Description

Hello,

I have installed suricata IDS in my compute.

The probe works well with init.d (/ usr / bin / suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml --pidfile /var/run/suricata.pid --af-packet -D -vvv) which will read the multiple interfaces defined in the `af-packet` section in the /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml file

but, I have to filter some low-level protocol, like the GRE protocol or the MLPS over UDP, and that I can not.

I did multiple tests but I did not succeed

Sounds like something for a BPF? A filter like 'not proto 47' to ignore GRE. MPLS can probably done in a similar way.

I already try that, but it doesn't work, it just tcp, udp, and icpm protocol work :(((
because, whand I tried gre protocol, the suricata service doest restart and I got I error. :((

Can you show what you tried so far? I have used a gre bpf quite recently, so at least that part should work.

yes,

/etc/init.d/suricata

SURICATA_OPTIONS=" -c $SURCONF --pidfile $PIDFILE $LISTEN_OPTIONS -D -vvv $USER_SWITCH not gre"

Can you try my suggestion from comment #1 above? 'not proto 47'

yes I did that, after search about BPF

--af-packet -D -vvv not (tcp and udp port 47)

I also find, this

l4proto <protocol>
where <protocol> is either a protocol number or a name.

so what is the better between above and below :

not (l4proto gre and mpls)

but above rules, does not work :(

forget my above post,

I try this 'not proto 47', so it is good, now for mpls, I want to filtre mlps above udp protocol any idea ?

because, juste 'not proto 47 and not mpls' it will look at the standard location, above ethernet

Did you find a way? I'm not familiar with how to filter mpls, but bpf may have a way.

Did you try just "mpls" as this is what the bpf manual says, you can also use "not proto gre" for the gre part but number works as well.
