids framework together with implementations of several IIDSs based on the IPAL message and state format.

options:
  --train.ipal FILE     input file of IPAL messages to train the IDS on ('-' stdin, '*.gz' compressed).
  --train.state FILE    input file of IPAL state messages to train the IDS on ('-' stdin, '*.gz' compressed).
  --train.combiner FILE
                        input file of IPAL or state messages to train the combiner on ('-' stdin, '*.gz' compressed).
  --live.ipal FILE      input file of IPAL messages to perform the live detection on ('-' stdin, '*.gz' compressed).
  --live.state FILE     input file of IPAL state messages to perform the live detection on ('-' stdin, '*.gz' compressed).
  --output FILE         output file to write the annotated IDS output to (Default:none, '-' stdout, '*,gz' compress).
  --alerts FILE         output file to write the verbose IDS alerts to (Default:none, '-' stdout, '*,gz' compress).
  --alerts.update       output also updates on ongoing IDS alerts (Default:False).
  --config FILE         load IDS configuration and parameters from the specified file ('*.gz' compressed).
  --combiner.config FILE
                        load Combiner configuration and parameters from the specified file ('*.gz' compressed).
  --extra.config FILE   load IDSs and Combiners residing outside of IPAL
  --default.config IDS  dump the default configuration for the specified IDS to stdout and exit, can be used as a basis for writing IDS config files. Available IIDSs are: BLSTM,GeCo,DecimalPlaces,DecisionTree,D
                        tmc,DummyIDS,ExistsIDS,ExtraTrees,Histogram,InterArrivalTimeMean,InterArrivalTimeRange,InvariantRules,IsolationForest,Kitsune,MinMax,NaiveBayes,OptimalIDS,Pasad,RandomForest,SVM,Seq2SeqN
                        N,SteadyTime,TABOR,DummyBatchIDS
  --combiner.default.config Combiner
                        dump the default configuration for the specified Combiner to stdout and exit, can be used as a basis for writing Combiner config files. Available Combiners are:
                        Any,Matrix,Gurobi,Heuristic,LogisticRegression,MLP,SVM,LSTM
  --retrain             retrain regardless of a trained model file being present.
  --hostname            Add the hostname to the output.
  --log STR             define logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL) (Default: WARNING).
  --logfile FILE        file to log to (Default: stderr).
  --compresslevel INT   set the gzip compress level. 0 no compress, 1 fast/large, ..., 9 slow/tiny. (Default: 6)
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit.
  --live.batch INT      commands to use batching and defines the batch size
```

#### Usage configuration files

The configuration file determines the parameters for each IIDS. A default configuration for each IIDS can be obtained with `ipal-iids --default.config [IIDS name]`:

```bash
ipal-iids --default.config inter-arrival-mean
{
    "inter-arrival-mean": {
        "_type": "inter-arrival-mean",
        "model-file": "./model",
        "N": 4,
        "W": 5
    }
}
```

The IIDS framework allows for using multiple IIDSs in parallel. Each entry in the configuration file can have a different name, e.g., one IIDS for each sensor of a physical system. Currently, the output of multiple IIDSs is combined with 'or' - meaning an alert is emitted if at least one IIDS detected an anomaly.

#### Usage Combiner

If multiple IIDSs are used in parallel, it is possible to specify a combiner that fuses the results of the individual
approaches into a unified alert. Therefore, different strategies can be used as listed in the following table:

| Combiner           | (Un-)Supervised | Time-Aware | Description                                                                                                                                                   |
|--------------------|-----------------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Any                | unsup.          | no         | Alerts if any IDS emits an alert.                                                                                                                             |
| Gurobi             | sup.            | no         | Solves an optimization problem with Gurobi to find optimal weights for IDSs. This combiner may require a Gurobi license.                                      |
| Heuristic          | sup.            | no         | This combiner implements a heuristic that minimizes the number of misclassifications, which maximizes accuracy.                                               |
| LSTM               | sup.            | yes        | Time-aware LSTM over the a window of recent IIDS alerts.                                                                                                      |
| LogisticRegression | sup.            | no         | Learns a logistic regression combiner.                                                                                                                        |
| SVM                | sup.            | no         | Learns a SVM combiner.                                                                                                                                        |
| Matrix             | unsup.          | yes        | Each IDS gets assigned a dedicated weight, or multiple for each timestep. The combiner alerts if a weighted sum of alerts/scores is greater than a threshold. |

To utilize a combiner, the IIDS framework requires a dedicated configuration file. A default configuration for each combiner can be obtained with `ipal-iids --combiner.default.config [Combiner name]`:

```bash
ipal-iids --combiner.default.config Matrix
{
    "_type": "Matrix",
    "model-file": null,
    "matrix": [],
    "threshold": 0,
    "use_scores": false,
    "keys": [],
    "lookahead": 0
}
```

This configuration file must be provided in addition to the regular IIDS configuration file. An exemplary command would be:

```bash
ipal-iids \
  --config [IDS config file] --train.state [IDS training file] \
  --combiner.config [combiner config file] --train.combiner [Combiner training file] \
  --live.state [live file] --output [output file]
```

Note that some combiners require dedicated training files. It is recommended to use a separate training file for the combiner.

#### Usage Preprocessor

The preprocessors are useful for IIDSs, that require a certain input format. E.g., some machine-learning IIDSs work best if their data is scaled between 0 and 1. Only IIDSs inheriting from the `FeatureIDS` can use the preprocessors. Initially, the preprocessors are fitted to the training data. Currently, the following preprocessors are implemented:

| Preprocessor  | Description                                                                           |
|---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| aggregate     | Aggregates multiple feature vectors into a single vector                              |
| categorical   | Encode, usually strings, as an array of binary indicators                             |
| gradient      | Calculates the derivative of a process value                                          |
| indicate-none | Extend each feature with a binary value indicating whether the feature is none or not |
| label         | Encode, usually strings, as numeric labels                                            |
| mean          | Subtract mean and scale by the standard deviation                                     |
| minmax        | Scale by minimum and maximum from 0 to 1                                              |
| pca           | Performs a principal component analysis on the input vector                           |

Multiple preprocessors can be used in series. The following example shows how preprocessors are defined in the configuration file:

```json
{
    "SVM Preprocessor Example" : {
        "_type": "SVM",
        ...
        "features" : ["src", "type", "state;4:PID Setpoint", "length"],
        "preprocessors": [
            {"method" : "Mean", "features" : ["state;4:PID Setpoint", "length"]},
            {"method" : "Categorical", "features" : ["type"]}
        ],
        ...
    }
}
```

#### Usage Alerts

By default, each IDS adds the `ids` key to an IPAL message indicating whether the combined IDS system (all individual IDSs and the combiner) emits an alert (True or False). This is helpful for research, e.g., when calculating the detection performance. Yet, for practical use, this type of alert does not provide any context for users. To this end, some IDSs implement context-enriched alerts. These can be enabled and saved to a dedicated file with the `--alerts` option. These alerts are in JSON format and of the following structure:

```json
{
    "status": "new", # Can be new, closed, or updated
    "ids": "Steadytime",
    "point": "switch", # Source of the alert if identifiable
    "reason": "Values of switch is unknown",
    "start": 1751361777,
    "end": 1751361779,
    "description": "switch=1.0 has never been seen before.",
    "count": 1, # Counts the occurrences of this alert
    "id": "30b29eba-b140-4de6-9f59-b8cc1f015356",
}
```

Note that not all IDSs support this feature yet.

Note that an `update` is not emitted unless the `--alerts.update` option is set.

#### Usage `ipal-visualize-model`

This tool allows for visualizing the trained models for an IIDS configuration. To plot a specific model use `ipal-visualize-model [path-to-config-file]`.

```bash
ipal-visualize-model  -h
usage: ipal-visualize-model [-h] [--log STR] [--logfile FILE] [--version] FILE

positional arguments:
  FILE            load the IDS configuration of the trained model ('*.gz' compressed).

options:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  --log STR       define logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL). Default is WARNING.
  --logfile FILE  File to log to. Default is stderr.
  --version       show program's version number and exit
```

#### Usage `ipal-extend-alarms`

The `ipal-iids` tool works as an online tool - meaning IIDSs have to decide whether they emit an alert live. Therefore,
alerts can not be emitted retroactively, which is sometimes needed for evaluation. As few IIDSs possibly need to
retroactively emit alerts, the `ipal-extend-alarms` script post-processes the IIDS output afterward. IIDSs with the
support for `ipal-extend-alarms` need the parameter `adjust: true` to be set in their configuration files.

