I was bored, so I thought I'd just add something into this whole fire.

If you've ever seen one of my rants then you'll know that what I posted=20
was nowhere near a rant.  People were questioning whether vendors=20
needed to adhere to the rules for etiquette that we've had for this=20
list for years and I just wanted to assure them that they did in no=20

Be my guest.  I wasn't assessing the value of their solution, just=20
pointing out that we don't like vendors advertising around here after=20
Mr. Hines indicated that he thought that people should expect to be=20
marketed to if they post to this list.

We've thought about it from time to time and decided to let the list=20
police itself due to the time constraints that most of the people who=20
admin the Snort project are under.  The accidental CC wasn't what got=20
me to post, that happens from time to time and I don't care all that=20
much.  It *does* bother me when people say we should expect to see=20
these sorts of thing because "it's the way the game is played", and=20
that's what got me to respond.

Subject: [Snort-users] Oinkmaster v1.0 released.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

Oinkmaster v1.0 has been released.

Download:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/oinkmaster/oinkmaster-1.0.tar.gz?download


MD5: 1140fb5484944691268579ca7fc83518

PGP signature:
http://oinkmaster.sourceforge.net/oinkmaster-1.0.tar.gz.asc

For those who don't know, Oinkmaster is a simple tool to update/manage
Snort signatures. The homepage is at http://oinkmaster.sourceforge.net/


Changes from v0.9:

o Default URL in distribution oinkmaster.conf is now
  http://www.snort.org/dl/rules/snortrules-snapshot-2_1.tar.gz. Don't
  forget to change it if it's not the right one for your version
  of Snort!
o You can now set "rule_actions = ..." in oinkmaster.conf to tell
  Oinkmaster what keywords are valid as the start of a Snort rule. Useful
  if you create your own ruletypes and want those lines to be regarded as
  rules instead of non-rule lines. If unset,
  "alert|drop|log|pass|reject|sdrop|activate|dynamic" will be used
  (same as before).
o You can now run without external binaries if you have the required
  Perl modules installed (Archive::Tar, IO::Zlib and LWP::UserAgent).
  You can set use_external_bins to 0 or 1 in oinkmaster.conf to override
  the default. 0 means to use the Perl modules, 1 means to use external
  binaries. It's set to 0 by default on Win32 (since the required
  Perl modules are already included in ActivePerl 5.8.1+), and 1 on other
  systems (i.e. same behavior as before). This makes it much easier to
  install Oinkmaster on Windows/ActivePerl. See the new default
  oinkmaster.conf for more information.
o A simple graphical multi-platform front-end to Oinkmaster written in
  Perl/Tk is included in the contrib directory (oinkgui.pl).
  See README.gui for more information. Screenshots are available on
  Oinkmaster's homepage.
o contrib/makesidex.pl has been rewritten to handle multi-line rules and
  multiple rules directories. It will now also include the rule's "msg"
  string as a comment on each disablesid line it prints. Usage syntax is
  unchanged.
o The other contrib scripts have been improved with misc feature updates
  and small bug fixes as well. For example, addmsg.pl now handles
  multiple rules directories just like the others. All scripts now give
  a short description when run without arguments. Full descriptions can
  still be found in contrib/README.contrib.
o The new default oinkmaster.conf has been updated with more and better
  examples (mostly "modifysid" stuff).
o Slightly improved multi-line rule parsing.
o Perl version is checked on startup and must be >= 5.6.1.
o Permission on all rules files in the output directory that are subject
  to become updated by Oinkmaster (i.e. files matching the "update_rules"
  regexp and that are not ignore by a "skipfile") are now checked
  before starting, so that we don't bail out in a middle of
  execution if a copy of an updated file should fail because of
  permission problem.
o A manual page is now included which describes all the command
  line options in detail.
o Major documentation updates (INSTALL, README, README.win32, FAQ).
o Many other improvements.

/Andreas

I need a rule so I can generate a simple alert on localhost to show
someone how ACID works. I just started working with Snort so I would really appreciate the help.

Subject: [Snort-users] SnortDB-Extra Issues

I recently loaded the snortdb-extra stuff to my database because I am
working on my own analysis front-end and it seemed like some of the data
was wrong.

For instance, when the spp_stream4 preprocessor generates a SYN/FIN alert,
it inserts the tcp_flags value into tcphdr as 3 as it should be.  But then
looking up the value of 3 in the flags table shows 3 as being NULL packet
with both of the reserved bits set.

Am I just using this wrong or are the values wrong.


Thanks

Hi all

I need information about the classification of the attacks in Snort.=20
Is there any parallel which says that for example XMAS Scan belongs to=20
attempt-recon group? There`s no problem with extracting such information
form rule files but it`s little boring. And what about the =
preprocessors?
How do they match attacks with groups?
