      Update

      This is an update to remove redundant suppressions (thanks to Bill for adding the preprocessor rules so we can disable those instead of suppressing them). Some rules added to various categories. As always there were some rules missing in action, didn't note which were those though. Snort needs an update to add commands to the IMAP recognised commands, but I didn't have time to push the list upstream to be included in Snort's code. Those lists are embedded in the code and need updating upstream. If a Snort dev notices this, please consider updating those lists.

      Don't know how much longer this list will be updated, since I'm personally waiting to migrate over to the Suricata package. As soon as the Suricata package is ready for production (hoping for full IPS functionality), this thread will stop being updated.

      In tab "Rules", under "Category" select:
      (–- means blank table at time of writing)

          Hi jflsakfja,

          Quite like your idea of disabling the rule rather than adding suppresses.

          However, if you have the time, I think it would be nice to separate things into categories.

          e.g., things "everyone" is likely to want, things required for Facebook, things required for GMail, things required for Skype, things required for downloading files, etc etc.

          Using a real scenario as an example, I want Skype to be allowed. I currently have my rules set only to log and thought I had previously allowed all Skype related rules. Today after a Skype call I came back to see hundreds of alerts for:

          1:2007637 ET TROJAN Storm Worm Encrypted Traffic Outbound - Likely Connect Ack
          1:2007635 ET TROJAN Storm Worm Encrypted Traffic Inbound - Likely Connect Ack

          (This might be something you want to add to your exception list).

          Both alerts started exactly when my Skype call started and ended exactly when my Skype call ended. This rule is only triggered by SkypeOut calls (calls from Skype to physical numbers, not Skype-to-Skype calls). SkypeOut uses port 12340, which is exactly the port that traffic was coming in on when these rules got triggered.

          Just looking at the description of the rule, I would say that anything with the name "TROJAN" on it should definitely be blocked, and if someone tells me I should unblock it without justifying it I would just leave it blocked until the alerts show me a genuine reason to unblock it. Having a list that says this is related to Skype and without it Skype will not work will give me enough confidence to enable it without needing to test it myself. It also means I then know that if I want to enable Skype I have to enable this one too, but I can quite happily leave others still enabled.

          For example, if the following two rules do exactly what their name suggests, I have no need for them since I do not use Microsoft Office Publisher:

          8478 FILE-IDENTIFY Microsoft Office Publisher file magic detected
          23714 FILE-IDENTIFY Microsoft Office Publisher file magic detected

          However, if you tell me that iPhone AppStore (crazy example) triggers that rule, I'll quite happily enable it.

          I know there is a massive amount of work involved in assigning every single rule to a category, but if that's done, it will also be a lot easier for the community to later maintain it…

          Just my two cents.

            Thought about putting a reason for disabling a particular rule next to the rule. Then sat down and thought. If a rule produces false positives, it's not a "I don't use skype (for example) so I'll leave active all rules related to skype that generate false positives" scenario, it's more of a "I don't use skype, but other persons do".
            This particular list is in use at a site that provides internet connectivity to clients, and hosts a couple of servers behind it. If something ends up on my list it's a)the rule should be removed upstream (coughsimple HTTP requestcough) b)client's requirements (stuff they use, I don't use) c)company requirements (stuff nobody but me uses, but causes a false positive). In all cases, the rule is required to be disabled, since nobody wants to get a call at 3am to get up and unblock an IP that was blocked by mistake.

            Personally I would like to see a simple explanation next to the rule for the reason why it's disabled. I would prefer it though if the false positive (or overly-paranoid rules coughsimple HTTP requestcough) get removed upstream. Rules "protecting" from 5 year vulnerabilities in a program shouldn't be used, but instead the program in question should be fixed. Yes there is the chance of a regression in a future update. I'll take my chances with that, instead of dropping connectivity at random due to false positives.
            Until all, each and every single one, of the past,present and future sysadmins, goes to work with an attitude of "I'll check for updates to software in use daily and co-operate with the community on getting bugs fixed" AND developers adopt the versioning scheme I suggested on a debian list a while back (only 2 versions for programs: stable and testing) then all kinds of these lists will be needed to "watch after" other people's mess.

            Let's take your example, for example (no pun intended). Those two rules caused an alert for something they should not produce. What the entire community is faced with is a simple choice:
            A) update the rule and fix it. If detection for that particular worm is not possible without using an NSA dragnet approach (all traffic to that port,not allowed) then that rule should be removed.
            B) leave the rule as is, and instead put additional effort into maintaining a copy of "This rule should be disabled because it's causing a false positive when you use skype".

            I'll take option A.

