Re: IP REP / Pulled Pork / Snort Difficulties

["Turnbough, Bradley E." <bturnbough () belcan com>]

In my case, I download the signatures and ip rep list to a central location within my company.  From there, my sensors 
grab a copy and process the rule sets.

FYI -- Responding with "inline" only adds to our frustrations.  If you have something to contribute, please do so, but 
do it in a meaningful manner.  "inline." does not bring anything to the table.

Hi YM,



So to have two configurations, we should have 2 pulledpork config files, right?



Not necessarily, but yes. You have one configuration file and modify it based on what you are trying to accomplish.



Also if you could elaborate what goes wrong by not having 2 configs would help.



There shouldn't be anything wrong in not having two different configuration files. If you use PulledPork to download 
the ruleset (and IP list) and then process them together, then you should stick with one configuration file. In our 
setup this is not doable due to how/where our sensors are located. We download the rules to a "staging" sensor for 
testing/researching before applying to production sensors. In other words, the ruleset is processed locally (not 
downloaded) by PulledPork. In this case, the local IP list does not get process, so we PulledPork again with only the 
IP list url enabled to only download and process the IP list



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.
