Snort service startup in WINXP
Posted by Straifer on November 15, 2005 20:20:32
Hey Geeks,
I have been trying to solve this problem now for a while and still have not found anything usefull. I am currently running, or attempting to, run a snort sensor as a slave on a WinXP SP2 machine with 3.0 WinPcap and Snort 243. I have configured everything I thought was right and am able to start the service only for a few seconds before it stops again.
I have checked the log and am receiving a Errorbuf:
AdaptersName:\Device\NPF_{76D0B063-C227-47C3-985A-6A8CB5871C50} error.
I am at the end of my ropes and am hoping SOMEBODY knows how to fix the problem. Below is my snort.conf file:
#--------------------------------------------------
# http://www.snort.org Snort 2.4.3 config file
# Contact: snort-sigs@lists.sourceforge.net

###################################################
# This file contains a sample snort configuration.
# You can take the following steps to create your own custom configuration:
#
# 1) Set the variables for your network
# 2) Configure preprocessors
# 3) Configure output plugins
# 4) Add any runtime config directives
# 5) Customize your rule set
#
###################################################
# Step #1: Set the network variables:
#
# You must change the following variables to reflect your local network. The
# variable is currently setup for an RFC 1918 address space.
#
# You can specify it explicitly as:
#
# var HOME_NET 192.168.14.101/24
#
# or use global variable $_ADDRESS which will be always
# initialized to IP address and netmask of the network interface which you run
# snort at. Under Windows, this must be specified as
# $(_ADDRESS), such as:
# $(\Device\Packet_{12345678-90AB-CDEF-1234567890AB}_ADDRESS)
#
# var HOME_NET $eth0_ADDRESS
#
# You can specify lists of IP addresses for HOME_NET
# by separating the IPs with commas like this:
#
# var HOME_NET [10.1.1.0/24,192.168.1.0/24]
#
# MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PLACE ANY SPACES IN YOUR LIST!
#
# or you can specify the variable to be any IP address
# like this:
var HOME_NET any
# Set up the external network addresses as well. A good start may be "any"
var EXTERNAL_NET any
# Configure your server lists. This allows snort to only look for attacks to
# systems that have a service up. Why look for HTTP attacks if you are not
# running a web server? This allows quick filtering based on IP addresses
# These configurations MUST follow the same configuration scheme as defined
# above for $HOME_NET.
# List of DNS servers on your network
var DNS_SERVERS $HOME_NET
# List of SMTP servers on your network
var SMTP_SERVERS $HOME_NET
# List of web servers on your network
var HTTP_SERVERS $HOME_NET
# List of sql servers on your network
var SQL_SERVERS $HOME_NET
# List of telnet servers on your network
var TELNET_SERVERS $HOME_NET
# List of snmp servers on your network
var SNMP_SERVERS $HOME_NET
# Configure your service ports. This allows snort to look for attacks destined
# to a specific application only on the ports that application runs on. For
# example, if you run a web server on port 8081, set your HTTP_PORTS variable
# like this:
#
# var HTTP_PORTS 8081
#
# Port lists must either be continuous [eg 80:8080], or a single port [eg 80].
# We will adding support for a real list of ports in the future.
# Ports you run web servers on
#
# Please note: [80,8080] does not work.
# If you wish to define multiple HTTP ports,
#
## var HTTP_PORTS 80
## include somefile.rules
## var HTTP_PORTS 8080
## include somefile.rules
var HTTP_PORTS 80
# Ports you want to look for SHELLCODE on.
var SHELLCODE_PORTS !80
# Ports you do oracle attacks on
var ORACLE_PORTS 1521
# other variables
#
# AIM servers. AOL has a habit of adding new AIM servers, so instead of
# modifying the signatures when they do, we add them to this list of servers.
var AIM_SERVERS [64.12.24.0/23,64.12.28.0/23,64.12.161.0/24,64.12.163.0/24,64.12.200.0/24,205.188.3.0/24,205.188.5.0/24,205.188.7.0/24,205.188.9.0/24,205.188.153.0/24,205.188.179.0/24,205.188.248.0/24]
