Re: PulledPork 500 error

Any thoughts on this?

I'm able to get pulledpork to run successfully by adding 23.23.165.79 to
my whitelist.  But my concern is that pulledpork or my DNS has been
hijacked to pull info from a server that VRT has intentionally
blacklisted.  The other possibility is that the IP was added in error to
the blacklist.

Am I the only person whose blacklist contains 23.23.165.79?  If so, then
I clearly have big problems.  The fact that no one else is reporting
pulledpork failures indicates that this might be the case, although it
could also indicate that few open source users are using Snort inline...

Sorry again for the confusion.  23.23.165.79 is included in my
default.blacklist file, which is maintained by pulledpork.

Pulledpork is configured to get the blacklist from labs.snort.org.  Is
that the way it should be configured?

It looks like labs.snort.org is handing the request off to an Amazon
server at the IP address in question.  Is that the way it's supposed
to work?

My apologies.  I can't find the IP address in any backup of the IP
blacklist.  I assumed the address must have been in the blacklist
because of the following alerts in BASE:

Internal IPs and times are obscured.  It appears that neither source
nor destination IPs should have been blacklisted, but BASE reports
them as having been blacklisted by Snort.  The packets were dropped; 
the times and internal IPs correspond to the failed pulledpork jobs.

The problem is that the IP address of the Amazon server from which
PulledPork pulls VRT rules was added by VRT to the default blacklist. 
Any ideas why they might have done this?

"root certificates" sounds like ssl certificates... heartbleed... wanna bet that 
some certificates have been updated during heartbleed remediation and you now 
need to update the certificates your system(s) use...
