Re: [Snort-users] Ignoring Alerts

BPF filters are definitely more efficient for the Snort engine than pass rules.  Do you not want to use BPF filters?

Hi Folks,

 

I'm trying to ignore alerts from some hosts using Pass Rules. I put in my snort.conf:

pass tcp [10.1.1.0/24,192.168.1.0/24] any -> any any

 

I repeated this for icmp, udp and ip, I run Snort with "-o" option to change test order for pass|alert|log, but unfortunately this is not working.

 

When I use BPF Filter works well: snort... not host...

 

My Snort is 2.6.1.3 running on a Debian system.

 

Any ideas?

 

Regards,

Alex