# Path to your rules files (this can be a relative path)
# Note for Windows users: You are advised to make this an absolute path,
# such as: c:\snort\rules
var RULE_PATH c:\win-ids\snort\rules
# Configure the snort decoder
# ============================
#
# Snort's decoder will alert on lots of things such as header
# truncation or options of unusual length or infrequently used tcp options
#
#
# Stop generic decode events:
#
# config disable_decode_alerts
#
# Stop Alerts on experimental TCP options
#
# config disable_tcpopt_experimental_alerts
#
# Stop Alerts on obsolete TCP options
#
# config disable_tcpopt_obsolete_alerts
#
# Stop Alerts on T/TCP alerts
#
# In snort 2.0.1 and above, this only alerts when a TCP option is detected
# that shows T/TCP being actively used on the network. If this is normal
# behavior for your network, disable the next option.
#
# config disable_tcpopt_ttcp_alerts
#
# Stop Alerts on all other TCPOption type events:
#
# config disable_tcpopt_alerts
#
# Stop Alerts on invalid ip options
#
# config disable_ipopt_alerts
# Configure the detection engine
# ===============================
#
# Use a different pattern matcher in case you have a machine with very limited
# resources:
#
# config detection: search-method lowmem
# Configure Inline Resets
# ========================
#
# If running an iptables firewall with snort in InlineMode() we can now
# perform resets via a physical device. We grab the indev from iptables
# and use this for the interface on which to send resets. This config
# option takes an argument for the src mac address you want to use in the
# reset packet. This way the bridge can remain stealthy. If the src mac
# option is not set we use the mac address of the indev device. If we
# don't set this option we will default to sending resets via raw socket,
# which needs an ipaddress to be assigned to the int.
#
# config layer2resets: 00:06:76:DD:5F:E3
###################################################
# Step #2: Configure preprocessors
#
# General configuration for preprocessors is of
# the form
# preprocessor :
# Configure Flow tracking module
# -------------------------------
#
# The Flow tracking module is meant to start unifying the state keeping
# mechanisms of snort into a single place. Right now, only a portscan detector
# is implemented but in the long term, many of the stateful subsystems of
# snort will be migrated over to becoming flow plugins. This must be enabled
# for flow-portscan to work correctly.
#
# See README.flow for additional information
#
preprocessor flow: stats_interval 0 hash 2
# frag2: IP defragmentation support
# -------------------------------
# This preprocessor performs IP defragmentation. This plugin will also detect
# people launching fragmentation attacks (usually DoS) against hosts. No
# arguments loads the default configuration of the preprocessor, which is a 60
# second timeout and a 4MB fragment buffer.
# The following (comma delimited) options are available for frag2
# timeout [seconds] - sets the number of [seconds] that an unfinished
# fragment will be kept around waiting for completion,
# if this time expires the fragment will be flushed
# memcap [bytes] - limit frag2 memory usage to [number] bytes
# (default: 4194304)
#
# min_ttl [number] - minimum ttl to accept
#
# ttl_limit [number] - difference of ttl to accept without alerting
# will cause false positves with router flap
#
# Frag2 uses Generator ID 113 and uses the following SIDS
# for that GID:
# SID Event description
# ----- -------------------
# 1 Oversized fragment (reassembled frag > 64k bytes)
# 2 Teardrop-type attack
#preprocessor frag2
# frag3: Target-based IP defragmentation
# --------------------------------------
#
# Frag3 is a brand new IP defragmentation preprocessor that is capable of
# performing "target-based" processing of IP fragments. Check out the
# README.frag3 file in the doc directory for more background and configuration
# information.
#
# Frag3 configuration is a two step process, a global initialization phase
# followed by the definition of a set of defragmentation engines.
#
# Global configuration defines the number of fragmented packets that Snort can
# track at the same time and gives you options regarding the memory cap for the
# subsystem or, optionally, allows you to preallocate all the memory for the
# entire frag3 system.
#
# frag3_global options:
# max_frags: Maximum number of frag trackers that may be active at once.
# Default value is 8192.
# memcap: Maximum amount of memory that frag3 may access at any given time.
# Default value is 4MB.
# prealloc_frags: Maximum number of individual fragments that may be processed
# at once. This is instead of the memcap system, uses static
# allocation to increase performance. No default value. Each
# preallocated fragment eats ~1550 bytes.
#
# Target-based behavior is attached to an engine as a "policy" for handling
# overlaps and retransmissions as enumerated in the Paxson paper. There are
# currently five policy types available: "BSD", "BSD-right", "First", "Linux"
# and "Last". Engines can be bound to bound to standard Snort CIDR blocks or
# IP lists.
#
# frag3_engine options:
# timeout: Amount of time a fragmented packet may be active before expiring.
# Default value is 60 seconds.
# ttl_limit: Limit of delta allowable for TTLs of packets in the fragments.
# Based on the initial received fragment TTL.
# min_ttl: Minimum acceptable TTL for a fragment, frags with TTLs below this
# value will be discarded. Default value is 0.
# detect_anomalies: Activates frag3's anomaly detection mechanisms.
# policy: Target-based policy to assign to this engine. Default is BSD.
# bind_to: IP address set to bind this engine to. Default is all hosts.
#
# Frag3 configuration example:
#preprocessor frag3_global: max_frags 65536 prealloc_frags 262144
#preprocessor frag3_engine: policy linux \
# bind_to [10.1.1.12/32,10.1.1.13/32] \
# detect_anomalies
#preprocessor frag3_engine: policy first \
# bind_to 10.2.1.0/24 \
# detect_anomalies
#preprocessor frag3_engine: policy last \
# bind_to 10.3.1.0/24
#preprocessor frag3_engine: policy bsd
preprocessor frag3_global: max_frags 65536
preprocessor frag3_engine: policy first detect_anomalies
# stream4: stateful inspection/stream reassembly for Snort
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Use in concert with the -z [all|est] command line switch to defeat stick/snot
