Re: IP Range Problems

uhhh no.  Ben had it right.  With a subnet mask of /22 that covers
10.5.0.0-10.5.3.255  and then the /24 covers 10.5.4.0-10.5.4.255.  There
is no point to writing them all out like that, especially with the /32
why add in a NET for a single ip?

That is an odd range of ip's though, it doesn't fit in well with CIDR
style notation.  is this 1 network with a netmask of 255.255.251.0??? 
strange....

10.5.0.0/21.5-ish  ;-) 

Out of curiosity are these networks split across multiple interfaces?

i want snort to look at the ip range of 10.5.0.1 - 10.5.4.254 but i cant
figure out how to input this into the ip list.  how do i put that into
the var HOME_NET list?  thanks for any help

var HOME_NET [10.5.0.0/22,10.5.4.0/24]

technically, thats not correct.  You would also look at 10.5.0.0 and 
10.5.4.255 which don't fit in the range specified.  For the most part,
that will work, but if you want to be exact, you need:

var HOME_NET 
[10.5.0.1/32,10.5.0.2/31,10.5.0.4/30,10.5.0.8/29,10.5.0.16/28,10.5.0.32/27,10.5.0.64/26,10.5.0.128/25,10.5.1.0/24,10.5.2.0/23,10.5.4.0/25,10.5.4.128/26,10.5.4.192/27,10.5.4.224/28,10.5.4.240/29,10.5.4.248/30,10.5.4.252/31,10.5.4.254/32]

aggregate is your friend.  (echo 10.5.0.1 - 10.5.4.254 | aggregate -i range)