            Let's take my example now. SYN (first step to establishing a connection) traffic destined for an HTTP port, directed to a non-HTTP server. In my case, that particular rule is a "WTF?!? traffic directed at a web server is trying to get to a client's computer" type of reaction. This particular rule cannot produce a false positive. The reason is actually in the use case for the rule. HTTP traffic, NOT directed to a webserver. This rule detects attempts to find a webserver faster than all those rules related to detecting this (snort/ET). The reason is simple. There are times you can use a not needed traffic approach. There are other times though that using that approach, could lead to false positives. What if another sysadmin adds a webserver using a client's IP (theoretical scenario, play along)? In that case the system will still see that traffic is trying to get to a client's pc, but block it. It's still NOT a false positive though, since I know that that address block shouldn't have servers in it. It's the sysadmin's responsibility of notifying me to get the IP added to the webservers' list, and my responsibility of adding it. It's not the sysadmin's responsibility of going in and disabling a rule because my rule needs updating. Hope it makes sense.

            PS.
            Re-read the post and saw that I got carried away. Summary: yes, explanations would be nice, people actually doing what they are supposed to do would be nicer.

              You guys using pfBlocker may be interested in the upcoming Snort package update.  It will include support for Snort's IP Reputation preprocessor.  This is a high-speed preprocessor that is the first link in the Snort traffic inspection train (when enabled).  It can use one or more plain text files of IP addresses or CIDR-notation networks that it should block outright.  Traffic is matched on a simple IP and not using the complex regex engines and stuff the text rules use.  This means the inspection is quick and efficient.

              Here is my personal take on this new Snort blacklist approach versus the pfBlocker approach.  Both eventually produce the same result:  offender IPs blocked.  The difference in my opinion is how they get there.  pfBlocker is a sort of shotgun approach where you load your firewall up with all the potential bad-guy addresses.  This can potentially waste lots of memory and packet filter resources protecting against an army of IP addresses when maybe only 50 or 60 of them may actually ever hit your firewall (just an example; busier or high-value networks probably see more bad actor IPs than that).  At any rate, it seems more efficient in terms of resources in my view to let Snort sit there with a blacklist and only fill your firewall block tables with those blacklisted IPs that actually hit your box.

              The new Snort package will have a new top-level tab for managing IP Lists used by the new preprocessor, and then a new IP REP tab for each interface where you will assign the blacklist and/or whitelist for the interface and adjust other settings.  Some screenshots are attached below.

                @jflsakfja:

                Thought about putting a reason for disabling a particular rule next to the rule. Then sat down and thought. If a rule produces false positives, it's not a "I don't use skype (for example) so I'll leave active all rules related to skype that generate false positives" scenario, it's more of a "I don't use skype, but other persons do".
                This particular list is in use at a site that provides internet connectivity to clients, and hosts a couple of servers behind it. If something ends up on my list it's a)the rule should be removed upstream (coughsimple HTTP requestcough) b)client's requirements (stuff they use, I don't use) c)company requirements (stuff nobody but me uses, but causes a false positive). In all cases, the rule is required to be disabled, since nobody wants to get a call at 3am to get up and unblock an IP that was blocked by mistake.

                Personally I would like to see a simple explanation next to the rule for the reason why it's disabled. I would prefer it though if the false positive (or overly-paranoid rules coughsimple HTTP requestcough) get removed upstream. Rules "protecting" from 5 year vulnerabilities in a program shouldn't be used, but instead the program in question should be fixed. Yes there is the chance of a regression in a future update. I'll take my chances with that, instead of dropping connectivity at random due to false positives.
                Until all, each and every single one, of the past,present and future sysadmins, goes to work with an attitude of "I'll check for updates to software in use daily and co-operate with the community on getting bugs fixed" AND developers adopt the versioning scheme I suggested on a debian list a while back (only 2 versions for programs: stable and testing) then all kinds of these lists will be needed to "watch after" other people's mess.

                Let's take your example, for example (no pun intended). Those two rules caused an alert for something they should not produce. What the entire community is faced with is a simple choice:
                A) update the rule and fix it. If detection for that particular worm is not possible without using an NSA dragnet approach (all traffic to that port,not allowed) then that rule should be removed.
                B) leave the rule as is, and instead put additional effort into maintaining a copy of "This rule should be disabled because it's causing a false positive when you use skype".

                I'll take option A.

