Summary: Review Request: fwsnort - Translates Snort rules into equivalent iptables rules https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551857 Summary: Review Request: fwsnort - Translates Snort rules into equivalent iptables rules Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: guillermo.gomez@xxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: notting@xxxxxxxxxx, fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Spec URL: http://gomix.fedorapeople.org/fwsnort/fwsnort.spec SRPM URL: http://gomix.fedorapeople.org/fwsnort/fwsnort-1.0.6-1.fc12.src.rpm Description: fwsnort translates Snort rules into equivalent iptables rules and generates a Bourne shell script that implements the resulting iptables commands. This ruleset allows network traffic that exhibits Snort signatures to be logged and/or dropped by iptables directly without putting any interface into promiscuous mode or queuing packets from kernel to user space. In addition, fwsnort (optionally) uses the IPTables::Parse module to parse the iptables ruleset on the machine to determine which Snort rules are applicable to the specific iptables policy. After all, if iptables is blocking all inbound http traffic from external addresses, it is probably not of much use to try detecting inbound attacks against against tcp/80. By default fwsnort generates iptables rules that log Snort sid's with --log-prefix to klogd where the messages can be analyzed with a log watcher such as logwatch or psad (see http://www.cipherdyne.org/psad). fwsnort relies on the iptables string match module to match Snort content fields in the application portion of ip traffic. Since Snort rules can contain hex data in content fields, fwsnort implements a patch against iptables-1.2.7a which adds a "--hex-string" option which will accept content fields such as "|0d0a5b52504c5d3030320d0a|". fwsnort is able to translate approximately 60% of all rules from the Snort-2.3.3 IDS into equivalent iptables rules. For more information about the translation strategy as well as advantages/disadvantages of the method used by fwsnort to obtain intrusion detection data, see the README included with the fwsnort sources or browse to: http://www.cipherdyne.org/fwsnort/ Also via git at fedorapeople.org -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
