Re: PulledPork 500 error

Okay, I just verified that 23.23.165.79 is blacklisted at another
location.  So, it's not just my system.

Pulledpork runs daily.  It's good to know that VRT didn't blacklist
the server.  But the question of how it got into my blacklist
remains.  Is the Amazon server in question a legitimate part of your
rules delivery system?  If so, is it possible that the list gets
altered somehow when it's handed off to Amazon?  What possible hack
scenario could account for the address being added to my blacklist only?

Come to think of it, this isn't the first time this has happened. 
When I first implemented the reputation preprocessor, the IP
addresses 23.23.143.164 and 23.23.152.48 were blacklisted, and this
caused pulledpork to fail.  At that time, I added those addresses to
my whitelist as a work around.  So, given that this happened right
off the bat, it seems less likely to me that my system in particular
has been hacked.

Yeah, I’m not understanding that either.  That IP is not on our
blacklist.  How often do you update the IP blacklist?

Any thoughts on this?

I'm able to get pulledpork to run successfully by adding
23.23.165.79 to my whitelist.  But my concern is that pulledpork or
my DNS has been hijacked to pull info from a server that VRT has
intentionally blacklisted.  The other possibility is that the IP
was added in error to the blacklist.

Am I the only person whose blacklist contains 23.23.165.79?  If so,
then I clearly have big problems.  The fact that no one else is
reporting pulledpork failures indicates that this might be the
case, although it could also indicate that few open source users
are using Snort inline...

Sorry again for the confusion.  23.23.165.79 is included in my
default.blacklist file, which is maintained by pulledpork.

Pulledpork is configured to get the blacklist from labs.snort.org
<http://labs.snort.org/>.  Is that the way it should be configured?

It looks like labs.snort.org <http://labs.snort.org/> is handing
the request off to an Amazon server at the IP address in
question.  Is that the way it's supposed to work?

My apologies.  I can't find the IP address in any backup of the
IP blacklist.  I assumed the address must have been in the
blacklist because of the following alerts in BASE:

Internal IPs and times are obscured.  It appears that neither
source nor destination IPs should have been blacklisted, but BASE
reports them as having been blacklisted by Snort.  The packets
were dropped;  the times and internal IPs correspond to the
failed pulledpork jobs.

The problem is that the IP address of the Amazon server from which
PulledPork pulls VRT rules was added by VRT to the default blacklist. 
Any ideas why they might have done this?

"root certificates" sounds like ssl certificates... heartbleed... wanna bet that 
some certificates have been updated during heartbleed remediation and you now 
need to update the certificates your system(s) use...