                Let's take my example now. SYN (first step to establishing a connection) traffic destined for an HTTP port, directed to a non-HTTP server. In my case, that particular rule is a "WTF?!? traffic directed at a web server is trying to get to a client's computer" type of reaction. This particular rule cannot produce a false positive. The reason is actually in the use case for the rule. HTTP traffic, NOT directed to a webserver. This rule detects attempts to find a webserver faster than all those rules related to detecting this (snort/ET). The reason is simple. There are times you can use a not needed traffic approach. There are other times though that using that approach, could lead to false positives. What if another sysadmin adds a webserver using a client's IP (theoretical scenario, play along)? In that case the system will still see that traffic is trying to get to a client's pc, but block it. It's still NOT a false positive though, since I know that that address block shouldn't have servers in it. It's the sysadmin's responsibility of notifying me to get the IP added to the webservers' list, and my responsibility of adding it. It's not the sysadmin's responsibility of going in and disabling a rule because my rule needs updating. Hope it makes sense.

                PS.
                Re-read the post and saw that I got carried away. Summary: yes, explanations would be nice, people actually doing what they are supposed to do would be nicer.

                Umm, it does sound like you got slightly carried away, but I understand what you mean.

                However, I would question your logic for not putting reasons next to the disabled rules. You said you didn't do it because if a rule produces false positives it should be disabled, regardless of whether I as a user uses skype or not (as other might).

                This doesn't take a few things into account though:

                A) The pfSense environment might be at home, not in a workplace (in which case it would make sense to block as many things as possible to reduce the attack surface - even if that's being overly careful in 99% of the cases)

                B) Corporate policy says that skype cannot be used.

                In either of those scenarios, the end result is that the user wants to actively block Skype. Having a list of what rules go with what helps to identify whether this is something that the person setting up pfSense should disable, leave as default or make sure it gets enabled.

                As for how to resolve the particular rules causing false positives I posted, I completely agree with your way of looking at it: the rule should be fixed, not disabled in an ideal world.

                However, I would raise the same question about other rules you have disabled on your config, such as:

                2009205 ET TROJAN Possible Downadup/Conficker-C P2P encrypted traffic UDP Ping Packet (bit value 1)
                2009206 ET TROJAN Possible Downadup/Conficker-C P2P encrypted traffic UDP Ping Packet (bit value 4)
                2009207 ET TROJAN Possible Downadup/Conficker-C P2P encrypted traffic UDP Ping Packet (bit value 5)
                2009208 ET TROJAN Possible Downadup/Conficker-C P2P encrypted traffic UDP Ping Packet (bit value 16)

                Why are those being disabled rather than fixing the rule?

                Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bust your balls or anything and I really really appreciate what you are doing here, but I think it would be a much better effort if more people could help you with generating a list that actually works and I feel that for that to work we need to have reasons behind why a certain rule is disabled.

                  The conficker rules (if memory serves right) FP on applications using UDP to get data transfered. Those were disabled because they were FPing when using viber (calls if I remember correctly). That was the second time they produced FPs and I decided I don't want to use them anymore. In the past they FPed when downloading torrents (if I remember correctly).

                  Those were disabled because I'm not in the position to get them fixed. Ideally rule developers should be aware of this list and have a closer look at the rules in question. There are several rules that were present on my lists but were later removed upstream (as seen in a couple of my posts, noted as Missing In Action rules). That should confirm that at least something's fishy with those rules.

                  As always, gasoline is sold to be put into your car. Nothing stops you from drinking it, apart from common sense. The same applies here. If you see a rule for skype, and you don't want to or can't use skype, then don't bother with it until it produces a genuine FP for you.

                  With that said, I'll try to put a reason next to a rule that is disabled from now on. Would appreciate some help with the already existing list.

                    This is great!  ;D

                    If you could add .gz and .csv files than it can replace pfBlocker.
                    Will a blocked ip be listed in the Snort Widget? And will this option also be available in the final Suricata package?

                      Yes on displaying blocks in the Widget (and I've fixed the Snort Widget so it updates correctly and also absorbed it into the base Snort package, so when you install the next update it will silently absorb previous widget settings and then remove the separate widget package).

                      Snort itself can only take text files.  This is not a package limitation but rather a limitation of the binary itself.

                      And finally, yes, this is coming to Suricata. I'm holding off a bit because Suricata has more options in this area and I think one of the major Suricata backers in the industry is working on their own IP reputation lists custom-tailored for Suricata's abilities.  They have offered to let me have a sample for testing and implementing in the Suricata package.

                        You guys using pfBlocker may be interested in the upcoming Snort package update.  It will include support for Snort's IP Reputation preprocessor.  This is a high-speed preprocessor that is the first link in the Snort traffic inspection train (when enabled).  It can use one or more plain text files of IP addresses or CIDR-notation networks that it should block outright.  Traffic is matched on a simple IP and not using the complex regex engines and stuff the text rules use.  This means the inspection is quick and efficient.

                        Very cool! Any thoughts on auto-update for the IP lists? ie: Give it a URL to fetch the IP list from periodically, like with pfBlocker.

                          I believe that to enter the blocklists into the Snort IP Reputation processor, you will have to do this manually.

