Darwin is an open source Artificial Intelligence Framework for CyberSecurity. It can be compiled and run on both FreeBSD and Linux.

We provide packages and support for FreeBSD.

Darwin is:

• A multi-threaded C++ engine that runs security filters that work together to improve your network security
• A collection of agents that use the DARWIN protocol to query the security filters accordingly

Darwin is still in an alpha stage, so few filters are available at this time.

Using the provided documentation and SDK you can develop your own Darwin Filters. We are seeking help! Testers and volunteers are welcome!

Advens (www.advens.fr) also provides commercial filters for Darwin !

Note: This code part follows the C++14 standard. Compile with g++ version 8.3.0 or later.

To compile all the filters available, please enter the following:

cmake .
make -j4

To compile a specific filter:

cmake . -DFILTER=FILTER_NAME
make -j4

You can choose a filter from this list

You can also set a filter list:

cmake . -DFILTER="FILTER_NAME1;FILTER_NAME2"
make -j4

Don't forget to unset the FILTER variable if you want to compile all the filters available afterwards:

cmake . -UFILTER
make -j4

The compiled filter will be named darwin_filter_name (note: the name is displayed at the beginning of the compilation). You will find compilation and dependencies informations for each filters in the Wiki.

Usage: ./darwin [-h] [-l [DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR|CRITICAL]] filter_name socket_path config_file monitoring_socket_path pid_file output next_filter_socket_path nb_thread cache_size threshold

Positional arguments:

• filter_name Specify the name of this filter in the logs
• socket_path Specify the path to the unix socket for the main connection
• config_file Specify the path to the configuration file
• monitoring_socket_path Specify the path to the monitoring unix socket
• pid_file Specify the path to the file containing the pid of the process
• output Specify the filter's output
• next_filter_socket_path Specify the path to the next filter unix socket
• nb_thread Integer specifying the number of treatment thread for this process
• cache_size Integer specifying cache's size
• threshold Integer specifying the filter's threshold (if behind 100, take the filter's default threshold)

OPTIONS:

• -h Show help and exit
• -l [DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR|CRITICAL|DEVELOPER] Set log level to DEBUG, INFO, WARNING (default), ERROR, CRITICAL or DEVELOPER. DEVELOPER mode does not create a daemon and log level is DEBUG.

Compatible with python 3.5.3 and later.

Usage: manager.py [-h] [-l {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}] config_file

Positional arguments:

config_file The config file to use.

Optional arguments:

-h, --help show this help message and exit

-l {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}, --log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL} Set log level to DEBUG, INFO, WARNING (default), ERROR or CRITICAL.

The config file is JSON formatted and contains the filters information. They MUST be formatted as follow:

{
  "session_1": {
    "exec_path": "/home/darwin/filters/darwin_session",
    "config_file": "/var/sockets/redis/redis.sock",
    "output": "LOG",
    "next_filter": "",
    "nb_thread": 5,
    "threshold": 80,
    "log_level": "DEBUG",
    "cache_size": 0
  },
  "dga_1": {
    "exec_path": "/home/darwin/filters/darwin_dga",
    "config_file": "/home/darwin/conf/fdga/fdga.conf",
    "output": "LOG",
    "next_filter": "",
    "nb_thread": 5,
    "log_level": "DEBUG",
    "cache_size": 0
  }
}

In the service directory is an rc script named darwin that is the service script. It handles the following commands: start, stop, status and restart.

Use this for debug purpose only.

Usage: manager.py [-h] [-l {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}] config_file

Positional arguments:

config_file The config file to use.

Optional arguments:

-h, --help show this help message and exit

-l {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}, --log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL} Set log level to DEBUG, INFO, WARNING (default), ERROR or CRITICAL.
