The Maltrail is a malicious traffic detection system, using publicly available lists containing malicious or generally suspicious "paths", along with static traces collected from various AV reports and custom user-defined lists, where the trace can be anything from , URL, IP address or price user header and HTTP.
It also uses advanced heuristic mechanisms that can help detect unknown threats.
Architecture
In case of a positive match, it sends the details of the event to the (central) server where they are stored in the appropriate log directory (ie LOG_DIR described in the Configuration section).
If the sensor is running on the same computer as the server (default configuration), the logs are stored directly in the local log directory. Otherwise, they are sent via UDP messages to the remote server (ie LOG_SERVER described in the Configuration section).
The primary role of the server is to store event details and provide support for the web reporting application. In the default configuration, the server and sensor will work on the same computer.
Thus, to avoid possible interruptions in sensor activities, the front-end reporting part is based on a “Fat client” architecture (i.e. all data after processing are made in the presence of the preletterof the client's web browser).
The events (i.e. log entries) for the selected period (24 hours) are transferred to the client, where the web reporting application is solely responsible for the presentations. The data is sent to the client in compressed parts, where it is processed sequentially. The final report is created in a condensed format, allowing virtually an unlimited number of events to be presented.
