Erek, I have defined the following: var HOME_NET 192.168.0.0/22 var SERVERS_NET 192.168.1.128/25 var DIALUP_NET 192.168.1.0/25 var EXTERNAL_NET !$HOME_NET However, there are still things that are not clear to me. If I changed the ordering of snort to pass->alert->log instead of alert->pass->log using option "o", why do I still get alerts from scan proxy/socks alert even if I allowed it to pass? pass tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 8080 pass tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 3128 pass tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 1080 Is it a bug or a feature? -----Original Message----- From: Erek Adams [mailto:erek () theadamsfamily net] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 1:15 AM To: francisv () dagupan com Cc: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: RE: [Snort-users] Help with pass rule On Wed, 28 Aug 2002 francisv () dagupan com wrote:
I have the following line: preprocessor portscan-ignorehosts: $HOME_NET in my snort.conf file. Is portscan-ignorehosts directly related to scan attempts?
Yes. It's part of the portscan preprocessor. It tells the plugin what IP's to ignore 'scans' from. The logic of portscan is something like "If you see over X connections to a port or multiple ports in Y seconds, then it's a portscan." DNS servers can set it off if it's not setup right. You may want to change your HOME_NET and EXTERNAL_NET values, depending on how you see your network. If SERVER_NET is also HOME_NET then I would define EXTERNAL_NET as !$HOME_NET. That would set it to every IP except your HOME_NET.
