Hello!   We know you are all concerned on having the Expedition tool on an old not-supported Ubuntu. You had requested several times to increase support for newer versions of the OS, and we have finally reached to the point we can present Expedition on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.   We have updated our Expedition installer and some internal modules (Spark codes, database structures and webserver backend) to be able to support the tool installation on the current Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. The installation process is very similar as it used to be, but to help you in the task, we have written an Instructions document with multiple images that will certainly guide you.   And, on top of all this, we are providing a Transfer Assistant that will help you transferring all your Expedition projects, devices, user credentials, traffic logs, etc. from your old Expedition to a new one.   You will find the Installation document in our Expedition Documents section: https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/expedition-articles/expedition-documentation/ta-p/215619   Let's start a new Expedition together!

  Palo Alto Networks, August 2, 2021   Dear Expedition Users,   During the years, we have evidenced a sustained and increased usage of the Expedition 1.0 tool, earlier known as the Migration Tool. As many of you know, we want to increase the number of functionalities in our tools, to enhance existing functionalities and to improve their quality.   To achieve these improvements, we have decided to join efforts with Professional Services. A dedicated team in Professional Services will take ownership of the code used for configuration translations from third party vendors to PANOS.   This strategy will improve the migrations that we have been offering during the years with the Expedition tool,  increasing the resources in the team dedicated to the translations,  improving the quality assurance with fewer bugs, having a closer the relationship with the Professional Services consultants that consume the translation functionalities on a daily basis,  increasing the number of Use Cases that are supported and decreasing the response time to support new functionalities , making the migrations in your projects more pleasant and efficient.   As a consequence, we have taken the decision to postpone the launch of Expedition 2.0 until April 2022, to guarantee the quality of the release and to extend the functionalities that the tool will provide. During this period, Expedition 1.0 will continue to be supported by the Expedition team, and we are working on updating our code and installation process to make it available for Ubuntu Server 20.04.   We would like to remark that Expedition 2.0 will continue being offered free of charge, as well as the translations from third party vendors to PANOS.   The Expedition Team

With the new version of Checkpoint Smartcenter R80, the way to obtain the rules has changed.    Exporting Configuration   To export the configuration from a Checkpoint R80 we are gonna need to download a tool from the Checkpoint's Github. We want to be sure we download latest version of the tool since the one it comes installed in your SmartCenter usually is old and may contain bugs.   So first open your preferred web browser and go to:   https://github.com/CheckPointSW/ShowPolicyPackage/releases   Check the latest, at the moment of updating this post latest version was 2.0.6, so in order to download it we have to click on the file named: web_api_show_package-jar-with-dependencies.jar   https://github.com/CheckPointSW/ShowPolicyPackage/releases/download/V2.0.6/web_api_show_package-jar-with-dependencies.jar   After download the file you have to UPLOAD it to your SmartCenter Server where Checkpoint R80 management is running. Use your SCP preferred tool to do it.   Please read the README.md file shown in https://github.com/CheckPointSW/ShowPolicyPackage to understand how to run the downloaded file properly, pay special attention to the Examples   Before you run the command verify the Checkpoint API is running otherwise this tool will fail to execute. Please read this if you don' t know how to enable/verify if your API is UP and Running   Now you can RUN the tool from CLI as EXPERT   java -jar web_api_show_package-jar-with-dependencies.jar -v   The output from that command will let you know what Packages are available to export   Last command we have to run is the following where PACKAGE_NAME is the name you have chosen from the previous command and in case you are in a MULTI-DOMAIN environment specify the DOMAIN_NAME too (-d is OPTIONAL):    java -jar web_api_show_package-jar-with-dependencies.jar -k <PACKAGE NAME> -d <DOMAIN NAME>   This will create a new tgz file which you will use as is to import into Expedition Importation page.   Exporting Routing and interfaces   From the Firewall CLI, you can run the following:   netstat -nr > routes.txt   With all this information, we can go to Expedition, Create a new Project, enter the Project, and go to IMPORT > CHECKPOINT > VERSION R80.   Assign a name to your configuration such as "MyInternetGW" Select the tgz file and attache it to the proper input Select the routes.txt for the routes Click UPLOAD   References: Checkpoint Website article about the show package tool    

Symptoms When Importing either PAN-OS configuration or 3rd party vendor configuration, the import progress bar stuck in the middle without throwing any errors.    Diagnosis All migrations in Expedition 1 leave traces for debugging in the error file located in /tmp/error. Below we present an example of an error that could be reported on a migration:    In this specific case, the migration parser could not complete due to a limit amount of RAM allowed to be used in the migration process (Allowed memory size of 4GB exhausted) Solution Fortunately, this is RAM limit simple to handle. In your Expedition WEBUI, go to "Settings" -> "CUSTOM PARAMS", increase the allowed RAM ("PARSER_max_execution_memory") to a larger value without exceeding your VM RAM. If you have 16G RAM in your expedition VM, you could change the value up to "16G"  as shown in the below screenshot below. Notice that in most of the cases, your configuration won't be as large that becomes necessary to allocate such a large amount of "Allowed RAM". For most scenarios, 4GB should be enough, therefore try allocating 6GB or 8GB until your migration can be completed.    

