      Snort 2.9.7.0 pkg v3.2.1 Update

      An update for the Snort package has been posted.  This update upgrades the underlying Snort binary to version 2.9.7.0, fixes two bugs and adds two new features to the Snort package.

      A preview thread posted earlier shows how to use the new OpenAppID feature (has screenshots).  Here is the link to that thread: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=84227.0.

      When upgrading an existing Snort installation, please be sure and wait for the successful restart confirmation message before leaving the screen.  Leaving the screen too soon can result in the final install step getting skipped, and Snort will disappear from the SERVICES menu!

      New Features

      • Add support for new OpenAppID preprocessor.  This allows Snort to detect over 2400 applications and alert on their traffic.

      • Add new option on GLOBAL SETTINGS tab to toggle verbose Snort start-up logging.  The new setting defaults to "off".  When enabled, Snort will output detailed information on its startup progress to the firewall system log.

      Bug Fixes

      • Cron task for cleaning up old perfmon stats logs misses some files and never deletes them

      • The snort.sh script used to auto-start Snort and/or Barnyard2 on reboot loads binaries from /usr/local/bin instead of using the PBI wrappers in /usr/pbi/snort__{arch}_/bin.

        The OpenAppID  URL error message is gone and it does successfully download the OpenAppID Detectors.

        However, the URL box that you show in the other thread still is not there.

        To update to pkg v3.2.1 (from pkg v3.2) , I just did a reinstall GUI components.  Also cleared browser cache.

          I followed the onscreen directions exactly to get the error to go away.  Once enabled and saved, go to the Updates tab, and in the section titled UPDATE YOUR RULE SET, click the Update button (Force would probably work too).  I waited for Snort to restart, then once it had I waited a bit longer until I got a message about AppID being enabled.

          Now when I go back to the Global Settings tab, I see
          VER:    Installed Detection Package Version=255
          in the OpenAppID section.

            The VRT now have a more permanent URL for the download, so there was no longer a need for an editable URL (at least not for now).  That was the source of the earlier error.  I removed the box for the URL, but forgot to also remove the validation code as well.

            When you enable the OpenAppID download, then go to the UPDATES tab and click UPDATE to fetch the files.

              The OpenAppID feature is brand new to Snort, so we will all have to learn about it together.  Please share your experience and any useful rules in this thread.

              There are some examples on the VRT Blog web site along with a bash one-line command to dump out all the available applications.  Here is a link:  http://blog.snort.org/2014/03/firing-up-openappid.html

                  SSL preprocessor is likely disabled.  It is on the PREPROCESSORS tab in the General Preprocessors section down near the bottom of the page.

                  Anytime you see an unknown rule option error message, that likely means a needed preproc is disabled.

                    Just to let you know that when I upgraded from Snort 2.9.6.2 pkg v3.1.5 to Snort 2.9.7.0 pkg v3.2.1 using the Reinstall Snort package button.

                    Snort was running.
                    I stopped it and re-started it without any issues.

                      Preproc was ENABLED….

                      Disabled it and Snort started with no issues. I believe there is an error in the rule.

                        Snort was running.
                        I stopped it and re-started it without any issues.

                        This binary version of Snort changes the directory name where the preproc libraries are stored.  The snort.conf file has to be updated with the new name (and the new directory has to be created and populated).  That should have happened automatically prior to Snort startup on your box, but if you got errors then for some reason it did not.  Stopping and then manually restarting via the START/STOP icons will forcibly create the new snort.conf file.

                              Where is that IP range included in the Pass List for the interface?  Check on the INTERFACE SETTINGS tab for that interface and verify the IP range is showing up when you click View List beside the PASS LIST drop-down box. Simply calling an Alias "whitelist" is not sufficient.  You must assign the alias to a Pass List, then assign that Pass List to an interface and finally restart the interface for the whitelist to become effective.

                                  No changes at all were made to anything related to the PASS LIST logic (neither in the GUI code nor in the binary).  Did this just start recently?  Is this a new IP alias recently added?  Can you try defining it as 81.19.246.0/26 instead of as 81.19.246.1/26?

                                        I suspect these are errors within the OpenAppID detector scripts themselves.  They would have come down via the latest update to those scripts (which happens on the same schedule as other rule updates).  Try searching the Snort mailing list via Google or posting on the list to see if others have the same issue.  There are sometimes syntax errors that creep into the rules as the authors are sometimes working fast and furious to get them out there.

                                              These are issues within the OpenAppID templates themselves that are updated periodically from the Snort.org web site.  When you see these kinds of errors, it means the latest update to the templates contains some errors.  You can check the Snort VRT mail list to see if others are reporting issues.  It's also likely these will magically fix themselves in a future update of the OpenAppID templates.

                                                Hello,

                                                I tried to get OpenAppId working, but it doesn't want to…

                                                My snort is working, VRT & OpenAppId rules are downloaded. VRT alerts appear.
                                                I followed this tutorial : https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=84227.0
                                                When I go to reddit, nothing is logged in alerts. Nothing useful in the firewall logs neither.

                                                I'm running pfsense 2.1.5 with the latest version of snort.

                                                Any idea ?

                                                Thanks !
