I thought config was good. Here is eth0 and eth1. I will also check
locations mentioned in other messages. 

Thanks so much everyone!


eth0 is 

# Intel Corporation 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:13:20:4E:CC:B9
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DHCP_HOSTNAME=FC5ENG1.bplnoc.com
IPADDR=192.168.1.101
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

and then eth1 is 


# Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:30:BD:1F:09:9A
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes

I run CentOS and was able to get this working without a problem.  Check
your interface configuration file
(/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0) and have it resemble the
following:

ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

I then have my management interface configured
(/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1) as follows:

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=X.X.X.X
HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Since yours is running on eth1, try using what I have for eth0 for your
eth1, or swap the cables and change the init file back to eth0.  Good
luck.

Subject: [Snort-users] Use two nics


Hello - 

I would like to be able to use two NICS with my snort machine but for
some reason I have not been able to get this to work properly. Is there
a default way to set this up or is it more complicated?

eth0 - management (192.168.1.0/24 subnet)
eth1 - NIDS (no IP)

Both are in the same switch - a cisco 2900

I have configured (on Fedora 5) /etc/init.d/snort to use eth0

I will attach here the contents of /etc/init.d/snort
and /etc/snort/snort.conf. Can you kindly have a look and see what I may
have messed up?

###################################################
# This file contains a sample snort configuration. 
# You can take the following steps to create your own custom
configuration:
#
#  1) Set the variables for your network
#  2) Configure dynamic loaded libraries
#  3) Configure preprocessors
#  4) Configure output plugins
#  5) Add any runtime config directives
#  6) Customize your rule set
#
###################################################
# Step #1: Set the network variables:
#
# You must change the following variables to reflect your local network.
The # variable is currently setup for an RFC 1918 address space. # # You
can specify it explicitly as: 
#
 var HOME_NET 192.168.1.0/24
#
# or use global variable $<interfacename>_ADDRESS which will be always #
initialized to IP address and netmask of the network interface which you
run # snort at.  Under Windows, this must be specified as #
$(<interfacename>_ADDRESS), such as: #
$(\Device\Packet_{12345678-90AB-CDEF-1234567890AB}_ADDRESS)
#
# var HOME_NET $eth0_ADDRESS
#
# You can specify lists of IP addresses for HOME_NET
# by separating the IPs with commas like this:
#
# var HOME_NET [10.1.1.0/24,192.168.1.0/24]
#
# MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PLACE ANY SPACES IN YOUR LIST!
#
# or you can specify the variable to be any IP address
# like this:

#var HOME_NET any

# Set up the external network addresses as well.  A good start may be
"any" var EXTERNAL_NET !$HOME_NET

# Configure your server lists.  This allows snort to only look for
attacks to # systems that have a service up.  Why look for HTTP attacks
if you are not # running a web server?  This allows quick filtering
based on IP addresses # These configurations MUST follow the same
configuration scheme as defined # above for $HOME_NET.  

# List of DNS servers on your network 
var DNS_SERVERS $HOME_NET

# List of SMTP servers on your network
var SMTP_SERVERS $HOME_NET

# List of web servers on your network
var HTTP_SERVERS $HOME_NET

# List of sql servers on your network 
var SQL_SERVERS $HOME_NET

# List of telnet servers on your network
var TELNET_SERVERS $HOME_NET

# List of snmp servers on your network
var SNMP_SERVERS $HOME_NET

# Configure your service ports.  This allows snort to look for attacks
destined # to a specific application only on the ports that application
runs on. For # example, if you run a web server on port 8081, set your
HTTP_PORTS variable # like this: # # var HTTP_PORTS 8081 # # Port lists
must either be continuous [eg 80:8080], or a single port [eg 80]. # We
will adding support for a real list of ports in the future.

