SNORT - 2.9.1 pkg v. 2.0.2 - Specific Threat Issue

genic

will there be a fix where you dont have to edit the .conf ? …i DID have all my 'servers' defined in the ....uhhh 'define servers' ....the bam...snort hit a bad rail and bummed itself stupid.

i dont mind editing the .conf ...but it would be nice for a person who doesnt really know what they are doing and just work...right? just imo :-X

@Cino:

the advance will add it to your /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_xxxxx_xxx/snort.conf

@Ulich05:

adding:
portvar FILE_DATA_PORTS [$HTTP_PORTS,110,143]
to the advanced config section does solve the problem

Thanks, this worked for me also :)

Gents,

Having an issue with the listed fix. When I add portvar FILE_DATA_PORTS [$HTTP_PORTS,110,143] to /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_51441_em0/snort.conf. When I save the file, and then immediately reopen it the new line is there. When I start snort I get the same error in the logs, and when I look at the conf again, the line is removed. I have uninstalled and re installed snort, but I get the same issue. Any ideas?

You have to put this config on gui, not in conf file.

adding:
portvar FILE_DATA_PORTS [$HTTP_PORTS,110,143]
to the advanced config section does solve the problem

New issue seems to have come up.

The fix above works….however, I no longer receive any alerts in the Alerts tab (yes alerts are enabled) and I'm not sure it's blocking offenders.

If I use GRC.com's ShieldsUp! yes, it will detect that and block it.

Now, FWIW, I recently installed and configured pfBlocker and am having it block a few countries that used to show up in my logs a lot. Perhaps that's why I am seeing a lot less offenders being blocked? I suppose that makes sense. But, the fact that I no longer see Alerts is odd.

Just curious of anyone who implemented the above fix noticed this?

Thanks!
