Hi,

I'm making the test at my home using ppp0 for external
interface and eth0 for internal interface. It works at
all:)

Can you explain my my the porn.rules ruleseare written
as below:
alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET 80 -> $HOME_NET any /
(msg:"Game site in not
allowed!!";content:"tavla";nocase;flags:A+)

this is only for making alerts and loggging?!?!
If i wanna block a site, i.e. www.site.com , how can
it be made?!? Is the solution below is good?? Or can
you tell me a better rule!? :
drop tcp any any <> any any /
(msg:"Game site is not allowed!!";
content:"www.site.com";)

thanx

funky

How are you physically configured? Is the network
traffic in question 
running *through* your snort box (ie: the machine
running snort acts as a 
router with 2 network cards), or alongside it?
Hogwash will only work if 
your snort box is an in-line router, and will not
work as a 
single-interface side-monitor connected via a hub or
ethernet tap.


Hogwash will only work if configured like this:

internet ---- snort_hogwash_machine ---  protected
machine

it will not work like this:

internet ------ hub/tap ------ "protected" machine
(not really protected)
                 |
          snort_hogwash_machine.

The second setup works for normal snorting, but does
not work for 
hogwashing since the snort machine can only see the
packets in question, it 
can't block them since it's not "in line". If the
second case is your only 
possible configuration, your best bet is flexresp,
but that works by 
spoofing reset packets and does not work 100%
reliably.

Hi,

I'm trying to block some sites using the hogwash
patch
for Snort.

I tried the rule below like the porn.rules:

drop tcp $EXTERNAL_NET 80 -> $HOME_NET any /
(msg:"Game site in not
allowed!!";content:"tavla";nocase;flags:A+)

Tyring to enter a web-site froma client, for
exemple
www.tavla.com, i can enter that, why!?!??!?!
i have to modify the rule like below in order to
block
the site:

drop tcp any any <> any any /
(msg:"Game site is not allowed!!";
content:"tavla";)

Now i'M not allowed to enter the sites.
So do i have to modify the rules like that which i
wanna apply the "drop" option!??!??!

Anyone can help me in that case please?!?!?

thanx