# Ports you run web servers on
#
# Please note:  [80,8080] does not work.
# If you wish to define multiple HTTP ports, use the following
convention # when customizing your rule set (as part of Step #6 below).
This should # not be done here, as the rules files may depend on the
classifications # and/or references, which are included below. # 
## var HTTP_PORTS 80 
## include somefile.rules 
## var HTTP_PORTS 8080
## include somefile.rules 
var HTTP_PORTS 80

# Ports you want to look for SHELLCODE on.
var SHELLCODE_PORTS !80

# Ports you do oracle attacks on
var ORACLE_PORTS 1521

# other variables
# 
# AIM servers.  AOL has a habit of adding new AIM servers, so instead of
# modifying the signatures when they do, we add them to this list of
servers. var AIM_SERVERS
[64.12.24.0/23,64.12.28.0/23,64.12.161.0/24,64.12.163.0/24,64.12.200.0/2

# Path to your rules files (this can be a relative path)
# Note for Windows users:  You are advised to make this an absolute
path, # such as:  c:\snort\rules var RULE_PATH /etc/snort/rules

# Configure the snort decoder
# ============================
#
# Snort's decoder will alert on lots of things such as header
# truncation or options of unusual length or infrequently used tcp
options # # # Stop generic decode events: # # config
disable_decode_alerts # # Stop Alerts on experimental TCP options # #
config disable_tcpopt_experimental_alerts
#
# Stop Alerts on obsolete TCP options
#
# config disable_tcpopt_obsolete_alerts
#
# Stop Alerts on T/TCP alerts
#
# In snort 2.0.1 and above, this only alerts when a TCP option is
detected # that shows T/TCP being actively used on the network.  If this
is normal # behavior for your network, disable the next option. # #
config disable_tcpopt_ttcp_alerts # # Stop Alerts on all other TCPOption
type events: # # config disable_tcpopt_alerts # # Stop Alerts on invalid
ip options # # config disable_ipopt_alerts # # Alert if value in length
field (IP, TCP, UDP) is greater than the # actual length of the captured
portion of the packet that the length # is supposed to represent: # #
config enable_decode_oversized_alerts # # Same as above, but drop packet
if in Inline mode - # enable_decode_oversized_alerts must be enabled for
this to work: # # config enable_decode_oversized_drops #

# Configure the detection engine
# ===============================
#
# Use a different pattern matcher in case you have a machine with very
limited # resources: # # config detection: search-method lowmem

# Configure Inline Resets
# ========================
# 
# If running an iptables firewall with snort in InlineMode() we can now
# perform resets via a physical device. We grab the indev from iptables
# and use this for the interface on which to send resets. This config #
option takes an argument for the src mac address you want to use in the
# reset packet.  This way the bridge can remain stealthy. If the src mac
# option is not set we use the mac address of the indev device. If we #
don't set this option we will default to sending resets via raw socket,
# which needs an ipaddress to be assigned to the int. # # config
layer2resets: 00:06:76:DD:5F:E3

###################################################
# Step #2: Configure dynamic loaded libraries
#
# If snort was configured to use dynamically loaded libraries, # those
libraries can be loaded here. # # Each of the following configuration
options can be done via # the command line as well. # # Load all dynamic
preprocessors from the install path # (same as command line option
--dynamic-preprocessor-lib-dir) # dynamicpreprocessor directory
/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor/
#
# Load a specific dynamic preprocessor library from the install path #
(same as command line option --dynamic-preprocessor-lib) # #
dynamicpreprocessor file
/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor/libdynamicexample.so
#
# Load a dynamic engine from the install path
# (same as command line option --dynamic-engine-lib)
#
dynamicengine /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicengine/libsf_engine.so
#
# Load all dynamic rules libraries from the install path
# (same as command line option --dynamic-detection-lib-dir)
#
# dynamicdetection directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrule/ # # Load
a specific dynamic rule library from the install path # (same as command
line option --dynamic-detection-lib) # # dynamicdetection file
/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrule/libdynamicexamplerule.so
#

###################################################
# Step #3: Configure preprocessors
#
# General configuration for preprocessors is of 
# the form
# preprocessor <name_of_processor>: <configuration_options>

