Snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.5.0 Issues

He did exactly what i wanted to do.
I corrected some issues on his code with the latest fixes mostly for preventing foot-shooting during update.

It just misses to select rules based on enabled preprocessors and it should be fairly stable in that regard.

I just pushed a patch to silence the damn snort with its thousands log entries during startup and left just the error/fatal messages.
When it gets recompiled it would be easier to even read syslog and the errors of the pacakge.

Thanks Ermal! Much appreciated :)

Great work both of you!

Thanks Ermal

I see the 2.5.4 available, but there are commits after this, will the version bump again when you get it recompiled or every commit generate a new package?

NAh i just pushed the last one which should be it.
I do not plan on committing more on it for now.

Wow thanks for the quick responses. I will grab the update and give it a shot. You guys are awesome!

Ermal's fix and mine passed each other in cyberspace on the way to the servers… ;D

Hopefully the Snort package will be stable for all now with the new features for flowbit resolution and the ability to use Snort VRT pre-defined policies if you want to. The pre-defined policy feature can be very useful to new Snort users, or even casual users, who just want some basic protection. You can enable either the Connectivity or Balanced policy, and then just sort of let it run.

A big shout-out to Ermal for responding quickly and fixing the nasty bug in the rules update. That one got introduced a little over a day ago while adding some robust error checking to the code.

Thanks so much for this! It was annoying to have the sys log fill every restart.

Snort will no longer start: (I changed the IP's below with the asterisks)
Looks like there is no subnet set for the IPv6 address.

Updated snort today, now it does not start. Error is…

snort[4286]: FATAL ERROR: Failed to load /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules/bad-traffic.so: /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules/bad-traffic.so: Undefined symbol "freeRuleData"

I disabled the bad traffic rules (so and non so) and it still fails to start. reinstalled package again, and no go.. Was working for quite a while. Had not updated for a month, but thought from the thread here that it was stable.

Just went for a re-install of Snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.5.4 ::)

No luck

Remove , install, update rules and it started ok

Is there a 'requirement' to have a re-install button? ???
I could live without it ;D

Why does the package reinstall doesnt work, but the package delete- reinstall does?

eri-- · Jan 27, 2013, 9:33 AM

It should work after updating to 2.5.4 previously it was removing some files that were not being restored after an update.
There is some resolution missing for enabled disabled preprocessors.

After you get it running it will run ok.
I will have to find some time to get back to solve this last bits and making it less error prone to this install/reinstall and using rules when the preprocessor is not active but for now you just have to find the preprocessors needed and activate them.

So far I havent had any issues with the updated version. I am guessing the auto update worked fine as snort was still running this morning. I dont see any snort reload items in system log. (to be expected with the verbose items being turned off) Not sure if there is a way to find a good compromise of leaving all the other stuff off but still showing with the update runs and if its successful.

Thanks again for the quick fixes on the problems yesterday.

@tester_02:

Updated snort today, now it does not start. Error is…

snort[4286]: FATAL ERROR: Failed to load /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules/bad-traffic.so: /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules/bad-traffic.so: Undefined symbol "freeRuleData"

I disabled the bad traffic rules (so and non so) and it still fails to start. reinstalled package again, and no go.. Was working for quite a while. Had not updated for a month, but thought from the thread here that it was stable.

I got this too. I had to delete snort, do a find all for snort and remove everything until nothing was returned. Then i reinstalled snort and configured. So far so good!

Normally you should have the logs from the update process itself.
Something like "Starting with your new set of rules…."

kilthro · Jan 27, 2013, 4:44 PM

I dont see this in the system log. When I go to the updated tab in snort the view updates log button doesnt do anything when clicked. I did a manual update and did see this in the sys log
Jan 27 11:49:12 php: /snort/snort_download_rules.php: The Rules update has finished…
Jan 27 11:49:12 php: /snort/snort_download_rules.php: Emerging threat rules are up to date...
Jan 27 11:49:12 php: /snort/snort_download_rules.php: Snort rules are up to date...
So i am guessing if the auto update ran I should see something similar? I do not see anything like this around midnight when the update generally runs.

Having issues with the latest snort package as well. Initial update killed the package. Uninstalled, did a reboot and reinstalled to make it work. But now the problem is with every reboot snort fails again. As long as its up after reinstall it works. Upon a reboot snort fails and only way to make it work is to uninstall, reboot and reinstall… till the next reboot.

Supermule · Jan 27, 2013, 5:49 PM

Dont get that error on reboot, but still a shit load of Snort related load messages in the systemlogs….

eri-- · Jan 27, 2013, 6:08 PM

You need to reinstall supermule or you have issues.
It will only print fatal/errors as i said now. Those things need some attention.

asterix
i need mor einfo rather than not just starting!

Supermule · Jan 27, 2013, 6:14 PM

Its running fine here Ermal and survives the reboot.

Wont reinstall if it makes snort crash…
