The $OPTION script and the value in daemon line were missing in snortd. Added those and now I can see the options being used. snort 41331 0.5 3.3 579460 269956 ? Ssl 12:25 0:02 /usr/sbin/snort -d -D -i eth2 -u snort -g snort* -k none* -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/eth2 But no change in snort behavior yet. Started another full scan, included options like DOS, Fragmented packets, bad traffic.. nothing recorded in snort.log.

Humm.. the options should show on the command line when invoked. Did you install snort via tarball or some rpm? Near the top of the init script i have for snort I see: # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # Source the local configuration file . /etc/sysconfig/snort # Convert the /etc/sysconfig/snort settings to something snort can # use on the startup line. if [ "$OPTIONS"X = "X" ]; then OPTIONS="$OPTIONS" fi do you have that in yours? Then further down, during the case commands, you should see $OPTIONS in the line with daemon On Thu, Jul 10, 2014 at 4:07 PM, Abhijit Tikekar <abhijittikekar () gmail comwrote:Added OPTIONS=" -k none" towards end of /sysconfig/snort and restarted. No errors, but process still doesn't show any new flag, does that look okay? snort 40088 0.3 3.1 579436 254884 ? Ssl 11:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/snort -d -D -i eth2 -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/eth2 Re ran the scan.. no activity in snort. The latest snort.log.TIMESTAMP file stays at 0 bytes.

If it's not there, add it and that should work and should be picked up from the init script. ie: OPTIONS=" -k none " On Thu, Jul 10, 2014 at 3:24 PM, Abhijit Tikekar < abhijittikekar () gmail com> wrote:Thanks for the responses. I checked the current snort instance.. it's not running with "-k none".. snort 37452 0.3 3.3 579264 273292 ? Ssl 10:47 0:05 /usr/sbin/snort -d -D -i eth2 -u snort -g snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort/eth2 How do I add "-k none" option in the daemon mode? It wasn't there under /etc/sysconfig/snort Although, I did find "config checksum_mode: all" under snort.conf.. I changed it from "all" to "none" [ Is this the same as adding -k none? ] restarted snortd but it still cannot see any scans from pytbull. Verified using tcpdump that traffic from pytbull is coming to the interface, and if I edit icmp.rules and add a test "any any" rule, then it start detecting all icmp packets as "DELETED ICMP Source Quench".. but nothing else. Not sure if it's a missing snort config param or if the default rules are not tailored for something like pytbull.

Current implementation is snort-2.9.6.1 on CentOS 6.4 along with barnyard and snorby. My question is regarding the ruleset which I downloaded as a registered user. Many of the rule files are empty, e.g, icmp.rules, or ddos.rules. Are these supposed to be empty? Yes, these rules have transitioned to new categories per the policy realignment. The reason I am asking is because when I used pytbull against snort to test, snort.log never recorded anything. When I add a test icmp rule(alert icmp any any -> any any (msg:"ICMP Packet"; sid:477; rev:3;), then only that is captured by snort, nothing else. How much tuning should I do to my default snort ruleset before noticing any alerts by scans from pytbull etc? Is the default snort implementation capable of detecting such attacks? I enabled all options in pytbull while scanning, e.g. Fragmented packets, brute force, shellcodes, DOS etc.. Ruleset used: *snortrules-snapshot-2961.tar.gz* having not tested pytbull myself successfully, id say take a look at the Snort faq. https://github.com/vrtadmin/snort-faq/blob/master/FAQ/Im-not-receiving-alerts-in-Snort.md -- *Joel Esler* Open Source Manager Threat Intelligence Team Lead Vulnerability Research Team------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=snort-users Please visit http://blog.snort.org to stay current on all the latest Snort news!------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=snort-users Please visit http://blog.snort.org to stay current on all the latest Snort news!
