I followed your troubleshooting steps and I found the offending alert in bad_traffic.rules file. I deleted the line and it looks like they are disabled now.
# Glad that you found the source of the issue. Just keep in mind that manual changes to .rules files, i.e.: deleting/commenting rules, will be overridden by the next rules update. Just a wild guess here, but from what you said you may have these two rules in multiple .rules files, which eventually are included in snort.conf. When running Snort, does the startup messages indicate anything about duplicate rules? Just to further verify.
Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Y M [mailto:snort () outlook com] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2015 2:16 AM To: Vona, Steven A CIV NSWCCD Philadelphia, 10411 Cc: snort-users Subject: RE: [Snort-users] Disabling Rules via disablesid.conf Comments inline. From: steven.vona () navy mil To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 20:47:40 +0000 Subject: [Snort-users] Disabling Rules via disablesid.conf I have Snort running on a few sensors around our network. We have subscriptions for the rules and we use pulledpork to download the rules daily. I am not attempting to turn the rules a little bit to disable some items that we do not need to see. I put these in disablesid.conf file and when I run pulled pork I see: Processing /etc/snort/disablesid.conf.... Disabled 3:21355 Disabled 3:19187 Modified 2 rules Done So it looks like it is disabling the rule, however I am still receiving alerts for the rule in my database. Any ideas? ## Some ideas to troubleshoot: 1) verify that the same sids are not included in the enablesid.conf (lame but why not). 2) Has the order in which PulledPork processes rules been changed?. 3) if you grep for the sids from the snort.rules (given you reconcile rules vi PulledPork), do they exist? 4) Are these two rules included in another .rules file (local.rules or so)?
