      What does strikeback do?  Fire off the LOIC at source IP?  ;D

      :), no. Just like the sidewinder series firewalls are capable of a strikeback, pfsense is now among the few. Sidewinder originally implemented that feature because corporations wanted options when it came to being scanned. pfsense is becoming more and more of a viable solution for corporations. Adding this feature just narrows the gap between pfsense and other solutions out there.

      With forensic analytics becoming more significant, and even responses like trace backs, other automated forensics, and reporting, I have enabled pfsense to continue to be on the edge giving the end user or corporation more options that may be parallel with their security requirements.

      In other words this package gives you the user more power while making pfsense a competitive platform to other firewall vendors.

                This do look really nice, but i can not get this packet to work.
                Have tried to get it to run on two different systems but end up with the same error  ???  ???

                Here is the errors i get on both boxes:
                Jul 17 18:37:00 php: /packages/strikeback/strikeback.php: The command 'rm /var/log/iplog' returned exit code '1', the output was 'rm: /var/log/iplog: No such file or directory'
                Jul 17 18:37:00 php: /packages/strikeback/strikeback.php: The command 'mkdir /var/run/iplog' returned exit code '1', the output was 'mkdir: /var/run/iplog: File exists'
                Jul 17 18:36:59 php: /packages/strikeback/strikeback.php: The command 'rm /usr/local/www/packages/strikeback/ENABLED' returned exit code '1', the output was 'rm: /usr/local/www/packages/strikeback/ENABLED: No such file or directory'

                Any pointers to get this to work, is much appreciated  ;D

                  You have to click on CLEAR LOG and then when it refreshes click on ENABLE strikeback.  Not sure why when I click on clear log it disables strikeback.  I guess to release the logfile lock so it can clear it.

                  This will work just fine until the reboot which you have to do that again.  It's a first release so give him time to address it.  Pretty cool package tho!

                        Should not need to restart, just click pfsense logo to reload webgui and the it should be under services

                          Hi Everyone  and tommyboy180, i found the problem for this and it looks like you can not use Opera Browser 11.5 to activate strickback, when i tried to use other browser it works fin.  Strange one, anyone else that can confirm this????

                            Ok same problem as other guy, using firefox – WTF would the browser have to do with system not finding stuff?

                            I pushed the clear log a few times, and sure enough it removes the enabled checkbox.

                                Don't get me wrong, I completely understand its .1 – looking forward to working out the bugs with you, etc.

                                Just letting you know getting the same error as other guy.  If you want me to try doing it with IE, or any other browser just let me know.  But it makes NO sense at all that browser would have anything to do with system reporting it can not find stuff.

                                Ok tried with IE9, Opera 11, Chrome, Firefox and Safari -- all the same thing, those errors in the system log.  You have some other browser you would like me to try it with ;)

                                  Hi,

                                  sorry for asking this:
                                  I cannot find this package in package manager. I am using amd64. is this only available for 386?

                                    Quick fix to get Strikeback running is to:

                                    1. Install Strikeback from the package manager
                                    2. pkg_add -r iplog
                                    3. Edit /usr/local/etc/iplog.conf and change the user from iplog to root
                                    4. Enable Strikeback from the UI

                                      All those things should be done automatically.

                                      During the install process pkg_add -r iplog is ran. The username is also changed to root (you can also do this via the GUI).
                                      The only thing that I can think of is that when the pkg_add command is ran the command doesn't install iplog due to the freeBSD repo not being contacted or the connection being interrupted.

                                      I will be able to look into this more tomorrow.

                                        Also I had to manually add nmap .. it didn't pull it in for whatever reason

                                          That means the FreeBSD repo is un-reliable. I'll look into other options.

                                            I finished my testing. The package is working correctly.

                                            First thing new users should do it go to the setting page and click save. This will overwrite the config file.
                                            Next go back to the main strikeback page, Check enable, and click save. I tested on the latest version of RC3.

                                            I didn't run into any issue while testing.