# against TCP rules. Also performs full TCP stream reassembly, stateful
# inspection of TCP streams, etc. Can statefully detect various portscan
# types, fingerprinting, ECN, etc.
# stateful inspection directive
# no arguments loads the defaults (timeout 30, memcap 8388608)
# options (options are comma delimited):
# detect_scans - stream4 will detect stealth portscans and generate alerts
# when it sees them when this option is set
# detect_state_problems - detect TCP state problems, this tends to be very
# noisy because there are a lot of crappy ip stack
# implementations out there
#
# disable_evasion_alerts - turn off the possibly noisy mitigation of
# overlapping sequences.
#
#
# min_ttl [number] - set a minium ttl that snort will accept to
# stream reassembly
#
# ttl_limit [number] - differential of the initial ttl on a session versus
# the normal that someone may be playing games.
# Routing flap may cause lots of false positives.
#
# keepstats [machine|binary] - keep session statistics, add "machine" to
# get them in a flat format for machine reading, add
# "binary" to get them in a unified binary output
# format
# noinspect - turn off stateful inspection only
# timeout [number] - set the session timeout counter to [number] seconds,
# default is 30 seconds
# max_sessions [number] - limit the number of sessions stream4 keeps
# track of
# memcap [number] - limit stream4 memory usage to [number] bytes
# log_flushed_streams - if an event is detected on a stream this option will
# cause all packets that are stored in the stream4
# packet buffers to be flushed to disk. This only
# works when logging in pcap mode!
# server_inspect_limit [bytes] - Byte limit on server side inspection.
#
# Stream4 uses Generator ID 111 and uses the following SIDS
# for that GID:
# SID Event description
# ----- -------------------
# 1 Stealth activity
# 2 Evasive RST packet
# 3 Evasive TCP packet retransmission
# 4 TCP Window violation
# 5 Data on SYN packet
# 6 Stealth scan: full XMAS
# 7 Stealth scan: SYN-ACK-PSH-URG
# 8 Stealth scan: FIN scan
# 9 Stealth scan: NULL scan
# 10 Stealth scan: NMAP XMAS scan
# 11 Stealth scan: Vecna scan
# 12 Stealth scan: NMAP fingerprint scan stateful detect
# 13 Stealth scan: SYN-FIN scan
# 14 TCP forward overlap
preprocessor stream4: disable_evasion_alerts
# tcp stream reassembly directive
# no arguments loads the default configuration
# Only reassemble the client,
# Only reassemble the default list of ports (See below),
# Give alerts for "bad" streams
#
# Available options (comma delimited):
# clientonly - reassemble traffic for the client side of a connection only
# serveronly - reassemble traffic for the server side of a connection only
# both - reassemble both sides of a session
# noalerts - turn off alerts from the stream reassembly stage of stream4
# ports [list] - use the space separated list of ports in [list], "all"
# will turn on reassembly for all ports, "default" will turn
# on reassembly for ports 21, 23, 25, 42, 53, 80, 110,
# 111, 135, 136, 137, 139, 143, 445, 513, 1433, 1521,
# and 3306
# favor_old - favor an old segment (based on sequence number) over a new one.
# This is the default.
# favor_new - favor an new segment (based on sequence number) over an old one.
# flush_behavior [mode] -
# default - use old static flushpoints (default)
# large_window - use new larger static flushpoints
# random - use random flushpoints defined by flush_base,
# flush_seed and flush_range
# flush_base [number] - lowest allowed random flushpoint (512 by default)
# flush_range [number] - number is the space within which random flushpoints
# are generated (default 1213)
# flush_seed [number] - seed for the random number generator, defaults to
# Snort PID + time
#
# Using the default random flushpoints, the smallest flushpoint is 512,
# and the largest is 1725 bytes.

