Snort: how to exclude a lan host from scans?
-
How can I exclude a particular host on my lan from all Snort scans?
I run an offsite backup server behind Pfsense and simultaneously have hundreds of clients connecting to it but also simultaneously get hundreds of false positives for a multitude of Snort rules because of the nature of the data being transmitted.
i would like to keep my ruleset functioning for all other hosts behind pfsense except this particular hosts. How can this be acheived?
I tried creating Whitelists and Netlists etc but nothing seems to be doing the trick.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Bump.
Anyone got any suggestions on this?

After creating a whitelist, you have to add it in the Snort Interface Settings to a particular interface.
