Snort - Blocking googlebot's
-
Hello. i have a problem here, i am hosting a webpage and snort is marking all googlebots as fake user agents….
is there an easy way to fix this so google is allowed to scan the website?i have tried to fin a list with the ip's but i am not sure if i can trust the content on the sites i have found.

Go to the Snort Alert Tab, under the Source IP youll see a small + icon, click on on it. It will Add This Alert to the suppress list and track by_src IP. You can do the same with Destination IP…
Also, when writing custom rules, you can add negate IPs. From this example, it will triggers from any $EXTERNAL_NET IPs, but not 8.8.8.8
alert tcp [$EXTERNAL_NET,!8.8.8.8] any -> $HOME_NET [80,443] -
but how can i be sure it is google ? and not a fake on i supress ?