# telnet_decode: Telnet negotiation string normalizer
# ---------------------------------------------------
# This preprocessor "normalizes" telnet negotiation strings from telnet and ftp
# traffic. It works in much the same way as the http_decode preprocessor,
# searching for traffic that breaks up the normal data stream of a protocol and
# replacing it with a normalized representation of that traffic so that the
# "content" pattern matching keyword can work without requiring modifications.
# This preprocessor requires no arguments.
# Portscan uses Generator ID 109 and does not generate any SID currently.
preprocessor telnet_decode
# sfPortscan
# ----------
# Portscan detection module. Detects various types of portscans and
# portsweeps. For more information on detection philosophy, alert types,
# and detailed portscan information, please refer to the README.sfportscan.
#
# -configuration options-
# proto { tcp udp icmp ip all }
# The arguments to the proto option are the types of protocol scans that
# the user wants to detect. Arguments should be separated by spaces and
# not commas.
# scan_type { portscan portsweep decoy_portscan distributed_portscan all }
# The arguments to the scan_type option are the scan types that the
# user wants to detect. Arguments should be separated by spaces and not
# commas.
# sense_level { low|medium|high }
# There is only one argument to this option and it is the level of
# sensitivity in which to detect portscans. The 'low' sensitivity
# detects scans by the common method of looking for response errors, such
# as TCP RSTs or ICMP unreachables. This level requires the least
# tuning. The 'medium' sensitivity level detects portscans and
# filtered portscans (portscans that receive no response). This
# sensitivity level usually requires tuning out scan events from NATed
# IPs, DNS cache servers, etc. The 'high' sensitivity level has
# lower thresholds for portscan detection and a longer time window than
# the 'medium' sensitivity level. Requires more tuning and may be noisy
# on very active networks. However, this sensitivity levels catches the
# most scans.
# memcap { positive integer }
# The maximum number of bytes to allocate for portscan detection. The
# higher this number the more nodes that can be tracked.
# logfile { filename }
# This option specifies the file to log portscan and detailed portscan
# values to. If there is not a leading /, then snort logs to the
# configured log directory. Refer to README.sfportscan for details on
# the logged values in the logfile.
# watch_ip { Snort IP List }
# ignore_scanners { Snort IP List }
# ignore_scanned { Snort IP List }
# These options take a snort IP list as the argument. The 'watch_ip'
# option specifies the IP(s) to watch for portscan. The
# 'ignore_scanners' option specifies the IP(s) to ignore as scanners.
# Note that these hosts are still watched as scanned hosts. The
# 'ignore_scanners' option is used to tune alerts from very active
# hosts such as NAT, nessus hosts, etc. The 'ignore_scanned' option
# specifies the IP(s) to ignore as scanned hosts. Note that these hosts
# are still watched as scanner hosts. The 'ignore_scanned' option is
# used to tune alerts from very active hosts such as syslog servers, etc.

# arpspoof
#----------------------------------------
# Experimental ARP detection code from Jeff Nathan, detects ARP attacks,
# unicast ARP requests, and specific ARP mapping monitoring. To make use of
# this preprocessor you must specify the IP and hardware address of hosts on
# the same layer 2 segment as you. Specify one host IP MAC combo per line.
# Also takes a "-unicast" option to turn on unicast ARP request detection.
# Arpspoof uses Generator ID 112 and uses the following SIDS for that GID:

