DataManipulationBot
###################
The ``DataManipulationBot`` class provides functionality to connect to a :ref:`DatabaseService` and execute malicious SQL statements.
Overview
========
The bot is intended to simulate a malicious actor carrying out attacks like:
- Dropping tables
- Deleting records
- Modifying data
on a database server by abusing an application's trusted database connectivity.
The bot performs attacks in the following stages to simulate the real pattern of an attack:
- Logon - *The bot gains credentials and accesses the node.*
- Port Scan - *The bot finds accessible database servers on the network.*
- Attacking - *The bot delivers the payload to the discovered database servers.*
Each of these stages has a random, configurable probability of succeeding (by default 10%). The bot can also be configured to repeat the attack once complete.
Usage
=====
- Create an instance and call ``configure`` to set:
- Target database server IP
- Database password (if needed)
- SQL statement payload
- Probabilities for succeeding each of the above attack stages
- Call ``run`` to connect and execute the statement.
The bot handles connecting, executing the statement, and disconnecting.
In a simulation, the bot can be controlled by using ``DataManipulationAgent`` which calls ``run`` on the bot at configured timesteps.
Implementation
==============
The bot connects to a :ref:`DatabaseClient` and leverages its connectivity. The host running ``DataManipulationBot`` must also have a :ref:`DatabaseClient` installed on it.
- Uses the Application base class for lifecycle management.
- Credentials, target IP and other options set via ``configure``.
- ``run`` handles connecting, executing statement, and disconnecting.
- SQL payload executed via ``query`` method.
- Results in malicious SQL being executed on remote database server.
Examples
========
Python
""""""
.. code-block:: python
from primaite.simulator.network.hardware.nodes.host.computer import Computer
from primaite.simulator.network.hardware.node_operating_state import NodeOperatingState
from primaite.simulator.system.applications.red_applications.data_manipulation_bot import DataManipulationBot
from primaite.simulator.system.applications.database_client import DatabaseClient
client_1 = Computer(
hostname="client_1",
ip_address="192.168.10.21",
subnet_mask="255.255.255.0",
default_gateway="192.168.10.1",
operating_state=NodeOperatingState.ON # initialise the computer in an ON state
)
network.connect(endpoint_b=client_1.network_interface[1], endpoint_a=switch_2.network_interface[1])
client_1.software_manager.install(DatabaseClient)
client_1.software_manager.install(DataManipulationBot)
data_manipulation_bot: DataManipulationBot = client_1.software_manager.software.get("DataManipulationBot")
data_manipulation_bot.configure(server_ip_address=IPv4Address("192.168.1.14"), payload="DELETE")
data_manipulation_bot.run()
This would connect to the database service at 192.168.1.14, authenticate, and execute the SQL statement to delete database contents.
Example with ``DataManipulationAgent``
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
If not using the data manipulation bot manually, it needs to be used with a data manipulation agent. Below is an example section of configuration file for setting up a simulation with data manipulation bot and agent.

Configuration
=============

.. |SOFTWARE_NAME| replace:: DataManipulationBot
.. |SOFTWARE_NAME_BACKTICK| replace:: ``DataManipulationBot``
``server_ip``
"""""""""""""
IP address of the :ref:`DatabaseService` which the ``DataManipulationBot`` will try to attack.
This must be a valid octet i.e. in the range of ``0.0.0.0`` and ``255.255.255.255``.
``server_password``
"""""""""""""""""""
Optional. Default value is ``None``.
The password that the ``DataManipulationBot`` will use to access the :ref:`DatabaseService`.
``payload``
"""""""""""
Optional. Default value is ``DELETE``.
The payload that the ``DataManipulationBot`` will send to the :ref:`DatabaseService`.
.. include:: ../common/db_payload_list.rst
``port_scan_p_of_success``
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Optional. Default value is ``0.1``.
The chance of the ``DataManipulationBot`` to succeed with a port scan (and therefore continue the attack).
This must be a float value between ``0`` and ``1``.
``data_manipulation_p_of_success``
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Optional. Default value is ``0.1``.
The chance of the ``DataManipulationBot`` to succeed with a data manipulation attack.
This must be a float value between ``0`` and ``1``.
