Re: sending netlink message: Connection Refused

Well first off you need to pass both sides of the conversation to
snort otherwise your rules with the established keyword i.e.
essentially every tcp based rule will not fire so you need

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j QUEUE
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -m tcp --sport 80 -j QUEUE

There is nothing stoping you from firing up another instance of snort
that just listens on an interface in IDS mode.

Will

Hi, even strange it is working now. Strange! ip_queue was already loaded.
Can it unload from itself???

owever, I have inside syslog:        Sep 17 11:11:57 nova5 modprobe:
modprobe: Can't locate module iptable_QUEUE

and till now I was unable to see in real SNORT to block any traffic. Is
inside rules a way to know if a rule drop or log or ........

now SNORT is running with:

modprobe ip_queue
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j QUEUE

 snort -c /usr/local/snort/etc/snort.conf -g snort -u snort -X -U -y -s -Q
-D --disable-inline-initialization

I have added         --disable-inline-initialization         so to be sure
(becouse I'm testing on a production machine and not wanting to have strange
results).
Owever even if I run it without          --disable-inline-initialization
    it seems to not block for example P2P traffic. It log it but nothing
else. Is then a way to see packets and QUEUE activity?.

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j QUEUE

send only port 80 traffic to be sniffed from snort inline? and if I would
like to have all traffic sniffed as when snort run in NOT INLINE?.

* I'm really new to snort :D

You must first load the ip_queue module if it is not already loaded.

modprobe ip_queue

Also what user are you running snort as?  You must run as root to
interact with ipqueue

hi, an information.

while working snort 2.8.3 have stopped to log inside syslog.

I have restarted my machine and I have restarted snort many times. It is
inline compiled but not working in inline.

After different tests I have runned it not in DAEMON mode and I got a
        "sending netlink message:              Connection Refused"

why it happened? I have changed nothing ....... or at least I think so. No
other users could have changed anything becouse noone compile or configure
anything there.

Running snort without -Q, not reading from IPTABLES, it has started to
work
again.

What's on??.
