Modifysid doesn't modify rules
Hi guys,
I'm trying to modify a rule from "drop" to "alert" action, but for some reason, pulledpork is skipping any configuration in the modifysid.conf file.
my setup: OS: Ubuntu 16.04 Snort version: 2.9.9 Pulledpork version: 0.8.0
Pulledpork config file:
rule_url=https://www.snort.org/downloads/registered/|snortrules-snapshot-2983.tar.gz|OINK-OMITTED
rule_url=https://snort.org/downloads/community/|community-rules.tar.gz|Community

modifysid=/etc/snort/modifysid.conf

version=0.8.0
Modifysid.conf file:
1:20212 "^drop" "alert"
Rule:
drop tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 443 (msg:"SERVER-OTHER SSL CBC encryption mode weakness brute force attempt"; flow:to_server,established,no_stream; isdataat:1; isdataat:!1001; detection_filter:track by_src,count 100,seconds 1; metadata:policy max-detect-ips drop, service ssl; reference:cve,2011-3389; reference:url,attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1110; reference:url,technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2588513; reference:url,technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/MS12-006; reference:url,vnhacker.blogspot.com/2011/09/beast.html; classtype:attempted-recon; sid:20212; rev:11;)
Running pulledpork, basically, it is doing nothing:
/usr/local/bin/pulledpork.pl -c /etc/snort/pulledpork.conf -l

I've tried the below configurations in the modifysid.conf file:
1:20212:11 "^drop" "alert"
1:20212 "^drop" "alert"
1:20212 "drop" "alert"
regex:'20212' "^drop" "alert"
regex:'sid:20212' "^drop" "alert"
Any idea about what is wrong?
Thanks in advance, Kind regards
For the first three, you should remove "1:" so your line in your modifysid.conf looks like this:
20212 "^\s*drop" "alert"
pulledpork assumes a list of "SIDs". I also assume you mean to change drop to alert after you have set all of the other rules to drop, but the pattern is "SID SEARCH REPLACE"
Also, you say you are running 2.9.9.0 (which is EOL), but you are downloading 2.9.8.3 rules. 2.9.9.0 don't exist anymore, so I would suggest that you upgrade your version of Snort & your ruleset.
Thanks for the information provided. I just managed to complete the upgrade from 2.9.9.0 to 2.9.17.1. At the same time, I also pointed pulledpork to the latest snapshot version. I will monitor a couple of days the stability of the IPS, and then I will try adding the line suggested in the modifysid.conf file.
It seems the modifying file is skipped for some reason by Pulledpork even using the suggested rule:

Any idea about what's wrong?
what user is running pulledpork (maybe perms, but probably not an issue)? you have modifysid.conf in your pulledpork.conf from before, but you are using dropsid.conf to set everything to drop, then only changing this one signature to alert?
Run again with -vvv, and see if anything states modifysid.conf is being used. Another test is to remove dropsid.conf, and change the modifysid.conf to go from "alert" to "drop" just to test. This may point to an order of operation issue, where pulledpork is only processing the drops, and not processing the modification.
