Sekure, what we have are connections to external trading partners coming over ipsec vpn's..these addresses are not part of $HOME_NET so l am trying to suppress alerts on the traffic that l would not to be classed as an attack or recce. type but still be alerted on other types...if l used a pass rule then l may miss a genuine alert.. l have also tried the suppress rule http_inspect (gen_id 119) and still recieve the alerts...obviously from what l have read and what others are saying it is something l am doing or not doing.. regards graeme -----Original Message----- From: sekure [mailto:sekure () gmail com] Sent: Thursday, 15 July 2004 11:04 PM To: Graeme Rider Cc: Tobias Rice; snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: Re: [Snort-users] RE: problem with suppress... Graeme, You don't need the -o flag for suppression to work. -o is used for when you have "pass" rules. Suppression and thresholding should work without it. Rule 384 is a very generic "ICMP Ping". Is this the rule that keeps triggering or are you trying to supperss ALL Ping events with that statement? The reason I ask is that there are many many ICMP Ping signatures. Are you absolutely sure that it is sig id 384 that keeps showing and not other ping signatures? On Thu, 15 Jul 2004 08:43:02 +1000, Graeme Rider <graeme.rider () colesmyer com au> wrote:
Tobias, yes...l was not initially but then saw a reference to this flag in the 'pass' requirements... the suppress rule that l am using is in the local.rules file: suppress gen_id 1,sig_id 384 regards graeme
