Re: Excluding a single IP from HOME_NET

Darryl: Thanks. I configured Snort that way after all too (however I
didn't knew about that ipcalc option and calculated the addresses by
hand...)

btw I posted a follow-up on this thread on the snort-devel list!

You could include all the networks that you want and not include then nets
you don't. I needed help so I used ipcalc. To exclude 10.1.1.1 for example I
used the calculations below. Then I would include everything except
10.1.1.0/31. That will remove both 10.1.1.0/32 and 10.1.1.1/32 but it
basically does what you want without doing negations. There's probably some
slicker way to do it but ....
Hope that helps.

Didn't know about the "-o" flag, but that won't work after in my setup - I'm
interested in traffic to and from the proxy server.

If however we want proxy to *not be part of external_net* then we can do
this:
var EXTERNAL_NET !10.0.0.0/8

Thanks for testing. The proxy should be excluded from  HOME_NET, but
included in EXTERNAL_NET, so this won't work either..

(BTW Jeff, a pass rule won't work since the IDS isn't placed inline.)

If you use the pass rule, and run snort with "-o" so pass rules come
first, the net effect is that your excluded IP matches the pass rule and no
further rules are evaluated on that packet.

Doesn't matter if you're inline or not.
