2.2.2.4 Target List – Target Licensing

The number of FinSpy Targets which can be monitored on the system is part of the license information which is imported on the FinSpy Master during the installation.

After infection, the FinSpy Target has no associated license and all its collecting data features are disabled. The FinSpy Master will allocate a license to the newly infected FinSpy Target, if available.

If there is no license available, the FinSpy Agent can still see the FinSpy Target in the Target List and can only work limited with it until an existing infection is removed.

Previously gathered data can still be analyzed.

Once the license is installed on the FinSpy Target all the features become available and the user gains full control over the FinSpy Target.

If all the licenses are used, the new infected FinSpy Targets will be shown as disabled until a new license is available.

To free a license, an existing infection has to be removed from a licensed FinSpy Target. The infection can be removed immediately from an online FinSpy Target or can be scheduled for removal from an offline FinSpy Target. Either way the license will be freed immediately and allocated to an unlicensed target.

FinSpy Master – Installation

Except the License, the FinSpy Master software is preinstalled on the FinSpy Master hardware. This means, only the license needs to be generated and installed via a Machine-ID.

This Machine-ID must be sent to your GAMMA sales contact to request the license package which contains the valid license. The following command will generate the Machine-ID:

# sudo /usr/local/finspy_master/bin/generate_machine_id -x

If you retrieved the license package from the GAMMA support, don’t unpack it. Copy the archive to a

USB stick or burn it to a CD-ROM.

Mount USB-Stick or CD/DVD on the FinSpy Master:

CD-ROM:

# sudo mount /media/cdrom0

USB-Stick:

# sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

Copy the license archive to /usr/local/finspy_master/data/license

CD-ROM:

# cp /media/cdrom0/CERTS-FINSPYV2-Customer_ID-Machine_ID-XX.DAYS.zip \

/usr/local/finspy_master/data/license

USB-Stick:

#

cp /mnt/usb/CERTS CERTS-FINSPYV2-Customer_ID-Machine_ID-XX.DAYS.zip \

FinSpy Master – Configuration

This chapter will guide through the steps how the FinSpy Master needs to be configured correctly to work.

The main configuration file for the FinSpy Master is the “finspy_master.cfg”.

2.5.1 General

The default template needs to be renamed to activate the changes.

# cd /usr/local/finspy_master/data/

# cp finspy_master.cfg_template finspy_master.cfg

To edit the file the text editor “nano” can be used.

# nano /usr/local/finspy_master/data/finspy_master.cfg

Now the following parameters need to be activated and / or edited:

FIN_AGENT_NETWORK_INTERFACE = eth1

FIN_PROXY_1 = 127.0.0.1, 9118

# use the Ports as defined in finspy_proxy.cfg as FIN_TARGET_PORTS

FIN_TARGET_PROXY1 = PROXY-IP/HOSTNAME, PROXYPORTS

FinSpy Master – Remote and Offline Master Configuration

It is possible to setup a Remote Mode and Offline Mode. They basically split the FinSpy Master functionalities in two FinSpy Masters with complementary limited functionalities.

The Offline Master has the recorded files in the database and the FinSpy Agent can process data while the Remote Master is contacted by the targets and stores the received, encrypted recordings. The recorded files have to be imported with the Agent to the Offline Master. This gives a higher security to the Offline Master if remote attacks are conducted.

2.7.1 Remote Master Configuration

To setup the Remote Master the following parameter must be added into the “finspy_master.cfg” file.

Set Remote Master Mode:

FIN_MASTER_MODE = REMOTE

Copy required certificates and the fin_target_licenses.txt from Offline Master to USB Stick

# sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt/usb

# sudo cp /usr/local/finspy_master/data/certs/trojan-commu* /mnt/usb

# sudo cp /usr/local/finspy_master/data/fin_target_licenses.txt /mnt/usb

# sudo umount /mnt/usb

Copy required certificates and the fin_target_licenses.txt from USB Stick to Remote Master

# sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt/usb

# sudo mv /mnt/usb/trojan-commu* /usr/local/finspy_master/data/certs/

# sudo mv /mnt/usb/fin_target_licenses.txt /usr/local/finspy_master/data/

FinSpy Master – Monitoring

There is a monitoring daemon installed on the system which checks and if necessary restarts applications like FinSpy Master and FinSpy Proxy.

The software being used is “monit”. Monit automatically checks if the defined services are running.

FinSpy Master and FinSpy Proxy need to be configured first.

In the following “finspy_xxx” is mentioned which stands for both commands:

 finspy_master

 finspy_proxy

Configure “monit” daemon to monitor finspy_xxx:

# sudo monit monitor finspy_xxx

# sudo /etc/init.d/monit restart

Check if finspy_xxx is running:

# sudo monit summary

The following results may appear.

Successful

Process ‘finspy_proxy’

Failed

:

Process ‘finspy_proxy’

Process ‘finspy_proxy’ running not monitored

FinSpy Master – Port forwarding

It is necessary that the FinSpy Master is able to retrieve packets from the internet through a Router or

Firewall. Normally, Router or Firewalls will block TCP packets which come from outside. That means that some ports on the Router or Firewall must be forwarded to the internal network. This is a so called Port

Forwarding.

Every Router or Firewall handles this differently. Please check the corresponding manual on how to do this.

In the following example a Linksys Router was chosen. In this case our FinSpy Master has the IP

“192.168.1.102” and should retrieve packets on the Ports 21, 25, 80 and 443.

FinSpy Master – Dynamic DNS

If the FinSpy Master doesn’t have the chance of retrieving a public static IP address, a dynamic DNS can be used. A dynamic DNS service allows users to have a subdomain that points to a computer with regularly-changing IP addresses.

On the FinSpy Master this can be realized with a small application called “ddclient”. “ddclient” is used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on Dynamic DNS Network Services' free DNS service. Various free DNS services can be used like DynDNS.com

To use “ddclient” a registration is required on the page.

To install ddclient:

# sudo aptitude install ddclient

It will ask several questions during the installation.

Which service shall be used:

Username which is registered on the service:

Updating host:

After the installation, everything should run fine now with the host finspy-test.dyndns.com.

If some configuration needs to be changed, the configuration file is located at “/etc/ddclient.conf” and should look like this: protocol=dyndns2 use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com, web-skip='IP Address' server=members.dyndns.org login=finspy-test password='dfUc!45XfP'
