    I have struggled with the log sizes getting too big and then the web pages refusing to list things on them (alerts/blocks pages show empty in UI). Clearing the logs manually instantly fixes the UI issue. I think the problem is the fact that logs can grow quite quickly and that relying on the log rotation can lead to a (very minimal) denial of service type event. I've thought about mucking with how often it rotates but as long as I'm not being legit DDOS'd it is just a nuisance. Suricata still clearly works. The firewall itself clearly works. The only real problem is UI issues when attempting to do a real investigation or troubleshoot. One can work around that manually. Of course somebody will simply say turn suricata off on the external interface. No. Occasionally good research happens there.

    @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.

    @finalcut: squidguard(web filtering) work with squid3 (as poxy) after you install squidguard and choose which to block and which allow you should then save then go to the first tab of squidguard and click apply and then save from squid3 you must add the allowed subnet for example 192.168.1.0/24 in addition to choose lan interface and 3128 as port also there is tow type of proxy non-transparent (you should add the ip and the port in each browser(firefox it be or any other flavor ) for user transparent you shouldn't add the ip and port in the browser but you choose it from squid configuration Cheers will test it soon.

    Setting up Bind

    If you turn on DNS to listen on WAN, then you want to hide version as precaution to avoid targeted attacks. This would make it easier for attackers to figure out what your BIND is vulnerable to if vulnerable based on version number. I recommend only listen on your internal networks. You don't want to expose your internal zones to the internet and/or get flooded by people using your DNS server. Notify is used if your BIND is the primary DNS server and you have slave DNS servers configured in Zone(s). If notify is enabled, it will immediately notify the slave servers when changes occur to the zone(s). This will help keep your DNS servers in sync quicker. You will only need this if you are setting up DNS zones.

    @spudy12: Ah okay so it's nothing to worry about? I just assumed as it was sending an alert it was something that was not good (to much of that with my NAS lately) Also my Alert list is being spammed with (http_inspect) UNKNOWN METHOD Is there anyway to limit the number of these logged or turn it off altogether? Cheers! The cron e-mail is a never-mind.  Just spam.  I will see if I can get rid of in an upcoming update. As for the http_inspect alert, those are very common.  So common, in fact, that I wonder why the rule authors even keep them in their packages.  But since they do, my advice is either disable the rule or suppress it.  A suppressed rule still "fires", but Snort eats the alert.  A disabled rule never wastes CPU time being used to inspect against traffic, since disabled rules are not loaded.  Which to use is your call as admin.  I have chosen to disable the rule.  You can do that either on the RULES tab by selecting Preprocessor Rules in the drop-down, or (easier method) find the alert on the ALERTS tab display and click the red X icon to add the rule to the forced disabled list.

    Suricata 2.0.3 pkg v2.0.1 Update – Release Notes

    The promised bug fix update for Suricata has been posted.  I started a new thread with those Release Notes.  The update to package version 2.0.2 from 2.0.1 addresses the bugs identified in this thread.  All are fixed except one, which is not actually a bug.  The Suricata Dashboard Widget will remember which column it was in when the package is uninstalled and reinstalled, but it will always position itself at the bottom of that column.  This happens because when Suricata is removed, the Dashboard Widget must also be removed or errors will result from missing files.  A package upgrade on pfSense actually performs an uninstall and then reinstall.  So the Dashboard Widget is removed during the uninstall step and then reinstalled when the package is.  However, it is not possible for the widget to position itself back exactly where it was before.  It will go to the bottom of the column where it was previously located.

    I know this is an old thread but I though this would be a good topic to bring back from the dead since it is the first result in Google.  Could we use something similar to what is suggested at http://www.zeroshell.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1916.  This is the pertinent part: Step 0 - Disable your HAVP proxy using the GUI, in the case it is currently enabled. Step 1 - (Ignore) Step 2 - The following command have to be both executed in the Zeroshell's shell AND added to your pre-boot scripts (through the Zeroshell's GUI):     > mount -omand,noatime,uid=havp,gid=havp,size=50m -ttmpfs none /Database/var/register/system/havp/tmp Step 3 - Re-enable your HAVP proxy using the GUI.

    ilvipero, Sorry for the delay in replying.  The package doesn't cache the domain.  It caches the IP address of the sending server. The postscreen cache (where previously seen IPs are stored)  is held in /var/db/postfix/postscreen_cache.db A reboot should not affect that - I've even backed it up and restored it to a fresh install. You can see what IPs are in there with postmap -s btree:/var/db/postfix/postscreen_cache Are you running an embedded install of pfSense?

    @highlandpeak: Bill, Thanks for the hard work. BAM If your configuration is still muddled up and giving you problems, send me a PM and I will work with you offline to get it fixed.  Essentially what was happening to you is the Snort PHP code was getting confused by the duplicate UUIDs for different interfaces and wound up trying to "start" the wrong one (one that is already started).  That's why one of your interfaces was giving a SOFT RESTART notice.  Its UUID matched one of your earlier configured interfaces (most likely the one it was cloned from).  Snort uses that UUID to differentiate interface instances.

    Snort & Barnyard2 Logging to mySQL - Bug in config file when name contains space

    @Grandmaster: No problem at all Bill. Thanks for all the work. Normally I'd not use spaces for exactly this sort of reason but for some reason my thumbs took over on this one and typed a space - The thumbs have been duly admonished, put back in their box and I am now using a sensor name without a space and typing with only eight fingers. But as it got me scratching my head I thought I'd report it as a bug in case another person also has rogue thumbs or it crops up in some other manner. Cheers James I just tested and Barnyard2 itself won't honor any spaces in the config file (even when the string containing them is quoted).  So I added validation logic to the SAVE code that checks for spaces in the Sensor Name and throws a validation error if any are found.  I was able to sneak this fix into the current Suricata update that is under review by the pfSense developer team.  I will also add it to the next Snort update. Again, thank you for the report. Bill
