Google Titan Security Key on Linux

When trying to use these new fangled things on Debian (Stretch) I needed to edit/create /etc/udev/rules.d/titan.rules and put in it something like the following – else nothing happens when you try using them …

KERNEL=="hidraw", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="096e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0858", TAG+="uaccess", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="hidraw", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="096e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="085b", TAG+="uaccess", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660"

This is based on e.g. the ‘dmesg’ output looking something like this for the bluetooth/usb variant :

usb 1-2: new full-speed USB device number 46 using xhci_hcd
usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=096e, idProduct=085b, bcdDevice=35.02
usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-2: Product: ePass FIDO
usb 1-2: Manufacturer: FS

and this for the plain USB YubiKey like one :

usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 47 using xhci_hcd
usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=096e, idProduct=0858, bcdDevice=46.00
usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-1: Product: U2F
usb 1-1: Manufacturer: FT
hid-generic 0003:096E:0858.0014: hiddev3,hidraw4: USB HID v1.00 Device [FT U2F] on usb-0000:00:14.0-1/input0

Alternatively, you can just download a udev config file from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yubico/libu2f-host/master/70-u2f.rules and stick it in /dev/udev/rules.d and run ‘udevadm control –reload‘

rsyslog filtering (with loggly)

If you’re a bit slow on the uptake, like me … this might help.

Basic logging to Loggly is simple enough –

References : https://www.loggly.com/docs/rsyslog-tls-configuration/ gets you to add in an omfwd action and a template with auth details in …

However, when you also want to mix in sending Apache logs to loggly, and at the same time want to suppress sending some lines ….. life becomes a bit harder.

Here’s what worked for me anyway… replace MAGIC_AUTH_TOKEN_HERE with your loggly auth details.

Place this in /etc/rsyslog.d/loggly.conf. 

# Setup disk assisted queues
$WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog # where to place spool files
$ActionQueueFileName fwdRule1     # unique name prefix for spool files
$ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g       # 1gb space limit (use as much as possible)
$ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on     # save messages to disk on shutdown
$ActionQueueType LinkedList       # run asynchronously
$ActionResumeRetryCount -1        # infinite retries if host is down

#RsyslogGnuTLS
$DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile /etc/rsyslog.d/keys/ca.d/logs-01.loggly.com_sha12.crt


$ActionSendStreamDriver gtls # use gtls netstream driver
$ActionSendStreamDriverMode 1 # require TLS
$ActionSendStreamDriverAuthMode x509/name # authenticate by hostname
$ActionSendStreamDriverPermittedPeer *.loggly.com

template(name="LogglyFormat" type="string"
string="< %pri%>%protocol-version% %timestamp:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %app-name% %procid% %msgid% [MAGIC_AUTH_TOKEN_HERE tag=\"Syslog\"] %msg%\n"
)


module(load="imfile") 

# Apache file inputs :

    Tag="apache-access"

    File="/var/log/apache2/error.log"
    Tag="apache-error"

if ( $programname == 'apache-access' ) and not ( $msg contains "/something-to-skip/" ) then {