Expedition – The Glue Between IronSkillet and Best Practices Expedition was conceived to reduce the time and efforts a security admin needs to improve and optimize their Palo Alto Networks configurations. Following that effort, we have added, within Expedition, support not only to run a BPA analysis if not also be able to remediate some of the failed checks (all related to Device Config) and now integration with the project IronSkillet. https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/iron-skillet

Be the first to discover the new dynamic log connector functionality and learn about App-ID Adoption and the new Device Monitor...

Explore the Expedition Dashboard   Expedition Dashboard   There are 2 parts related to the VM Stats, one controls the stats for the local VM running the GUI and the ML Health in case is running on another VM shows the stats from the remote Expedition VM.   That means you can setup 2 Expedition VMs and use one for the GUI and another with more CPU and RAM to run the data analysis and machine learning. If this is your case just go to SETTINGS -> M. Learning and setup the IP address where your Expedition with more resources is running and click on SAVE.   The Task Manager must be always UP and controls all the backend jobs requested from the GUI like to retrieve contents from a device using the API keys.   Expedition comes with a self-check list to at least show you if there is something that can be improved in the system or if some dependencies or required functions are working properly or missing.   Close to the logo you can find the version and the released day plus what version of the Best Practices Assessment Tool is running.

What is Expedition?   Expedition is the fourth evolution of the Palo Alto Networks Migration Tool. The main purpose of this tool was help reducing the time and efforts to migrate a configuration from one of the supported vendors to Palo Alto Networks.   By using the Migration Tool, everyone can convert a configuration from Checkpoint or Cisco or any other vendor to a PAN-OS and give you more time to improve the results. Migration Tool 3 added some functionalities to allow our customers to enforce security policies based on App-ID and User-ID as well.   With Expedition, we have gone one step further, not only because we want to continue helping to facilitate the transition of a security policy from others vendors to PAN-OS, but we want to ensure the outcome is the best as possible. This is why we added a Machine Learning module that can help you generate new security policies based on real log traffic and the introduction of the Best Practices Assessment Tool to check the configuration complies with the Best Practices recommended by our security experts.   With all these huge improvements we expect the next time you use Expedition the journey to the excellence will be easier.   NOTE: Expedition is supported by the community as best effort   The Palo Alto Networks TAC does not provide support, so please post your questions in the community.   Go to: Expedition landing page on LIVEcommunity

(DO NOT EDIT resolv.conf)   If needed, the steps to statically configure a DNS server to the Expedition server will be to edit the dns-nameserver in the /etc/network/interfaces file.    Editing resolv.conf is not reliable as any edits will be overwritten on reboot of the Expedition server.   expedition@Expedition:/etc/network$ sudo vi interfaces   Configured to use DHCP   # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.

This document describes how to enable and configure the new feature in update version 1.1.20 to enable the scheduling of log processing for the Machine Learning feature.

Expedition uses PHP to perform the backend actions. Some of those require interactions with MariaDB databases and use mysqli as a driver to connect to these databases.   In order to ensure that connections to the database are alive, we want to modify one of the PHP System parameters that allows reconnections to the database once those are lost.   Open a terminal to Expedition and edit the following files:   1. php.ini for Apache Edit the php.ini file for Apache with the following command sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini change (you can use the Search feature with ^W) mysqli.reconnect = Off to mysqli.reconnect = On Write the changes with ^O and exit nano with ^X     2. php.ini for CLI Edit the php.ini file for Apache with the following command sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini change (you can use the Search feature with ^W) mysqli.reconnect = Off to mysqli.reconnect = On  Write the changes with ^O and exit nano with ^X     3. Apply the changes Once the changes are done, apply them by sudo service apache2 restart

The attached document has been used as a lab guide to configure the machine learning in your environment.    Replace the VM and Expedition details using your configuration and traffic logs to start using machine learning to show how App-ID can be employed to reduce the attack surface of your security policies.

Generate the XML configuration by running this command from the CLI   show configuration | display xml | no-more   Before you import a Juniper SRX into Expedition, there are some manual checks we can do to verify the migration will work.   The configuration must start only with <configuration> tag, you have to replace everything before or inside that tag by only <configuration> The configuration must end with </configuration> any other text after it must be removed         Here's an example on how a SRX config should look when you edit:   <configuration> .... .... </configuration>   For integrity validation is a good practice try to open the XML file from FIREFOX browser becasue if something is breaking the XML integretity FIREFOX will notice to you which line has an invalid character. You must replace the invalid character before upload it to Expedition This is an example of wrong configuration. It seems someone created the file but stored with wrong jumps on it, so Firefox will complain about the format.        If we edit the file, we can see this at line 911 of the config file:   <pre-shared-key> <ascii-text>$9$4xxxxxxxxxxxx</asc ii-text> </pre-shared-key>    To fix this example, we have to remove the break line after </asc to:   <pre-shared-key> <ascii-text>$9$4xxxxxxxxxxxx</ascii-text> </pre-shared-key>  Fix all the problems before importing into Expedition.   Hope this helps.

