Re: Alerts with the incorrect Source IP (proxy server)

[Heine Lysemose <lysemose () gmail com>]

Hi

I have had some of the same issues and still have.
Another solution was to use transparent proxy. I'm not able to do this on
out TMG server which in a setup as transparent proxy
also should be the default gateway which is not the case in our network
setup.

Could a another solution be, since barnyard is not altering the packets, to
have a options in the GUI (Snorby, Squil, Squert) frontends to select
weather or not to switch the "Orig IP" with the "XFF IP". This will of
course only work if Barnyard2 will start population the XFF/EXTRA DATA into
to the database. Maybe this will be part of the new database schema?
