Hi YM,



So to have two configurations, we should have 2 pulledpork config files, right? Also if you could elaborate what goes 
wrong by not having 2 configs would help.



Thanks.



Regards,

Anshuman

Hi Bradley;

What I have noticed is that the ability to process IP lists "offline"/locally as PulledPork would with rulesets  dose 
not seem to be implemented. If it is, then both of us are making the same mistake :).  What I do is that I run 
PulledPork twice, once against the configs to process rulesets locally,  and the second time against configs to only 
fetch the IP list and process it.

Subject: [Snort-users] IP REP / Pulled Pork / Snort Difficulties

Good Morning,

I'm having some difficulties getting the ip reputation piece up and working the way that I want it. Can someone 
please correct me where I am wrong?

PulledPork 0.7.0
Snort 2.9.5.5

PulledPork configuration:
rule_url=http://labs.snort.org/feeds/ip-filter.blf|IPBLACKLIST|open<http://labs.snort.org/feeds/ip-filter.blf%7CIPBLACKLIST%7Copen>
black_list=/etc/snort/rules/black_list-p2p1.rules
IPRVersion=/etc/snort/rules/

Snort configuration:

var WHITE_LIST_PATH rules
var BLACK_LIST_PATH rules

preprocessor reputation: \
memcap 500, \
priority whitelist, \
nested_ip inner, \
# whitelist $WHITE_LIST_PATH/white_list-p2p1.rules, \
blacklist $BLACK_LIST_PATH/black_list-p2p1.rules


I have a cron script that downloads the ip list every night at a predetermined time:

wget -v http://labs.snort.org/feeds/ip-filter.blf -O /opt/pulledpork/tmp/sigs/IPBLACKLIST

The machine has multiple interfaces, so I only want to download the file once and then process from that downloaded 
copy for all interfaces. Pulled pork is run with the '-P' so that rules are processed even though they weren't 
downloaded and '-n' "do everything other than download of new files (disablesid, etc).

So, the steps would be:

1) download file and place it in /opt/pulledpork/tmp/sigs/IPBLACKLIST
2) run pulledpork and process the rules / ip lists.
3) PP then generates a ipblacklist file called 'black_list-p2p1.rules' and places it in 
/etc/snort/rules/black_list-p2p1.rules

Everything except for this ip reputation is working properly, and has been working properly for some time.

Does anyone have a clue why this isn't working?

Thanks,

Brad