Expedition comes with a built-in messaging queue system.   This mechanism allows it to prepare some tasks and send it to the queue. With this, we can run jobs internally without having to wait until the job is finished in the same page we are.   The first thing you will have to do when you enter in Expedition is check if the process is UP or DOWN, click on START in case is DOWN. If this is DOWN the Jobs will not be executed until it get's UP again. Dashboard  Some of the tasks relaying in the TASK MANAGER are: Download contents from Devices Auto-Zone Function Retrieve dynamic reports from firewalls for App-ID and User-ID adoption Machine Learning     Debug: If you want to see the output generated by the jobs running from the Queue you can see the content here:   tail -f /home/userSpace/panReadOrders.log    

There are many ways to replace Zones in your Rules but there is one that really makes a difference.   The idea in this example is replace the Zone called VPN-Didac by Untrust. So the approach we will take is filter by the Zone and see where this zone is used and then do the replace.   From within the Project navigate to Network and then click on Zones.         From there right-click on the Zone (point he mouse over the name) we want to replace, in our case VPN-Didac and select Add to filter.   This will create a new filter and we need to activate it by using drag and drop to drop it under ACTIVE folder and click on APPLY FILTER button.       Navigate to TOOLS and Search and Replace. Select from the left panel where the output from the filters are listed the Zone we want to replace and then Expedition will search in what groups or policies has been used.     In our example we will click on Security Policies and we will select all the rules where this zone was seen and we will add to Replace, the same will do with the Nat Policies shown as well. After that we will click on REPLACE.   From the REPLACE view and keeping all the elements selected choose from the combo called Replace by "Zones" and then from the next combo called "To" select the zone you want to be replaced by the one you searched.     Click on Replace All and check from the Rules the change was effectively done.       Done !  

Question Can I export my project to another Expedition instance? Answer Yes you can!   Export a Project:    Warning: Only Expedition Super-Users can Import and Export Projects.   Login to your Expedition Go to Projects Tab Select the project you want to export and click on Settings Projects View        4. Go to the Import/Export sub-Tab      5. Click on the Export button.       6. Click on Save   Import Export View   Import a Project:       1. Create a new Project     2. Click on Settings of the project     3.  Go to the Import/Export sub-Tab     4. From the Import fieldset click on Browse to select the project to import     5. Click on Save   Warning: In case the project already exists the content will be replaced by the new one, whatever it was in the project will be replaced with the new content.     The log connectors will be removed from the project because they reference devices that may not exists where you are importing the project.   Import Export View  

There is a time when you already started a project and then you need to import the configuration from one device you didn't created yet.   From the Expedition Dashboard, go to Devices and add the new device. After generate the keys and import the contents go to the Projects view Select your project and click on settings Go to Devices Select the firewall you want to bring to your project Click on the Arrow that points to the Right Click on Save   Project's Settings View   Now when you enter into your project and navigate to the Import tab you will see the device to be imported.   

In Expedition, there are many different ways to setup a filter. Let's start from the beginning.   Case A) Project Dashboard:      Project Dashboard   When you click on one of the counters from the PROJECT STATISTICS Expedition will set a filter and will jump into the object selected. If you click on services Duplicated counter this is the filter will take action plus you will be transported to the Services view Filter Window   Case B) Predefined Filters   From any objects view when we press right-click an advanced menu will be shown, one of the options its called predefined filters, just open the list and select the one you want to automatically create and apply the filter.   Right-click over one service     Each type of object can have their own predefined filters but usually they are common between them   Case C) Custom Filters   Click on Filters from the Objects or Policies view to get access to the Filter assistant Access to Filter Assistant     A new window will show up. From here we can create our custom filter   Scope: Where this filter will apply, The more number of objects you add to the scope will reduce the amount of fields common between them to be able to search by, like if you select as scope address and addressgroups you can search only by name, tag and description because those are the fields in common, if you only select address all the fields related to address can be used to search like ipaddress, cidr, etc... Field: the field we want use to filter Operator: It can be equal, or contains, etc What to search: Text we want to search on the selected field. to CREATE the filter click on the plus button Creating custom filter   To Apply the new filter we have to select the filter from AVAILABLE and DROP into ACTIVE folder Click on APPLY FILTER Edit Custom Filter   From the Objects and Policies views, you can see if there is any Active filter and Clear them all     Remember when creating a custom filter, first add to the available filters and then drop it into the ACTIVE to apply the filter.
