      ermal,

      looks like a very minor thing. I just compared the HOME_NET strings for different interfaces and in case of a modified HOME_NET there is a separator (,) missing when the modified ips/nets are added to the default settings.

      UPDATE: looks as if one of the ".=" concatenations in function snort_build_list() in snort.inc is responsible for this one.

        Also, I did notice that the ALERT DESCRIPTION field on the Snort BLOCKED (tab) is displaying N/A instead of a blank field.  Although this is an improvement, how can the functionality be restored to display the actual alert description text?  In my global settings, I have this set to FULL which is did display correctly some time ago.  Thanks.

          That means that the ip is in the table and not in the alerts file

            Fixed, update after 15 minutes and should be ok.

              If you are using an augmented home net, the interface doesn't start.

              The problem is possibly the line 105 in /usr/local/pkg/snort/snort.inc:

              $home_net .= trim($whitelist['address'])
              

              which should be replaced by

              $home_net .= trim($whitelist['address']) . ' ';

              .i.e. the concatenated string should be terminated by space (so that the array building stuff at the end of the function works properly).

                  Cino you are missing
                  include $PREPROC_RULE_PATH/preprocessor.rules
                  include $PREPROC_RULE_PATH/decoder.rules

                  Probably from issues of install reinstalling!?

                  I also fixed your issue of cronjobs.

                  For all the others having issues with blocking please whenever you have system log of 'unable to parse', get the file under the /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_$iface*/$whitelistname and post it here.

                  Also the HOME_NET issue has been fixed.

                  I still do not see the cron jobs being created.

                    neyn, you allowed for string interpolation, which is not necessary here.  ;)

                      With "Blocking" is enabled, the system still freezes. I guess it is the old ioctl problem, but I still need to verfy this.

                        Well, blocking triggers

                        snort[15653]: FATAL ERROR: s2c_pf_block() => ioctl() DIOCRADDADDRS: Inappropriate ioctl for device

                        so, currently, blocking should be disabled.

                          Also, you can still not clear alert messages for interfaces other than the first one.

                          If nobody minds, I'd like to hand in my quick&dirty solution tomorrow…

                            Also the HOME_NET issue has been fixed.

                            I removed my interface config and built a new one…they still aren't there. cron looks fixed, noticed a new cron job for a file i haven't seen before.. have to check that out. HOME_NET looks good so far... still testing

                              @miles267:

                              Also, I did notice that the ALERT DESCRIPTION field on the Snort BLOCKED (tab) is displaying N/A instead of a blank field.  Although this is an improvement, how can the functionality be restored to display the actual alert description text?  In my global settings, I have this set to FULL which is did display correctly some time ago.  Thanks.

                              That means that the ip is in the table and not in the alerts file

                              What does this mean – in the table and not in the alert file? doesn't the info in the alerts tab map to an IP listed in the BLOCKED tab?  In the past, I've always had Alert Descriptions populated with actual full details as opposed to N/A or blank.  Please elaborate for education.  Thanks.

                                Getting this on AMD64 2.0.1 with a clean install of 2.4.2:

                                Snort exits on this.

                                If I uncheck a few .so rules (love the new categories interface!) Snort will start.  Is this by design?

                                    All that are expiriencing this ioctl issue can confirm that are on 2.1?

                                      Can you post your config dwood?
                                      Also does this happen if you start/stop snort or just on a restart after update?

                                        Updated snort to Snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.4.2

                                        Interface looks good!

                                        It is working fine. But when I start snort, I get this message in System Logs.

                                        Is it ok?

                                        Always trying to learn!!

                                          I think that line about DAQ has been there for a long long time. It should still work just fine.

                                            I did a complete reinstall of snort (10min ago) and i have the same error of my last post.
