Snort problem

[lordarcane]

Hey!

Snort up and running again.

Running pfsense 1.2.2

ReInstalled snort package, downloaded the rules.
Had to save the rules before I could start snort, otherwise it said unable to load the rules.

Thanks for all the hard work!

@jamesdean:

Thanx serialdie, Hugovsky. Your type of peple I'm doing this for. Send mony to the pfsense core developers so they can buy me a mini-itx.

–------------------------------
Added today

Updates work again.
"when did I last download, time stamps info" (just started)

---

Adding latter today. If I have time.

Rules backup option. you will need 180 megs for this.
Alerts to system log. (Requested don't know why.)
RSS feeds.

If there is any one here in the forums that is a Premium snort rules user, Please email me.

James,

Please check your pm.

Also if you need hardware for development I have no problem getting you an Alix Board… Unless you really need a Mini-ITX than I can look in to the Mini-ITX form factor but I would prefer donating a Brand new Alix board to you. If interested please PM.
Somebody else can pitch in the rest of the hardware??

Take Care!

jamesdean,

HAHAHAHA Nice!!!
Any info on the new update?
I am waiting on the PM so I can send you the board as promise.

Thank You!

[serialdie]

James,

Is
snort-2.8.4.1 the latest pkg you build?

Thats the pkg I am getting when I go under System: Package Manager: Install Package: Reinstall Package

[serialdie]

Ok thanks…

Right now I am not able to start Snort at all after the update... Since the update is broken it does not want to start....

By the way enjoy your new board. Ailx Boards are awesome and they get the job done. Hopefully it fits well for your snort coding.

The downloaded file does not match the md5 file…

Cool!

[serialdie]

James,

I got you PM's… If there anything I can do to help please let me know!

[serialdie]

Update:

I just re install the package and as a premium user I was able to update with no problems… Is right now extracting the files.

Update:

I still have the issue where it hangs when copying the signatures. Looks like the pkg got reverted to the previous one?
After a reboot the snorts starts ok and starts working again. :)

I reinstalled the package today to make shure every thing works. Nothing hung or failed.
The script is copying 15000 files so its going to take some time on your system spec.
Im going to try a "move" instead of a "copy" to reduce system load. If a move does not reduce the system load, Im going to make an option of the "signatures description files".

Though I need those signature description files to be installed so I can add a tab that looks up the discription of alerts.

Thanks without your help I would never be able to resove thses final hang ups.

Dont try to install the package again im still adding features and I dont want to kill your flash card.

[serialdie]

Got it!

Thank you very much for all your effort and help!
