I have been running IPS inline. Recently added the snort VRT rules. How do you guys test to see if the IPS is blocking rules? I do not see anything in my alerts except the country blocking rules I have setup.
-
I have tried http://www.wicar.org/test-malware.html and tested CVE-2014-6332. These rules are enabled under emerging-exploit.rules and I do not see the alerts at all.
-
the opnsense test ruleset includes EICAR. If IPS is enabled on your LAN (not WAN), it should block the download.
-
That worked. Blocked. So why is the exploit rules for CVE-2014-6332 not blocking when they are enabled?
-
Maybe you have not downloaded them or the rule does not match. Can't tell you from here.
-
It downloads because my local virus scanner finds it on desktop. So it's passing firewall.
-
You need to tell us more about your setup, specifically your WAN and LAN subnets and how you configured HOME_NET in the intrusion detection (if any).
