AW: Help with content-list usage - Unable to open list file: Sven_da_duder

["Sean Wheeler" <s.wheeler () netprotect ch>]

Response to myself ;)

changed rules to :
alert tcp $ANY_Servers $any -> $ANY_Servers $http (msg:"New Style Custom
Rules";classtype:web-application-attack;content-list:/etc/rules/Sven_da_dude
r;)

i.e. gave the path in the rules reletive to the chroot (
content-list:/etc/rules/Sven_da_duder)

seems to work now
Was no need to add it to the conf file as an include

regards
Sean

Betreff: [Snort-users] Help with content-list usage - Unable to open
list file: Sven_da_duder


hi,

I have setup a rule :
alert tcp $ANY_Servers $any -> $ANY_Servers $http (msg:"Custom
Rules";classtype:web-application-attack;content-list:Sven_da_duder;)

Don't worry about the rule except for the content-list:Sven_da_duder piece

When I run snort with :

/usr/local/sensor/bin/snort -t /usr/local/sensor -N -c /etc/snorted.conf -i
eth0 -T

I get :
....
database: using the "alert" facility
Unable to open list file: Sven_da_duder
Fatal Error, Quitting..

I have placed the file Sven_da_duder in /usr/local/sensor/etc &
/usr/local/sensor/etc/rules

I tried popping it in /usr/local/sensor/bin aswell and still no joy

permission 644 so all can read the file

Do I need to make an include in my conf file for each content-list file?

I am a lil stumped, your help would be much appreciated

regards

Sean