```bash
./ipal-extend-alarms -h
usage: ipal-extend-alarms [-h] [--log STR] [--logfile FILE] [--version] FILE [FILE ...]

positional arguments:
  FILE            files to extend alarms ('*.gz' compressed).

Note that the `ipal-extend-alarms` tool does not implement combiners and simply combines the results with OR.

## Development

##### Tooling

The set of tools used for development, code formatting, style checking, and testing can be installed with the following command:

```bash
python3 -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
```

All tools can be executed manually with the following commands and report errors if encountered:

```bash
black .
flake8
python3 -m pytest
```

A `black` and `flake8` check of modified files before any commit can also be forced using Git's pre-commit hook functionality:

```bash
pre-commit install
```

More information on the black and flake8 setup can be found at https://ljvmiranda921.github.io/notebook/2018/06/21/precommits-using-black-and-flake8/

##### Add an IIDS

Currently there are two ways how support for a new IIDS can be added.

*At first you can create a new IIDS and make it part of the IPAL code:*

1. Add a new folder and IIDS module in `ids/[ids name]/[ids name].py `
2. Create a new IIDS class inheriting the MetaIDS class (see ```ids/ids.py```) or inheriting the FeatureIDS class (see `ipal_iids/ids/featureids.py`) for preprocessor support. The IIDS class may implement:
   - `train`: given some training data, the IIDS should learn its internal model
   - `new_ipal_msg`: given a new IPAL message, return whether the IIDS detected an anomaly
   - `new_state_msg`: given a new IPAL state message, return whether the IIDS detected an anomaly
   - `save_trained_model`: save the trained model to disc
   - `load_trained_model`: load a trained model from disc
   - `visualize_model`: create a Matplotlib visualization of the model for debugging purposes
3. Add the new IIDS to the list in ```ids/utils.py```
4. Add the new IIDS to the list in ```tests/conftest.py```
5. Add the new IIDS to the [implemented IIDSs](#implemented-iidss) table above

Note: The name of an IIDS may not begin with "_"!

*Secondly you can create a config file specifying from which file the IIDS should be loaded:*

1. Create a so called "extra" config file specifying the names and locations of the new IIDSs (or combiners and preprocessors). Paths are either absolute or relativ to the position of the config file. The config file is passed to IPAL via the `--extra.config` argument. An example config file could look like this:
```
{
    "IDS": [
        {
            "name": "TestIDS",
            "path": "./testids.py"
        }
    ],

"Combiner": [
        {
            "name": "Test",
            "path": "./testcombiner.py"
        }
    ],

"Preprocessor": [
        {
            "name": "Test",
            "path": "./testpreprocessor.py"
        }
    ]
}
```

Note: The names of the IIDSs should be equal to the names of the corresponding Python classes. The names of the combiners should be equal to the class names without the suffix "Combiner", e.g. your combiner class is called "AwesomeCombiner" then you should write "Awesome" as the name for your combiner into your "extra" config file.

##### Add a preprocessor

The process for adding a new state extraction method is the following:

1. Add a new preprocessor module in ```preprocessors/```
2. Create a new preprocessor class inheriting the Preprocessor class (see ```preprocessors/preprocessor.py```). The preprocessor class may implement:
   - `fit`: given a set of training data, train the preprocessor on it
   - `transform`: preprocess a given data sample based on the fitted model
   - `reset`: reset the preprocessor between individual dataset
   - `get_fitted_model`: return a representation of the fitted mode, which can be saved to disc
   - `from_fitted_model`: return an initialized preprocessor based on a previously saved model
3. Add the new preprocessor to the list in ```preprocessors/utils.py```
4. Add the new preprocessor to the [preprocessor list](#usage-preprocessor) table above

##### Add a combiner

Adding a combiner is analog to adding a new preprocessor.
