PfBlockerNG

Update: I did a complete software reinstall and the problem went away.

I found my WAN IP contained in the Infiltrated Web Attackers list. I've been leased this IP for a while now. The description in the list says that it is compiled on an hourly basis. I am now questioning the accuracy of the list. I don't believe that anything malicious is originating from inside my network. Then again, I could be wrong.
I can't see the Destination IP as you have obfuscated it.
Try to run the one of the following commands from the shell or from the GUI Diagnostics:Command :
[ Using [b]1.2.3.4 as an IP, change it to reflect the IP that is in question ]
grep "^1.2.3." /var/db/aliastables/pfB_Infiltratednet.txt
or
grep "^1.2." /var/db/aliastables/pfB_Infiltratednet.txt
or
grep "^1." /var/db/aliastables/pfB_Infiltratednet.txtI assume that the IP being blocked is in a large CIDR that the Alerts tab is not matching. You will have to sift tru the output and see if you can find a match.
Note - you can also try changing the path/folder to the following if you have multiple Lists inside an Alias, as the /var/db/aliastables folder is a compilation of all the lists in an alias.
/var/db/pfblockerng/deny/*
or You can view the Aliastable in the Log Browser, and scroll tru the list to see what IP CIDR is the cause of the Block.

Send an email to webattackers @ infiltrated [dot] net and ask to be taken off the list. As a safe measure, you can always add your WAN ip to the suppress list.

BBcan177,
You're the man! He has an answer for everything! :)

Yes for sure. BBCan177 I will be making a contribution for your efforts soon. I am a big fan of pfBlockerNG.
Now I am concerned that my leased IP is on a web attackers blacklist. I am hoping to find the time to configure Splunk as a SIEM. In the meantime I am trying to look into a few entries found in the logs to determine the source. I installed the Sysinternals SysMon tool so that I could get a verbose look at network connections originating from my Windows box but I cannot find a few of the entries that are being flagged in pfBlockerNG. Take for instance a http call out to 184.168.229.128 is flagged by the Alienvault blocklist. I thought I could trace back by source port in syslog but it is nowhere to be found in my event logs. Any ideas?

Hi Heisenberg1977,
In the Alerts Tab, you can click on the "!" icon for any alerted IP and it will open a second page which does a DNS Resolve. Clicking on "DNS Lookup" will open a page with several Sites where you can lookup the IP to gather some intel.
I am a big fan of "Security Onion"… You should check it out!

I just found the lookup feature a few minutes before you posted it. Real nice!. I'm still searching for a good Windows tool that will allow me to have a granular look at all network activity. Sysmon's ability to write to the event logs is great as it gives the ability to easily go back and search. It's logging a lot of stuff but my search did not pick up anything with destination address 184.168.x.x unfortunately.

Try the pfSense package ntopng…
-
Wow this package has really taken off. I have been away from all of this for a while. I had to reinstall my firewall and noticed that pfblocker (original wasnt a package anymore). I got this installed and I am amazed with what you can do.. I do have a quick question though.. How would i go about pulling all of the custom ips that I had set up in lists in the old pfblocker? I have the backed up config file for pfsense.. Am I able to pull them out of that somehow? I had some very extensive lists that I would like to duplicate on this pacakge without having to manually search and locate all of the ips again…
Good Job on this package bbcan! Sorry i fell off on the beta testing.. just got super busy with work and never had the opportunity to play with it.

How would i go about pulling all of the custom ips that I had set up in lists in the old pfblocker?
If you goto Diagnostics:Command Prompt in the GUI -
And in the PHP Execute Box type :
print base64_decode(" coded String ");
So you will need to view the config.xml file (or the Backup file) and find the old pfBlocker Alias and look for the line "coded string" and copy the "coded string" part …
It will output the decoded string to the Screen.
Hope this helps!

Thanks alot!! I got most of them from that section that all of these are kept at. However when trying to get the custom ips I copied the code that is beteen the and I am getting.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /usr/local/www/exec.php(250) : eval()'d code on line 2
I copied exactly what was there. I used notepad to copy as well as adobe dreamworks since it formats it as it should… same result.. Am i doing it wrong?
===== edit=======Well i just did a round about way.. Since I restored off of the config file, the pfblocker folder is there in my hierarchy.. I went into it and there is a txt file that has the list there.. I just opened it and copied the info out of it.. So I am good now..
Thanks for your help!! -

Make sure the Coded string that you copied is pasted inside the quotation marks and at the end of the command there is the semi-colon.

Something is strange with the Alias Header.
This is the Alias and Alert tabs.For some reasons on the Alert tab the IP-address is properly indicated as GB, but the list name is wrong.

Paid 40M in cash and stock. Considering the low price paid, lets say its 20-40 PE, this tells me ET were barely making any dime…
Proofpoint will focus on B2B, business cloud solution and try to make more money. Also, they should cut all ET staffs except the 20 plp working on rules writing and threat analysis...
My two cents.

Emerging Threats posted this letter committing to continue to support the Open ruleset. Obviously things could change over time, but it's a fairly strong statement.

My itch is getting worse….. lol how does one become beta tester for pfsense?

pfBlockerNG is available in the packet repo, no need to be a beta tester or anything. All you need is pfSense 2.2.X.

lol another case of half-asleep pfsense tinkering. My bad.
