    <description>&lt;pre&gt;I understand what you are saying, and in theory it can certainly
provide some insight into attacks against what it is that "you" are
"trying" to "protect".. that said.. why are you even allowing mysql
from the outside in your example, seems like a bad practice in the
first place, this is the kind of thing that generic firewalls and
logging thereof are for, no?  That type of thing notwithstanding, if
you can turn on more rules and look at traffic that may be "real"
attack traffic against things that "you" "don't" have, and still be
able to manage your alert volume, then more power to ya, I say if it
works for you then stick with it.. certainly not my methodology though
and I don't see how it's scalable in an environment with significant
traffic volume and a potentially large attack surface.

agreed...


that's a bad thing? if "you" attempt to see if "i" have mysql accessible from 
the outside by trying to throw an attack at it, "i" want you blocked... 
period... even if "i" never use mysql ever... the same statement applies if 
"you" throw wordpress hacks at my network and "i'm" not running any dynamic 
pages at all... or VOIP SIP scans... or SOLARIS telnet buffer overruns... etc...

"you" tried something dirty... that's all the proof needed in my book... 
watching only for traffic that might affect the stuff you do run is allowing a 
whole mash of other unnecessary traffic into your network that is attempting to 
attack stuff you don't run... why allow any bad traffic at all? would you like 
someone to test your house/apartment front door all the time every day to see if 
it is unlocked or would you do something about it? ;)

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Snort can read pcap files directly.

snort -c /etc/snort/conf -r &amp;lt;file.pcap&amp;gt;

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Sounds complicated :)

Couldn't he just feed the pcap directly to snort:

snort -r &amp;lt;file.pcap&amp;gt; ?

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Sandip,

I have only used it in Linux and Mac OSX. I have to confess that I haven't
used Windows as my primary workstation for over six years and am not
familiar with current tools for it. The website mentions Cygwin, which if I
remember correctly creates a Linux-like environment for Windows. So you're
pretty much back to square one.

If there are other users on the list who are more knowledgable regarding
Windows and available tcpreplay-like utilities, please chime in.

Regarding installation instructions, installing from source is pretty much
the same as any package:

   - tar -zxvf tcpreplay-3.x.x.tar.gz
   - cd tcpreplay-3.x.x
   - ./configure &amp;amp;&amp;amp; make &amp;amp;&amp;amp; make install

If you run Debian or Ubuntu, you can use apt-get. Most RPM based distro's
should have tcpreplay. (blatantly plagiarizing from the website).

To quote Marty Roesch "Learn to use Linux. Like eating your broccoli, it's
good for you." A really good start would be to download a Snort set up doc
for Ubuntu or CentOS and follow it through. David Gullet has done a much
better job than I on keeping up with current releases with his Ubuntu doc.

Happy Snorting!

Nick

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi All,

I want to test snort using large packets.
I started wireshark and started to capture traffic. I am planning to save .pcap file and load it into a system running snort.
My question is how can I load .pcap or wireshark file to that system?
Is there any tool?

Is there any other method to test it?


Regards,
Sandip Bankewar

    <title>Daemonlogger native package now in OpenWRT trunk!</title>
    <link>http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.ids.snort.general/36711</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;My patch for building Daemonlogger as a native OpenWRT package has been 
accepted into the mainline distribution and committed to trunk. 
Pre-built binary packages are now available for all supported 
architectures in the nightly snapshots tree.

Unfortunately these packages only work on the latest trunk firmware 
builds at the moment, and the 3.2 kernel along with the extra software 
included in these builds does not leave enough free JFFS space or usable 
RAM to run daemonlogger effectively. I'm trying to convince the 
developers to include this in the next stable release of Backfire 
(10.03.2) based on the 2.6 kernel, but no luck yet.

For the time being you can still grab my binary package from my GitHub 
repository. This one *does* install and run cleanly on the current 
stable version of Backfire (10.03.1).

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Tune that system.. I can fairly safely assume that if you have 20,000
rules enabled, you are looking for attacks against stuff that you
don't have.

Have the watching app look for specific things...perhaps only certain
classifications ("A Network Trojan was Detected") or something of the
like.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Something else: suppose I use logsurfer/swatch/logwatch to alert in
real time the Snorts events. Actually I have near 5 events per minute.

What is the criteria to take just a few number of critical events of
Snort ??? Because I have 20.000 signatures...

Log to fast alert then use wots/logsurfer/logwatch to tail/watch the
file and email out.  Assuming linux/BSD/OSX.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Dear, I have a Snort 2.9 with Base running OK, but I need a real time
alerting mechanism via email if possible.

How can I do that ??? Any extra module to use in that way ???

Special thanks

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Good plan. Power supplies always go; it is not a question of if, it is a 
question of when..
As a back of the envelope calculation. If you use PF_RING (to run 3-4 
snort processes in parallel on you 3-4 hyperthreads), roughly, you will 
be able to monitor 100-300 Mbps with ~6000 rules.
See www.*snort*.org/assets/186/*PF_RING*_*Snort*_Inline_Instructions.pdf
You are smart.. Internal monitoring can be challenging because of the 
rule tuning required; but it is also very important in my opinion. Today 
smart phones/ laptops traverse firewalls every day; so perimeter 
defenses are getting obsolete.. You are going to need a good event 
management system..

Agreed.  I keep a tight restriction even on our sales dept about advertising via the lists or information from the lists.

I am going to make the option available to Snort users who want to hear more about Sourcefire products.  But it will never be via the mailing lists.

Of course.  Lots of companies use Snort and the VRT Integrator License to put our product on their hardware.  It all depends on how they are using it.



Safemedia contacted me this morning and let me know that it was an overzealous sales person who was not aware of the policy.  They assured me it won't happen again.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Either call your test.rule from snort.conf with an include statement, or place the contents of your test.rule in the bottom of snort.conf

I recommend the first option.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Ah.... That would make sense.  So then I can't consider my rules to be additive to what's in snort.conf already.  Bummer.....

Any way around that?  I'd rather not place any configs in snort.conf.

Looks like the conf you are telling snort to use is /tmp/test.rule which, per your cat output, does not include the stream5 config, etc.

Very new to snort.

I seem to be having some issues with getting Stream5 support up and running.  Here is the rule:

[root&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;hostname]# cat /tmp/test.rule
log tcp any any -&amp;gt;  xx.xx.xx.xx/29 23

)

Using the following options to startup:

snort -d -i eth0 -c /tmp/test.rule -l /tmp/log

Produces a nasty error:
