          Does hardware offloading still need to be disabled?

            @bmeeks May i ask if i can use this sample format?

            The categories shown below will have all rules changed from "alert" to "drop"

            etpro-dns,etpro-botcc,etpro-malware,etpro-tor,etpro-trojan

            1:2181,1:2180,1:2016662,1:2008581,1:16282,1:2012247,1:2008585,1:16282,1:2010144,1:2016662,1:2102180,1:2011706,1:2102181

              Yes, but you will need to note that first sentence as a "comment" by adding a pound sign ("#") at the front of the line.

              Otherwise you should be good. I can't 100% remember if the logic will accept the commas between category names, or if it prefers each category to be listed on a separate line. You can try it and see. When you save the change and apply the SID management rules logic, you can check the corresponding log under the LOGS VIEW tab. I believe the log file is called sid_changes.log (or something similar). In that log Suricata will summarize what actions were taken on SID Management conf files.

                I follow your steps by steps. its a little bit tricky but at the end i think its working. my format in dropsid.conf is:

                1:2181,1:2180,1:2016662,1:2008581,1:16282,1:2012247,1:2008585,1:16282,1:2010144,1:2016662,1:2102180,1:2011706,1:2102181

                Only...

                Those signatures are list of torrents which is very annoying in my network. My neighbor is taking all the bandwidth. And now its fair for all users :)

                Thank you very much sir, its a big help for us

                FYI: I just enable the Enable Automatic SID State Management
                and the SID state order is disable, enable
                Drop SID list i select my dropSID.conf
                and others selection is none.

                Im using legacy mode only because my pfsense hang when i select inline mode with checking the tick box Block On DROP Only

                Hope it help also for some other people.

                  @bmeeks I honestly don't know why stuff like this isn't enabled from the get go, having to uncomment lines and tweak packages after the fact is a pain, as with all things there never is a baseline which really sucks

                    What are you talking about? What should be enabled "from the get to"?

                      @bmeeks Get go* the sample.conf files shouldn't have #comments and should just be enabled

                        The comments are there to be instructive so the admin can see how to customize their rules. The whole purpose of that tab is to allow customization of rules depending upon the network environment.

                        I am still not understanding what you are asking for. With an IDS/IPS, there is no one-size-fits-all setup. That's why a lot of experience and knowledge about threats and exposures is required in order to be a qualified IDS/IPS administrator. You pick and choose the rules using knowledge of the specific exposures/vulnerabilities present in your individual network.
