Crowdsec finally comming to pfSense
-
What is so great about Crowdsec? Is this the same company that Blackrock investing purchased? Is this also the company responsible for the issue with windows updates? Is this part of Solarwinds and the security issues they had and or Fire eye?
Long story short what improves within pfSense with this software? Azure use? Cloud platform?
What’s the background with this company? Is it a subsidiary of another company? Please also explain if Blackrock invested in this business, I tend to avoid anything that Blackrock gets involved in as they have a history of destroying companies and taking patents and other intellectual property rights away from them in the process. I have seen this a number of times with tech companies and Blackrock investments, way to much to say it is a fluke anymore.
So why use Crowdsec? Why are they not on the main repo?
Make sure to upvote

I think this video explains how it works, there is no relation with Crowdstrike.

I believe you have them mistaken with CrowdStrike.

The fact that CrowdSec is still not available in the pfSense repository says a lot. It probably suggests that there are some problems with either maintaining its code or its implementation.

Do I need to uninstall the currently installed version first? -

Also not sure what the commands are to download, untar and install since I’m pretty sure the links will change for the untarred files.

tar xvf <name of file>Install commands-
# setenv IGNORE_OSVERSION yes # pkg add -f /root/abseil-20230125.3.pkg # pkg add -f /root/re2-20240501.pkg # pkg add -f /root/crowdsec-firewall-bouncer-0.0.28_3.pkg # pkg add -f /root/crowdsec-1.6.2.pkg # pkg add -f /root/pfSense-pkg-crowdsec-0.1.3.pkgInstall whitelist-
sudo cscli parsers install crowdsecurity/whitelistsI deleted the originally installed pkg so re-registered-
sudo cscli capi registerAnd re-enrolled-
sudo cscli console enroll -e context clzeha7k80004l6087uikulpmAnd then reloaded the pkg-
sudo service crowdsec onereloadStill no crowdsec package in package manager though. Maybe that will get fixed later???

Have there been any more thoughts about including Crowdsec as an official pfSsense package?
