Re: Assistance with Blacklist

["Hannibal S. Jackson" <hannibaljackson () yahoo com>]

I didn't try to verify yet b/c I can't get snort to run properly, it exists when it's starting up because it's having 
an issue with that line in the black_list.rules file. If I comment that white and black lists out in the snort.conf, 
snort starts just fine.

i don't know... your post used an invalid CIDR notation so i took an eWAG and figured that you were wanting to block 
the entire network that that IP belongs to... a quick lookup showed that it belongs to facebook so i continued with the 
eWAG and guessed that the entire network was what you were wanting to block... you can't start a CIDR entry in the 
middle of the netblock, TTBOMK... you have to list it with the network's address... 31.13.64.0 in this case...

what didn't work? accessing that IP? how did you try to verify it? did you try going to facebook and you were 
successful? this may be problematic because the browser may have had the page cached and pulled it from there OR the 
DNS may have given you another IP for facebook...

start here -> http://s3.amazonaws.com/snort-org/www/assets/166/snort_manual.pdf

section 2.2.19 Reputation Processor (pg. 118) then croll down to the bottom of page 119 and the top of page 120 for 
working examples... the default.whitelist example does show plain IPs without any type of mask...

barring that, i've offered what i know and dug up from the docs ;)
