I have been seeing alot of this kind of traffic coming from an HP openview box. I have attached a file, that require perl and the mysql modules for perl , You may need to tweek it a little since it designed for removing false positives on normal rules not spp events. I have another one that does deletes based on signature name, but it is written for perl on windows and the code is messy Ian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nicholas Bachmann" <nbachmann () mail davison k12 mi us> To: <snort-users () lists sourceforge net> Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 6:10 PM Subject: [Snort-users] 300,000 alerts in Database from spp_asn1
Through some weirdness, spp_asn1 on Snort 1.9 has flooded my PostgreSQL database with over 300,000 alerts (which seem to be false-positive, or at least not malicious), which has not made the DB very happy :-). The actual probem is peripheral to my actual question, but I'm sure somebody is interested; I will provide details on or off
list.
My questions is this: how does one go about deleting those 300,000 alerts. Just doing a delete in ACID doesn't cut it; I left it deleting over a weekend and that didn't work (probably timed out) and while deleting no alerts are able to be added to the database, and I can't check it anyway (transaction block?). Any ideas? -- Regards, Nick Nicholas Bachmann, SSCP Tech Department Davison Community Schools ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
