Re: Flexresp problems

Where are the configuration options for flexresp
version 1?  I can't find them.


TIA,

ZK

flexresp2 is broken in Snort 2.8.0 because of the
inclusion of IPv6
support in Snort - there are conflicting types in
the Snort code and
libdnet.  This should be fixed in the 2.8.1 release
(not sure on the
date yet for this release).  Use the original
flexresp
(--enable-flexresp) if you want to block requests or
send resets.

Are you saying that I should use --enable-flexresp
instead of --enable-flexresp2?  --enable-flexresp2
does not work for me with my configure options
used. 
Some clarification would be helpful.

Thanks,

Rob,

I just tested this and it seems to work fine with
the 2.8.0.1 tarball on
the snort.org site.  Can you post the command
line
you used to configure
Snort?  The configure line I used was:

$ ./configure --enable-pthread
--enable-linux-smp-stats
--enable-dynamicplugin --enable-sourcefire
--enable-gre
--enable-targetbased --enable-flexresp

The rule I used was:

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> 192.168.0.2 80
(msg:"You
bastard";
flow:to_server,established; content:"cmd.exe";
nocase;
classtype:policy-violation; sid:100000001; rev:8;
react:block;)

The snort.conf I used was the default one with
the
above rule added at
the end of the file.

The snort command line I used was (running from
top
level of source tree):

$ sudo ./src/snort -c ./etc/snort.conf.work -k
none
-A cmg -i eth0

When I tried to use the url
"http://192.168.0.2/cmd.exe";, I got an alert
as well as the flexresp react block page sent to
my
browser.

Also tried the resp rule:

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> 192.168.0.2 80
(msg:"You
bastard";
flow:to_server,established; content:"cmd.exe";
nocase;
classtype:policy-violation; sid:100000001; rev:8;
resp:rst_snd;)

and I get a message sent to my browser that the
connection was reset.

This was not tested on a Cent OS 5 machine, but a
Fedora Core 8 intel.
I downloaded libnet-1.0.2a.tar.gz and just did
the
normal './configure
&& make && sudo make install'.

Thanks,
Todd

I've installed with Flexresp and when I try to
add
react:block; to a rule I get the message below,
any
ideas please anyone?
FATAL ERROR: Warning:
/etc/snort/rules/local.rules(1) => Unknown
keyword '
react' in rule!
The rule syntax looks OK to me and I've used
this
before without a problem. I'm running snort
2.8.0.1
on Cent OS 5.
The rule looks like this:

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 8888
(msg:"P2P napster login";
flow:to_server,established; content:"|00 02 00|";
depth:3; offset:1; classtype:policy-violation;
sid:549; rev:8; react:block;)

Also with Flexresp in which file do you put your
variables i.e:
# just stop the offender
    var RESP_TCP resp:rst_snd;

I get the same error when I put this in
snort.conf
and replace react:block; with $RESP_TCP in my
rules.
I also get the same error with resp:rst_snd; in
the
rules.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