# Configure Flow tracking module
# -------------------------------
#
# The Flow tracking module is meant to start unifying the state keeping
# mechanisms of snort into a single place. Right now, only a portscan
detector # is implemented but in the long term,  many of the stateful
subsystems of # snort will be migrated over to becoming flow plugins.
This must be enabled # for flow-portscan to work correctly. # # See
README.flow for additional information # preprocessor flow:
stats_interval 0 hash 2

# frag2: IP defragmentation support
# -------------------------------
# This preprocessor performs IP defragmentation.  This plugin will also
detect # people launching fragmentation attacks (usually DoS) against
hosts. No # arguments loads the default configuration of the
preprocessor, which is a 60 # second timeout and a 4MB fragment buffer. 

# The following (comma delimited) options are available for frag2
#    timeout [seconds] - sets the number of [seconds] that an
unfinished 
#                        fragment will be kept around waiting for
completion,
#                        if this time expires the fragment will be
flushed
#    memcap [bytes] - limit frag2 memory usage to [number] bytes
#                      (default:  4194304)
#
#    min_ttl [number] - minimum ttl to accept
# 
#    ttl_limit [number] - difference of ttl to accept without alerting
#                         will cause false positves with router flap
# 
# Frag2 uses Generator ID 113 and uses the following SIDS 
# for that GID:
#  SID     Event description
# -----   -------------------
#   1       Oversized fragment (reassembled frag > 64k bytes)
#   2       Teardrop-type attack

#preprocessor frag2

# frag3: Target-based IP defragmentation 
# --------------------------------------
#
# Frag3 is a brand new IP defragmentation preprocessor that is capable
of # performing "target-based" processing of IP fragments.  Check out
the # README.frag3 file in the doc directory for more background and
configuration # information. # 
# Frag3 configuration is a two step process, a global initialization
phase 
# followed by the definition of a set of defragmentation engines.  
# 
# Global configuration defines the number of fragmented packets that
Snort can # track at the same time and gives you options regarding the
memory cap for the # subsystem or, optionally, allows you to preallocate
all the memory for the 
# entire frag3 system.
#
# frag3_global options:
#   max_frags: Maximum number of frag trackers that may be active at
once.  
#              Default value is 8192.
#   memcap: Maximum amount of memory that frag3 may access at any given
time.
#           Default value is 4MB.
#   prealloc_frags: Maximum number of individual fragments that may be
processed
#                   at once.  This is instead of the memcap system, uses
static 
#                   allocation to increase performance.  No default
value.  Each
#                   preallocated fragment eats ~1550 bytes.
#
# Target-based behavior is attached to an engine as a "policy" for
handling 
# overlaps and retransmissions as enumerated in the Paxson paper.  There
are # currently five policy types available: "BSD", "BSD-right",
"First", "Linux" 
# and "Last".  Engines can be bound to bound to standard Snort CIDR
blocks or # IP lists. # # frag3_engine options:
#   timeout: Amount of time a fragmented packet may be active before
expiring.
#            Default value is 60 seconds.
#   ttl_limit: Limit of delta allowable for TTLs of packets in the
fragments. 
#              Based on the initial received fragment TTL.
#   min_ttl: Minimum acceptable TTL for a fragment, frags with TTLs
below this
#            value will be discarded.  Default value is 0.
#   detect_anomalies: Activates frag3's anomaly detection mechanisms.
#   policy: Target-based policy to assign to this engine.  Default is
BSD.
#   bind_to: IP address set to bind this engine to.  Default is all
hosts.
#
# Frag3 configuration example:
#preprocessor frag3_global: max_frags 65536 prealloc_frags 262144
#preprocessor frag3_engine: policy linux \
#                           bind_to [10.1.1.12/32,10.1.1.13/32] \
#                           detect_anomalies
#preprocessor frag3_engine: policy first \
#                           bind_to 10.2.1.0/24 \
#                           detect_anomalies
#preprocessor frag3_engine: policy last \
#                           bind_to 10.3.1.0/24
#preprocessor frag3_engine: policy bsd

preprocessor frag3_global: max_frags 65536
preprocessor frag3_engine: policy first detect_anomalies


# stream4: stateful inspection/stream reassembly for Snort
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Use in concert with the -z [all|est] command line switch to defeat
stick/snot # against TCP rules.  Also performs full TCP stream
reassembly, stateful # inspection of TCP streams, etc.  Can statefully
detect various portscan # types, fingerprinting, ECN, etc.

# stateful inspection directive
# no arguments loads the defaults (timeout 30, memcap 8388608) # options
(options are comma delimited):
#   detect_scans - stream4 will detect stealth portscans and generate
alerts
#                  when it sees them when this option is set
#   detect_state_problems - detect TCP state problems, this tends to be
very
#                           noisy because there are a lot of crappy ip
stack
#                           implementations out there
#
#   disable_evasion_alerts - turn off the possibly noisy mitigation of
#                            overlapping sequences.
#
#   ttl_limit [number]     - differential of the initial ttl on a
session versus
#                             the normal that someone may be playing
games.
#                             Routing flap may cause lots of false
positives.
# 
#   keepstats [machine|binary] - keep session statistics, add "machine"
to 
#                         get them in a flat format for machine reading,
add
#                         "binary" to get them in a unified binary
output 
#                         format
#   noinspect - turn off stateful inspection only
#   timeout [number] - set the session timeout counter to [number]
seconds,
#                      default is 30 seconds
#   max_sessions [number] - limit the number of sessions stream4 keeps
#                         track of
#   memcap [number] - limit stream4 memory usage to [number] bytes (does
#                     not include session tracking, which is set by the
#                     max_sessions option)
#   log_flushed_streams - if an event is detected on a stream this
option will
#                         cause all packets that are stored in the
stream4
#                         packet buffers to be flushed to disk.  This
only 
#                         works when logging in pcap mode!
#   server_inspect_limit [bytes] - Byte limit on server side inspection.
#   enable_udp_sessions - turn on tracking of "sessions" over UDP.
Requires
#                         configure --enable-stream4udp.  UDP sessions
are
#                         only created when there is a rule for the
sender or

sessions
#                               to track
#   udp_ignore_any - Do not inspect UDP packets unless there is a port
specific

improvement
#                    and turns off inspection for udp xxx any -> xxx any
rules
#   cache_clean_sessions [number] - Cleanup the session cache by number
sessions

