    I am new to using Snort in a Netgate router with pfSense. In the Snort settings under alerts I am seeing notice like this: 2025-09-08 16:34:17 1 UDP Attempted User Privilege Gain 37.60.141.158 47167 195.252.###.### 9034 1:58853 SERVER-OTHER RealTek UDPServer command injection attempt Does this mean that someone from 37.60.141.158 tried to login to my router or is trying to log in to my router? Does SNORT block this attempt? or How do I block this attempt? There is nothing showing up in my BLOCKED list. Will snort ONLY block these IP's if I have "Block Offenders" checked? If yes, should I use legacy mode or inline mode? My understanding is that if I use legacy mode all rules will be enabled and any alerts will be automatically blocked right? If I use inline mode, then NO rules will be automatically blocked and I would have to enable the action for that rule for it to be blocked, right? If I use inline mode, how do I enable a rule? Right now I just have a yellow triangle under the action for this rule. How do I know which rules is snort using? Under WAN Categories, If I choose balance, NONE of the rulesets (Categories) shown at the bottom are checked? Here is another alert that I m wondering about: 2025-09-08 08:38:21 3 Generic Protocol Command Decode 97.78.###.### 24.172.###.### 123:8 (spp_frag3) Fragmentation overlap The source IP 97.78.###.### is my main office IP address and the Destination IP 24.172.###.### is my branch office. I'm not sure what this is and I definitely don't want this data being blocked by SNORT, so would this be a good reason to NOT use legacy mode in the Blocked Offenders section?

    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @BiloxiGeek said in DNSBL and IPv6: Does it just follow the IPv4 address that is listed above that? In my case it would end up being ::10.0.0.86 Yes. In this specific context that's the notation being used. (Full IPv6 web server address, for reference then, would be: http://[0000:0000:0000:0000:0010:0000:0000:0086]) Nota bene: I use 0.0.0.0 which renders the DNSBL webserver useless and inaccessible, but otherwise returns 0.0.0.0 or ::/NOERROR answers to all blocked lookups.

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    Thanks for the report.  This is mostly due to squid not being configured as of yet.  However it needs to be fixed.  I'll fix it soon.

    does it really hard to implement a package for PFsense that would gather and count users trafic statistics and block them or rule-based basis? i remember, somewhere on this site i have read something like "pfsense is for those, who dont need to know how it works, but understand what is he/she wants"

    Squid package requests : Support for URL RegExp ACLs, so that we can block dangerous file extensions and such. Support for any type of ACL's? maybe just have a 'add an acl' dialog =) Filtering mime types would be nice, but only very recent versions of squid offer this … this is a must in cases like JPEG vulnerabilities or massive worm outbreaks Squid log analysis/tracking package. Web usage by IP address (bandwidth/hits/history?) This may seem to be a big bigbrotherly to some, but there is definately a demand for tighter control in corporate environments. If none of them possible at the moment, what about a 'squid configuration editor' tool that would just open the 'text' version of the configuration? I would find this more confortable than having to hardcore rules in the config.xml file. Just ideas ... Thanks for the great work - -G

    I had to play with the squid configuration last month, before the GUI made it to the webConfiguration. First off, correct me if I'm wrong, but blacklisting domain names (or anything other than an IP adress for that matter) will require a RegExp match of some sort (check out the squid doc). As for losing the squid configuration, I had that problem too. Its because it is dinamically generated on boot. The 'real' permanent configuration parameters are in the config.xml file (if I remember well) … changing them there will make your changes persistent. I would really, really like to see RegExp ACL's (black & white listing) in the next squid webConfigurator interface. These filters can block dangerous file extensions, which is a must for a proxy on a security appliance. Hope this helps ...

    Did you configure it to listen on an interface? You at least need to hit save once at the config page after you selected the Interface to write the config file for darkstat.

    OK. When I try to fill that blank line instead of deleting it, the blacklist gets added just under the other ones configured and the first line is still blank. Weird indeed. I'try to use it this way and make some tests. Let you guys know if spamd misbehaves. /Exa

    @KiaN: Hmm  :o I have no dspam.conf file, only the sample ! There you go … Most packages will be installed with an accompanying sample configuration file (here: dspam.conf.sample). It should be pretty obvious, that DSPAM refuses to run, because you did not configure DSPAM (i.e. no configuration file). You NEED to configure DSPAM manually, cause there's no way for DSPAM to guess for example which DSPAM backend driver you are going to use. Please read the DSPAM README in /usr/local/share/doc/dspam to figure out how to configure DSPAM appropriately. Regards DAn.I.El S. Haischt

    There is no real problem with static ports. some consider it a bit more secure when the prts are changed while going through a nat, however this breaks the SIP protocol unless you use a STUN server or the provider has some kind of proxy to fix it again at their end. You should be fine. I also would only use the static port option for your SIP device or the SIP portrange, you can make everything else use the default port translation by adding the default rule below the special rule for the sip device.
