Snort 2.9.1 pkg v. 2.1.1 Error.
-
Strange.. my rules are updated…
SNORT.ORG >>> "b7469cefc799ed158d2a483ed2cf689a"
EMERGINGTHREATS.NET >>> 014686a49ac68a7d90d9be60b5db93bc
PFSENSE.ORG >>> "e8a95fd5f1b40e878fedeffd585134bb"yeah, the rules will update; but did snort start?
Snort 2.9.1 v. pkg 2.1 is hardcoded into the code i believe, it wasn't updated.. only binaries from what i can tell.
P.S line 40 in /usr/usr/local/snort/snort.inc would need to be changed for the version number

Cino,
I try start snort.. but the error is:
snort[15802]: FATAL ERROR: ByteExtract variable '^Authorization\x3A\s*Basic[ \t]+' in rule [3:13308] is used before it is defined.
-
snort[56806]: FATAL ERROR: ByteExtract variable '^Authorization\x3A\s*Basic[ \t]+' in rule [3:13308] is used before it is defined.
Updated to latest ruleset same error.
-
Using only Emmerging Threads rules…
-
Solved.
I remove and delete all Snort entries on pfSense (find / -name snort)
After that all work perfectly.
Barnyard2 downloaded manually of course.
Thanks,

Solved . Snort Interfaces > e (edit interface) > Categories …. now here first try to uncheck all of you ruleset and then try to start you snort. After that you can "check" and enable Ruleset from Category tab ... but Attention !!! with some of ruleset snort will not start. So my advice is .. "check" and enable a ruleset, restart snort to see if works (start)... and so on .
Srry for my language
Best Regards

Just tried install on snort, it works now

having the same #3 error "FATAL ERROR: ByteExtract variable '^Authorization\x3A\s*Basic[ \t]+' in rule [3:13308] is used before it is defined." having all rules unchecked
-
having the same #3 error "FATAL ERROR: ByteExtract variable '^Authorization\x3A\s*Basic[ \t]+' in rule [3:13308] is used before it is defined." having all rules unchecked
I had the same error and had to delete the contents of /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules. After that everything seemed fine and all my rules seem to work.
-
Thanks DigitalDeviant that worked nicely.
-
I use ony Emmerging Rules and snort works fine… until this bug will be fixed.
Best Regards

there were some changes made to the snort package to remove anything that was left behind… I did a reinstall and was able to download snorts ruleset and start a few up with no issues... I didn't check every rule since I only use a handful.
-
try reinstalling now… looks like it is fixed

This works provided you're only using EMERGING rule set. Is there a fix that enables you to also use SNORT rules?

Solved this by disabling all rules in snort_web-misc.so.rules category - EVEN THOUGH THIS CATEGORY WAS UNCHECKED IN CATEGORIES SCREEN. I thought that only rules from checked categories were enabled. Am I missing something, besides an illogical brain?
Update: Error reappeared after 12+ hours. No solution yet!

It was running fine, until I updated today to last snapshot.
Now it won't start anymore, please check it out.

Here is the problem:
Jun 12 13:20:43 snort[26817]: FATAL ERROR: parser.c(5245) Could not stat dynamic module path "/usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicpreprocessor": No such file or directory.
Jun 12 13:20:43 snort[26817]: FATAL ERROR: parser.c(5245) Could not stat dynamic module path "/usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicpreprocessor": No such file or directory. -
I uninstalled, re-installed, tried:
1.) ln -s /lib/libpcap.so.7 /lib/libpcap.so.1
2.) ln -s /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicpreprocessor /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor
3.) ln -s /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicengine /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicengine
4.) ln -s /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules
5.) manually update the Snort rules.
6.) touch /usr/local/etc/snort/rules/local.rulesDisabled everything on "Preprocessors" tab, nothing!
It refuses to run, this problem just "popped" today from last snapshot update. :(