# sfPortscan
# ----------
# Portscan detection module.  Detects various types of portscans and #
portsweeps.  For more information on detection philosophy, alert types,
# and detailed portscan information, please refer to the
README.sfportscan. # # -configuration options-
#     proto { tcp udp icmp ip all }
#       The arguments to the proto option are the types of protocol
scans that
#       the user wants to detect.  Arguments should be separated by
spaces and
#       not commas.
#     scan_type { portscan portsweep decoy_portscan distributed_portscan
all }
#       The arguments to the scan_type option are the scan types that
the
#       user wants to detect.  Arguments should be separated by spaces
and not
#       commas.
#     sense_level { low|medium|high }
#       There is only one argument to this option and it is the level of
#       sensitivity in which to detect portscans.  The 'low' sensitivity
#       detects scans by the common method of looking for response
errors, such
#       as TCP RSTs or ICMP unreachables.  This level requires the least
#       tuning.  The 'medium' sensitivity level detects portscans and 
#       filtered portscans (portscans that receive no response).  This
#       sensitivity level usually requires tuning out scan events from
NATed
#       IPs, DNS cache servers, etc.  The 'high' sensitivity level has
#       lower thresholds for portscan detection and a longer time window
than
#       the 'medium' sensitivity level.  Requires more tuning and may be
noisy
#       on very active networks.  However, this sensitivity levels
catches the
#       most scans.
#     memcap { positive integer }
#       The maximum number of bytes to allocate for portscan detection.
The
#       higher this number the more nodes that can be tracked.
#     logfile { filename }
#       This option specifies the file to log portscan and detailed
portscan
#       values to.  If there is not a leading /, then snort logs to the
#       configured log directory.  Refer to README.sfportscan for
details on
#       the logged values in the logfile.
#     watch_ip { Snort IP List }
#     ignore_scanners { Snort IP List }
#     ignore_scanned { Snort IP List }
#       These options take a snort IP list as the argument.  The
'watch_ip'
#       option specifies the IP(s) to watch for portscan.  The 
#       'ignore_scanners' option specifies the IP(s) to ignore as
scanners.
#       Note that these hosts are still watched as scanned hosts.  The
#       'ignore_scanners' option is used to tune alerts from very active
#       hosts such as NAT, nessus hosts, etc.  The 'ignore_scanned'
option 
#       specifies the IP(s) to ignore as scanned hosts.  Note that these
hosts
#       are still watched as scanner hosts.  The 'ignore_scanned' option
is
#       used to tune alerts from very active hosts such as syslog
servers, etc.
#     detect_ack_scans
#       This option will include sessions picked up in midstream by the
stream
#       module, which is necessary to detect ACK scans.  However, this
can lead to
#       false alerts, especially under heavy load with dropped packets;
which is why
#       the option is off by default.

# arpspoof
#----------------------------------------
# Experimental ARP detection code from Jeff Nathan, detects ARP attacks,
# unicast ARP requests, and specific ARP mapping monitoring.  To make
use of # this preprocessor you must specify the IP and hardware address
of hosts on # the same layer 2 segment as you.  Specify one host IP MAC
combo per line. # Also takes a "-unicast" option to turn on unicast ARP
request detection.

# ssh
#----------------------------------------
# EXPERIMENTAL CODE!!!
#
# THIS CODE IS STILL EXPERIMENTAL AND MAY OR MAY NOT BE STABLE! # USE AT
YOUR OWN RISK!  DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS. # YOU HAVE BEEN
WARNED. # # The SSH preprocessor detects the following exploits:
Gobbles, CRC 32, # Secure CRT, and the Protocol Mismatch exploit. # #
Both Gobbles and CRC 32 attacks occur after the key exchange, and are #
therefore encrypted.  Both attacks involve sending a large payload #
(20kb+) to the server immediately after the authentication challenge. #
To detect the attacks, the SSH preprocessor counts the number of bytes #
transmitted to the server.  If those bytes exceed a pre-defined limit #
within a pre-define number of packets, an alert is generated.  Since #
Gobbles only effects SSHv2 and CRC 32 only effects SSHv1, the SSH #
version string exchange is used to distinguish the attacks. # # The
Secure CRT and protocol mismatch exploits are observable before # the
key exchange. # # SSH has numerous options available, please read
README.ssh for help # configuring options.

#####
# Per Step #2, set the following to load the ssh preprocessor
# dynamicpreprocessor <full path to libsf_ssh_preproc.so>

#                  max_encrypted_packets 20

# DCE/RPC
#----------------------------------------
#
# The dcerpc preprocessor detects and decodes SMB and DCE/RPC traffic. #
It is primarily interested in DCE/RPC data, and only decodes SMB # to
get at the DCE/RPC data carried by the SMB layer. # 
# Currently, the preprocessor only handles reassembly of fragmentation #
at both the SMB and DCE/RPC layer.  Snort rules can be evaded by # using
both types of fragmentation; with the preprocessor enabled # the rules
are given a buffer with a reassembled SMB or DCE/RPC # packet to
examine. # 
# At the SMB layer, only fragmentation using WriteAndX is currently #
reassembled.  Other methods will be handled in future versions of # the
preprocessor. # 
# Autodetection of SMB is done by looking for "\xFFSMB" at the start of
# the SMB data, as well as checking the NetBIOS header (which is always
# present for SMB) for the type "SMB Session". # 
# Autodetection of DCE/RPC is not as reliable.  Currently, two bytes are
# checked in the packet.  Assuming that the data is a DCE/RPC header, #
one byte is checked for DCE/RPC version (5) and another for the type #
"DCE/RPC Request".  If both match, the preprocessor proceeds with that #
assumption that it is looking at DCE/RPC data.  If subsequent checks #
are nonsensical, it ends processing. # # DCERPC has numerous options
available, please read README.dcerpc for help # configuring options.

