        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?

            Jul 18 07:34:41 php: /packages/strikeback/strikeback.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/iplog start' returned exit code '127', the output was '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/iplog: not found'
            Jul 18 07:34:41 php: /packages/strikeback/strikeback.php: The command 'rm /usr/local/etc/rc.d/iplog-e' returned exit code '1', the output was 'rm: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/iplog-e: No such file or directory'
            Jul 18 07:34:41 php: /packages/strikeback/strikeback.php: The command '/usr/bin/sed -i -e 's/iplog_enable="NO"/iplog_enable="YES"/g' /usr/local/etc/rc.d/iplog' returned exit code '1', the output was 'sed: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/iplog: No such file or directory'

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

            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.

                      not to hijack this thread, but I remember testing this package a couple of months ago and remember that iplog wouldn't auto-start on a reboot… Was this fix or is it still the case?

                        You're not hijacking at all. You are right about the auto start. That item is now on my to-do list.

                          looking at my notes, i used this to auto start it i believe /usr/local/etc/rc.d/iplog.sh

                            overwriting the current iplog file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/iplog will break the script. I'm working on an update now to solve this issue.

                              I like this. Thanks for releasing!

                              Just a small bug report, there is a typo "Stikeback" under the Services tab.

                                          So if I spoofed my IP address during scanning to say be some military or government IP I can have you port scanning away in "response"? I am sure they would like that. Portscan detections are also notoriously unreliable as they are prone to false positive events.

                                          I think detection is fine and then silently blocking if so desired but no revenge strikes. What would you do after port scanning someone? Go hunting for vulnerabilities to take your revenge on them? I think snort's sfportscan preprocessor may be better for detection. All it does it:
                                          a) leaves you open to manipulation to portscan sensitive places in response
                                          b) reveals yourself to the attacker (unlike a nice silent drop)
                                          c) If it was a hacker (script kiddies get detected would perhaps be caught by this, pros no) and they saw you portscanning them they may be encouraged to seek revenge.
