Same error with Snort and Suricata
-
Hi guys
I'm trying to implement an IDS/IPS system on my pfsense box. For me it's doesn't matter if I use Snort or Suricata in the future.
I started first with snort and because snort wasn't working I tried suricata. I have seen that both packages gave me back the same error.If I start snort or suricata (interface only or trough status –> service) the services doesn't start. (nothing happen, red cross stays there)
Following error if I try to start Suricata via shell:

There is currently an issue with IPv6 Link Local addresses in both packages. I have a fix for Snort posted that is awaiting review and approval by the pfSense Developer Team. Hopefully they can get it approved and posted in a few days.
I also have a fix for Suricata in the works that will come out with the next update.
If you know how to transfer files over to your firewall via scp (secure copy), then PM me and I can send you the Snort fix and you can help me test it.