                          Another option is to have a script that copies the pfBlocker text files into the appropriate snort folder after each pfBlocker update.

                          I have been working on a script that downloads all of the Blacklists, along with .csv and web scrapping methods. It also removes duplication addresses from all of the lists.

                          It reduces the list by approx 50%. This works in tandem with pfBlocker. I just map pfBlocker to use local files instead.

                            For the first release of this feature, it is true that a manual update is required for now.  You can upload a file (or files) or edit an existing list.  There is nothing stopping an admin from using a cron job to go fetch a list and saving it in the /var/db/snort/iprep directory on the firewall.  That's where Snort will store all of its blacklist and whitelist files for the IP Rep preprocessor. Just remember the files must be text format with one IP address or CIDR network per line.  When you update a list, send the running Snort processes a SIGHUP to have them soft-reload their configuration and read the new lists.

                              Does anyone know https alternative urls for the block lists?  The block lists could be modified by man-in-the-middle attacks upstream.  While I doubt someone would spend the time messing with the data just to get you to block more sites… it just makes sense to protect the lists.

                              I tried just changing the url to https but then noticed the hostname on the certificate was different.  Changing that results in a file not found.  I am surprised that they are not protected by SSL coming from security sites.  Any external file pulled via http into the firewall  that changes firewall behavior should be protected by SSL IMHO.

                                Emerging Threats is not updating that list anymore…

                                I agree that these lists should all be HTTPS.

                                  Hi Bill,

                                  Is this what you mean about the "SIGHUP" command?

                                  pgrep snort            (To collect pid)
                                  kill -SIGHUP <pid>(repeat per interface)

                                  2.9.2 Reloading a configuration

                                  First modify your snort.conf (the file passed to the -c option on the command line).
                                  Then, to initiate a reload, send Snort a SIGHUP signal, e.g.

                                  $ kill -SIGHUP <snort pid="">Note:  If reload support is not enabled, Snort will restart (as it always has) upon receipt of a SIGHUP.

                                  Note:  An invalid configuration will still result in a fatal error, so you should test your new configuration before issuing a reload, e.g. $ snort -c snort.conf -T</snort></pid>

                                    Hi Bill,

                                    Is this what you mean about the "SIGHUP" command?

                                    pgrep snort            (To collect pid)
                                    kill -SIGHUP <pid>(repeat per interface)</pid>

                                    Yep, those shell commands will soft-restart Snort.  Each Snort instance has its own PID file and you can find them all in /var/run as files named with the interface physical name and a UUID.

                                    My suggestion, if you want to do this via a shell script, is to grab all the Snort PID files in /var/run (they all start with "snort_" in the name) and then iterate through the collection reading the PID from a file and then sending the SIGHUP.  This way you could be more specific and only restart certain interfaces.  If you want to restart them all (or you have only one in the first place), then a simple```
                                    pkill -HUP snort

                                      I believe that to enter the blocklists into the Snort IP Reputation processor, you will have to do this manually.

                                      Another option is to have a script that copies the pfBlocker text files into the appropriate snort folder after each pfBlocker update.

                                      I have been working on a script that downloads all of the Blacklists, along with .csv and web scrapping methods. It also removes duplication addresses from all of the lists.

                                      It reduces the list by approx 50%. This works in tandem with pfBlocker. I just map pfBlocker to use local files instead.

                                      For the first release of this feature, it is true that a manual update is required for now.  You can upload a file (or files) or edit an existing list.  There is nothing stopping an admin from using a cron job to go fetch a list and saving it in the /var/db/snort/iprep directory on the firewall.  That's where Snort will store all of its blacklist and whitelist files for the IP Rep preprocessor. Just remember the files must be text format with one IP address or CIDR network per line.  When you update a list, send the running Snort processes a SIGHUP to have them soft-reload their configuration and read the new lists.

                                      I installed the new Snort package and it looks like you're pulling the compromised IPs .txt file from ETPro automatically during rules updates. Very cool!  8)

                                        FYI the following being enabled kept the WAN interface from turning on.
                                        It will show enabled, but it will have that red X next to it and it refused to start.
                                        After troubleshooting, I narrowed it down to this very specific rule (which you need to add to your exception list)

                                        If I disable that, then the WAN interface is able to show the green play button (running) without issue.

                                          Yes, there is apparently an issue with that specific rule in the ET OPEN rule set package.  I think it throws an error when Snort's pcre (Perl-compatible regular expression) engine tries to decode the content part of the rule.  This is an error the ET OPEN rule authors will need to fix.  It is a not something directly related to the Snort package.

                                            Yes, since the file is there in the ET OPEN and ET PRO rules packages, the new code for the IP Reputation preprocessor grabs and stores it for use if enabled by the user.
