      It should work but I haven’t done intensive tests with Snort in ages.

            @asterix I have started my pfsense suricata journey, and I have started to use your SID list. Have you updated this list with any new finds from your use? Thanks again for posting this list.

              @asterix I have started my pfsense suricata journey, and I have started to use your SID list. Have you updated this list with any new finds from your use? Thanks again for posting this list.

              Are you using IPS mode? If so, I advise against using any of the lists above. Even using Legacy mode I would want to keep many of those rules enabled. One example:

              1:2402000 - This rule alone is responsible for blocking 75%+ of attacks on a daily basis. Here's the top 10 alerts over a recent 24 hour period:
              0_1545014626236_sids.png

              If you're simply alerting and not blocking with IPS/Legacy then you may not want to see all 13,000 of those attacks. But blocking? You definitely want the Dshield rules in place (even if you're already using pfBlocker). The same goes for all of the CINS/compromised host rules.

              There are tons of rules in the lists above that will protect you. If you don't want to block traffic and prefer just to see alerts, then I would still want a huge number of those rules. Some more examples:

              1:2013031 # "ET POLICY Python-urllib/ Suspicious User Agent" -- I want to know if the urllib or requests python libraries are being used with generic User-Agents because that likely means I'm not making the request. If you're running something that does use the generic UAs, then you could either change that User-Agent to something else or write a pass rule specifically for that traffic.

              1:2017364 # "ET INFO SUSPCIOUS Non-standard base64 charset used for encoding" -- This is traffic I would definitely want to investigate.

              Were I you, rather than suppressing or disabling SIDs, I would write pass rules, use the modify SID options, or generally find a way to keep most of those alerts in place without the spam.

                @boobletins I just took a look at the numbers that you mentioned above, and it appears as though the most recent list also has the 1:2402000, and 1:2017364 SIDs removed from it. This sets me more at ease, as the way that you explain it, Intrusion detection systems would be less effective with them disabled. I will take a look at getting the 1:2013031 re-enabled. I have taken a look at my logs, and have been fortunate to not get any blocks from that when I previously used Snort. I am primarily a home user, who is paranoid enough to want and IDS/IPS system in place for my network. Thank you for the help.

                  Here is my current/updated list from disablesid.conf. I switched to suricata last year so your experience with these in snort may vary.

                  Here are some new additions in Suricata. They are still in my suppress list as I give them at least 3 months before considering them to be permanently disabled. Most of these blocked my smartTV from reaching the internet.

                    disableid.conf

                    You have to create a disableid.conf file and add the above list to it. There is no direct link to a file as it has to be created locally on pfSense. Once created select the file in the "Interface SID Management List Assignments" under "Disable SID List" dropdown.

                        Could you share for us your last disablesid.conf ? maybe you have some NEWS. and that can use for snort and suricata ? or only suricata? Do you have any new post of config suricata for WAN and snort for LAN? Thanks for your help.

                        Best Regards,
                        Daniel T
