Snort not working for me (again)
-
Probably, however what I don't understand is how it's picking up an incorrect setting in the first place
I'll try your suggestion later
-
OK, this is the line in my snort.conf :
var HOME_NET [192.168.1.0/24,/32,86.3.142.145,192.168.1.2,,]
however if I remove the ,/32, the file gets recreated when I save snort config and overwrites any changes I make :(
any ideas?
I can post the entire snort.conf file and the startup logs if it helps?
There is another warning in the snort starup log though :
snort[13576]: WARNING /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf(36) => flush_behavior set in config file, using old static flushpoints (0)Does that shed any light?
-
Do you remember if you recently updated your snort rules before you started having troubles?
-
The rules were updated, BUT so was my entire machine, I changed to the 19th's image (cos of the lovely new look gui!) and reinstalled from scratch, everything was upgraded
-
I'm not sure why, but I have problems starting snort when I have web-misc category checked. If you have that ruleset enabled, try disabling it and see if Snort will start up.

Not ticked, could this thread shed any light (or at least point to the fact that there's something odd going on with the HOME_NET line?) : http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3427.0.html

No, because that has already been fixed.
-
Has it?? What snapshot was it fixed in?

Those files do not reside in a snapshot. They are on the server… Its a package file, not a base file.

OK, found and fixed the problem.
If you have a wireless connection (opt1) bridged with LAN and you leave the IP address blank in the IP configuration box on the opt1 interface it causes the problems I was having.
You have to un-bridge the connection put a (fake?) ip address in and then re-bridge the connection.
That seems to fix it, although I need to give it a proper test
