Collecting Server Asset Fingerprints¶
HSS can collect server asset fingerprints, including information about ports, processes, web applications, web services, web frameworks, and auto-started items. You can centrally check server asset information and detect risky assets in a timely manner based on the server fingerprints. This section describes server asset fingerprints and their collection method.
Prerequisite¶
HSS enterprise edition, premium edition, WTP edition, or container edition has been enabled for the server.
Server Asset Fingerprint Collection Items¶
Table 1 lists the collection items of server asset fingerprints. Each asset fingerprint is automatically collected periodically. If you are using HSS premium edition or later, you can customize the asset fingerprint collection period. For details, see Asset Discovery.
Item | Description | Supported OS | Automatic Detection Period |
---|---|---|---|
Account Information | Check and manage all accounts on your servers to keep them secure. You can check real-time and historical account information to find suspicious accounts.
| Linux and Windows | Automatic check every hour |
Open Ports | Check open ports on your servers, including risky and unknown ports. You can easily identify high-risk ports by checking local ports, protocol types, server names, IP addresses, statuses, PIDs, and program files.
| Linux and Windows | Automated check every 30 seconds |
Processes | Check processes on your servers and find abnormal processes. You can easily identify abnormal processes based process paths, server names, IP addresses, startup parameters, startup time, users who run the processes, file permissions, PIDs, and file hashes. If a suspicious process has not been detected in the last 30 days, its information will be automatically deleted from the process list. | Linux and Windows | Automatic check every hour |
Installed Software | Check and manage all software installed on your containers, and identify insecure versions. You can check real-time and historical software information to determine whether the software is risky.
| Linux and Windows | Automatic check every day |
Auto-startup | Check for auto-startup items and quickly locate Trojans.
| Linux and Windows | Automatic check every hour |
Websites | You can check statistics about web directories and sites that can be accessed from the Internet. You can view the directories and permissions, access paths, external ports, certificate information (to be provided later), and key processes of websites. | Linux | Once a week (04:10 a.m. every Monday) |
Web Frameworks | You can check statistics about frameworks used for web content presentation, including their versions, paths, and associated processes. | Linux | Once a week (04:10 a.m. every Monday) |
Middleware | You can check information about servers, versions, paths, and processes associated with middleware. | Linux and Windows | Once a week (04:10 a.m. every Monday) |
Kernel Module | You can check information about all the program module files running in kernels, including associated servers, version numbers, module descriptions, driver file paths, file permissions, and file hashes. | Linux | Once a week (04:10 a.m. every Monday) |
Web Services | You can check details about the software used for web content access, including versions, paths, configuration files, and associated processes of all software. | Linux | Once a week (04:10 a.m. every Monday) |
Web Applications | You can check details about software used for web content push and release, including versions, paths, configuration files, and associated processes of all software. | Linux and Windows (only Tomcat is supported) | Once a week (04:10 a.m. every Monday) |
Databases | You can check details about software that provides data storage, including versions, paths, configuration files, and associated processes of all software. | Linux and Windows (only MySQL is supported) | Once a week (04:10 a.m. every Monday) |
Collecting the Latest Asset Fingerprints of a Single Server¶
If you want to obtain the latest data of assets such as web applications, web services, web frameworks, websites, middleware, kernel modules, and databases, in real time, you can manually collect fingerprint information.
Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner of the page, select a region, and choose Security > HSS. The HSS page is displayed.
In the navigation pane, choose Asset Management > Servers & Quota. Click the Servers tab.
Note
If your servers are managed by enterprise projects, you can select an enterprise project to view or operate the asset and scan information.
Click the name of the target server. On the server details page that is displayed, choose Asset Fingerprints > Servers.
Click a fingerprint in the fingerprint list, and click Discover Assets on the upper area of the list on the right.
Note
Currently, only the information about web applications, web services, web frameworks, websites, middleware, kernel modules, and databases can be manually collected and updated in real time. Information about other types is automatically collected and updated every day.
After the automatic execution is complete, the last scan time is updated and the latest server asset information is displayed.
