Re: Config Issue - Suppress Module

Hello,

After deeper investigation we found out that it’s a bug, so please ignore my previous mail.

Thank you for reporting this issue, Snort3 team will take a look and resolve this.

For now your config could be fixed only defining sid:gid of some rule for each line:
suppress =

{

    { gid = X, sid = X, track = 'by_src', ip = 'W.X.Y.Z' },

    { gid = X, sid = X,  track = 'by_dst', ip = 'W.X.Y.Z' },

}

P.S. due to the bug both sid and gid can not be assigned as 0 currently

Regards,
Anna

Hello Fell,


The problem is that suppress can only track 1 option per config.

enum suppress[].track: suppress only matching source or destination addresses { 'by_src' | 'by_dst' }

So you need to select what direction you want to suppress.


Config ex.  https://github.com/snort3/snort3_demo/blob/master/tests/framework/suppress/snort.lua


Hope it will help!

Subject: [Snort-users] Config Issue - Suppress Module

Hello all,



Hope you're going all good.



As a fresh snort user, I am facing issues to set up suppress module trying to suppress a specific IP.




cat /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.lua
[...]

suppress =

{

    { track = 'by_src', ip = 'W.X.Y.Z' },

    { track = 'by_dst', ip = 'W.X.Y.Z' },

}



returns this



ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.lua: threshold object cannot be created from the given parameters

ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.lua: can't close suppress



Snort is happy with a single line...



I am running Snort3 (3.1.73.0) under Ubuntu 22.04.



Can anyone help me ?



Thanks,

All the best.
Fell
