      The list is a good idea, BUT, we have no idea what is being suppressed.  At least I have no idea…..  Using this list literally stops everything from showing up and getting banned, is this a good idea?.  For all I know, you could have suppressed a bunch of things that should not be.

      Listing what you suppressed would have been a better approach, I am going to avoid using this and attempt to build something that I have a clue about.

      Not knocking your work, but as mentioned, I have no idea what you're suppressing.

        Thank you for pointing this out. I am a PFSense / snort newbie and just discovered this list. It improved the performance of snort, but I, too, am concerned about what it is actually doing since I am so new at this. A reply from somebody with experience would be beneficial.

        This week I plan to remove the list, at lease temporarily, and try to make my own suppression list. It will give me a frame of reference that may enable me to figure out the donated one better.

          deanot,

          I removed the copied suppression list ans started building my own today. I'm using suppression only at this time because I'm still too new with snort and PFSense to try the rule fixes. That will come down the road in a couple of weeks.

          FYI: It appears to take detective work to figure out what can be suppressed. Just tedious detective work.

          For example, a 'corporate violation' appeared to be my home network doing something internally using IPv6. Seemed pretty safe to suppress. Also on the copied list.

          An IPv4 destination address pointed at Microsoft. Google said it was in use by a company that supplies an anti-malware product I use. I assumed it was talking back to the publisher. Coded as safe.

          I noted one before that ooma was involved with and also noted on the ooma 'ports to forward' list they publish. Allowed.

          This must reflect the suggestion to run 'detect only' for a couple of months first. Good luck.

              I have exactly same problem using this list. Have you found lines / reason which are causing it? Otherwise list is great…

              Can anybody advice?

                Realized I had not posed my most recent suppression list. Found quiet a bit of new ones to add on the list after the recent upgrade to 2.3. I still see a few more false positives but they are not yet blocking anything critical.

                    After monitoring Snort for over 2 years, I am now confident on the suppression list doing no major harm to my network from outside attack. This week I moved the entire list (might have 1 or 2 more since my last post) to SID Mgmt, disablesid.conf on WAN (SID State Order: Disable Enable). This disables all the unneeded rules first before enabling the rest of the rules on Snort startup. Saves some CPU processing (don't expect miracles unless you are on P II/P III/P4 CPU). You wont see any difference on newer CPUs.

                    Here is the simpler list for disablesid.conf. Did a random check and found them disabled. No more suppression list for now.

                      Hi Asterix,

                      Thanks for the updated suppression list! It makes things work a lot better on my home network.

                      I noticed your last post says you moved the list over to SID Mgmt and stopped using the suppression list. Can you explain in detail how to do this? I'm a noob and I understood the whole suppression list and how to set it up, etc., but I have no idea what disablesid.conf is, where to edit it, etc.

                      Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

                      Also why is using this method better than the suppression list?

                      Thanks!

                        @akishore:

                        Hi Asterix,

                        Thanks for the updated suppression list! It makes things work a lot better on my home network.

                        I noticed your last post says you moved the list over to SID Mgmt and stopped using the suppression list. Can you explain in detail how to do this? I'm a noob and I understood the whole suppression list and how to set it up, etc., but I have no idea what disablesid.conf is, where to edit it, etc.

                        Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

                        See attached screenshot. Basically you go in SID Mgmt tab, enable "Enable Automatic SID State Management"and add/create a disabledsid.conf file. Once you have that added, go down below to the interface you are running Snort on (usually WAN) and reference the disabledsid.conf file under the Disable SID File column. SID State order should be "Disable,Enable"..so it will processing all the sids which are to be disabled first and then jump on to any specific sids you may have specified to be turned on using an enablesid.conf file (you can name the files what ever you feel like). Also ensure you go back to the WAN interface and remove the suppression list selected under "Alert Suppression and Filtering"  as you don't need it anymore. All your suppressed sids are now disabled to begin with so they will not be processed, hence no more alerts on them.

                        @akishore:

                        Also why is using this method better than the suppression list?

                        Thanks!

                        As I stated in the my previous post "This disables all the unneeded rules first before enabling the rest of the rules on Snort startup".. so Snort does not reference/process the disabled rules against the traffic saving some CPU time. Also since the rules are disabled before Snort starts, it saves some RAM and snort startup times are reduced…depending on how many rules you are loading and how many have been disabled of course.

                        In the case of suppression list, the rules are still being referenced/processed and the alerts being generated are just suppressed. So there is still activity in the background but since you set it up to ignore the alerts (suppress) they are not being shown in the logs.

                          Sweet,  doing a fresh load on new hardware so very timely too.

                          Thanks!

                            Thank you Asterix, well done!

                            I encountered only to "problems":

                            1. if I download a list, it contains a lot of html code (I'm using Firefox v. 50.1.0)

                            2. If I download all bunch of lists in gzip, the resulted file is corrupted (unpacking program: WinRAR v. 5.40 64-bit)

                              Not sure what list you are referring to. If you mean the list above, just copy paste it directly into pfSense. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=56267.msg665288#msg665288

                              On another note, after moving to Suricata a couple of days ago I am noticing more FPs which I first suppressed then moved to disablesid.conf. This may be due to the fact that I restructured my entire network from L2 to L3. So pfSense lan now acts just as a transit interface and is servicing clients outside its network (with the help of gateways and static routes).

                                  This may a lingering bug from the Bootstrap conversion, or it might be peculiar to Firefox.  Have you another browser to try such as Chrome or Internet Explorer?  If it persists with other browsers, I will look at getting it fixed in the next Snort package update.

                                  In the meantime, you can download the files outside of the GUI using something like WinSCP on Windows to perform a secure copy (SSH) operation.  The files live in the /var/db/suricata/sidmods directory on the firewall.

                                    It's the same with Google Chrome; moreover the "Download" button (which is supposed to download all the lists in a single bzip file) generates a corrupted archive.

                                      The download button seems to work normally here with Suricata at least. The individual files have HTML crap appended.

                                        Thanks!  I will put looking into this problem on todo list for Snort.  This may be caused by some changes to the underlying web server in newer pfSense versions.  I have not touched that particular code in Snort for a very long time (well before the change in the web server engine on the firewall).

                                          I'm running into a strange issue when using a disablesid.conf file, contents included below, the SIDs are not being disabled, I still see them triggering alerts, and when I check the rules in the snort interface I see "{$textse}"; " preceding SIDs that were specified in servers-disablesid.conf.  See attachment

                                          I've tried removing all of the comments in the conf file and rebuilding without luck.  Has anyone else run into this?