#####
# Per Step #2, set the following to load the dcerpc preprocessor #
dynamicpreprocessor <full path to libsf_dcerpc_preproc.so> # or use

# Step #4: Configure output plugins
#
# Uncomment and configure the output plugins you decide to use.  General
# configuration for output plugins is of the form: # # output
<name_of_plugin>: <configuration_options> # # alert_syslog: log alerts
to syslog # ----------------------------------
# Use one or more syslog facilities as arguments.  Win32 can also
optionally # specify a particular hostname/port.  Under Win32, the
default hostname is # '127.0.0.1', and the default port is 514. # #
[Unix flavours should use this format...] # output alert_syslog:
LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT # # [Win32 can use any of these formats...] # output
alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT # output alert_syslog: host=hostname,
LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT # output alert_syslog: host=hostname:port, LOG_AUTH
LOG_ALERT

# log_tcpdump: log packets in binary tcpdump format
# -------------------------------------------------
# The only argument is the output file name.
#
# output log_tcpdump: tcpdump.log

# database: log to a variety of databases
# ---------------------------------------
# See the README.database file for more information about configuring #
and using this plugin. # output database: log, mysql, user=snort
password=snortuser dbname=snort host=localhost # output database: alert,
postgresql, user=snort dbname=snort # output database: log, odbc,
user=snort dbname=snort # output database: log, mssql, dbname=snort
user=snort password=test # output database: log, oracle, dbname=snort
user=snort password=test

# unified: Snort unified binary format alerting and logging
# -------------------------------------------------------------
# The unified output plugin provides two new formats for logging and
generating # alerts from Snort, the "unified" format.  The unified
format is a straight # binary format for logging data out of Snort that
is designed to be fast and # efficient.  Used with barnyard (the new
alert/log processor), most of the # overhead for logging and alerting to
various slow storage mechanisms such as # databases or the network can
now be avoided.  
#
# Check out the spo_unified.h file for the data formats.
#
# Two arguments are supported.
#    filename - base filename to write to (current time_t is appended)
#    limit    - maximum size of spool file in MB (default: 128)
#
# output alert_unified: filename snort.alert, limit 128
# output log_unified: filename snort.log, limit 128


# prelude: log to the Prelude Hybrid IDS system
# ---------------------------------------------
#
# profile = Name of the Prelude profile to use (default is snort). # #
Snort priority to IDMEF severity mappings: # high < medium < low < info
# # These are the default mapped from classification.config:
# info   = 4
# low    = 3
# medium = 2
# high   = anything below medium
#
# output alert_prelude
# output alert_prelude: profile=snort-profile-name


# You can optionally define new rule types and associate one or more
output # plugins specifically to that type. # # This example will create
a type that will log to just tcpdump. # ruletype suspicious # {
#   type log
#   output log_tcpdump: suspicious.log
# }
#
# EXAMPLE RULE FOR SUSPICIOUS RULETYPE:
# suspicious tcp $HOME_NET any -> $HOME_NET 6667 (msg:"Internal IRC
Server";)
#
# This example will create a rule type that will log to syslog and a
mysql # database: # ruletype redalert # {
#   type alert
#   output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
#   output database: log, mysql, user=snort dbname=snort host=localhost
# }
#
# EXAMPLE RULE FOR REDALERT RULETYPE:
# redalert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 31337 \
#   (msg:"Someone is being LEET"; flags:A+;)