# Step #3: Configure output plugins
#
# Uncomment and configure the output plugins you decide to use. General
# configuration for output plugins is of the form:
#
# output :
#
# alert_syslog: log alerts to syslog
# ----------------------------------
# Use one or more syslog facilities as arguments. Win32 can also optionally
# specify a particular hostname/port. Under Win32, the default hostname is
# '127.0.0.1', and the default port is 514.
#
# [Unix flavours should use this format...]
# output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
#
# [Win32 can use any of these formats...]
# output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
# output alert_syslog: host=hostname, LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
# output alert_syslog: host=hostname:port, LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
# log_tcpdump: log packets in binary tcpdump format
# -------------------------------------------------
# The only argument is the output file name.
#
# output log_tcpdump: tcpdump.log
output alert_fast: alert.ids
# database: log to a variety of databases
# ---------------------------------------
# See the README.database file for more information about configuring
# and using this plugin.
#
output database: log, mysql, user=***** password=***** dbname=snort host=192.168.14.103 port=3306 sensor_name=matrix
# output database: alert, postgresql, user=snort dbname=snort
# output database: log, odbc, user=snort dbname=snort
# output database: log, mssql, dbname=snort user=snort password=test
# output database: log, oracle, dbname=snort user=snort password=test
# unified: Snort unified binary format alerting and logging
# -------------------------------------------------------------
# The unified output plugin provides two new formats for logging and generating
# alerts from Snort, the "unified" format. The unified format is a straight
# binary format for logging data out of Snort that is designed to be fast and
# efficient. Used with barnyard (the new alert/log processor), most of the
# overhead for logging and alerting to various slow storage mechanisms such as
# databases or the network can now be avoided.
#
# Check out the spo_unified.h file for the data formats.
#
# Two arguments are supported.
# filename - base filename to write to (current time_t is appended)
# limit - maximum size of spool file in MB (default: 128)
#
# output alert_unified: filename snort.alert, limit 128
# output log_unified: filename snort.log, limit 128
# prelude: log to the Prelude Hybrid IDS system
# ---------------------------------------------
#
# profile = Name of the Prelude profile to use (default is snort).
#
# Snort priority to IDMEF severity mappings:
# high < medium < low < info
#
# These are the default mapped from classification.config:
# info = 4
# low = 3
# medium = 2
# high = anything below medium
#
# output alert_prelude
# output alert_prelude: profile=snort-profile-name
# You can optionally define new rule types and associate one or more output
# plugins specifically to that type.
#
# This example will create a type that will log to just tcpdump.
# ruletype suspicious
# {
# type log
# output log_tcpdump: suspicious.log
# }
#
# EXAMPLE RULE FOR SUSPICIOUS RULETYPE:
# suspicious tcp $HOME_NET any -> $HOME_NET 6667 (msg:"Internal IRC Server";)
#
# This example will create a rule type that will log to syslog and a mysql
# database:
# ruletype redalert
# {
# type alert
# output alert_syslog: LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT
# output database: log, mysql, user=snort dbname=snort host=localhost
# }
#
# EXAMPLE RULE FOR REDALERT RULETYPE:
# redalert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 31337 \
# (msg:"Someone is being LEET"; flags:A+;)
#

Try Winpcap 3.1. Does it error out in sniffing mode? snort -i x -dev |

This appears to be a common problem on all Win XP systems that I've observed to date. I have not seen this problem with previous Snort and Win32 versions, and not sure if something has changed in XP or Snort. Event Logs (eg, security and system) indicates the issue involves "Snort service failed to start or did not respond to the start" (event id 7000). Timeout occurs in 30,000 milliseconds (event id 7009). |

Hello everyone,
Perhaps your problem is with how the service was configured. Try running snort from the command line instead of as a service. Be sure to include all relevent information including the conf file, where you want to store the log, and the interface on which you want to listen (found by running snort -W). For example, I start snort from the command line with the following:
snort -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log -i 2
If snort starts successfully from the command line, the problem is with how the service is installed. If it doesn't start, you have some other kind of problem going on. Note the error message and search for help with it.
To correct the service issue, type "snort /service /uninstall" (without the quotes) to remove its current configuration. After it does its thing, type "snort /service /install -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log -i 2" (again, without the quotes) replacing my command line arguments with your arguments that worked before. This configures the service to execute with those arguments when started.
If this corrects your problem, chances are something changed such as your network configuration and the service arguments were not updated.
Good luck. |

Oops, forgot about capitalization. I don't remember if it makes a difference or not, but the arguments /SERVICE /UNINSTALL and /SERVICE/INSTALL may need to be all caps for it to work properly. |
