RE: [Snort-devel] [Snort-users] portscan2-ignoreports...anyone get it to work???

It would be "nice" if someone would update the snort.conf for the portscan2 preprocessor. This guessing and hunting the newsgroups for information on how to configure the preprocessor is a waste of time.

Two things:

• Move any portscan2-ignore* lines below the inital portscan2 line in snort.conf.
• Use the right format. :)

          preprocessor portscan2-ignoreports-to:
          preprocessor portscan2-ignoreports-from:

Verify that by a simple grep:

  [erek@it]/usr/local/build/cvs/snort/src/preprocessors>grep ignoreport

  spp_portscan2.{c,h}
  spp_portscan2.c: * - added ignoreports
  spp_portscan2.c:                     "portscan2-ignoreports,
  ignoring.\n",
  spp_portscan2.c:                     "portscan2-ignoreports");
  spp_portscan2.c:                 "portscan2-ignoreports directive\n",
  spp_portscan2.c:                 "portscan2-ignoreports\n", file_name,

  file_line);
  spp_portscan2.c: RegisterPreprocessor("portscan2-ignoreports-from",   InitIgnoreFrom);
  spp_portscan2.c: RegisterPreprocessor("portscan2-ignoreports-to",   InitIgnoreTo);

Cheers!
