All seems to be working now.i can ssh in etc. Now i just need to see if its really doing anything at all.
 
Can Suricata handle requests made by browsers utilizing DoH?

Ahh.... good for you!!!

1. Understanding that I have NO experience with suricata, IIRC you couldn't ssh in after a port scan. You might now try first a scan, then see if you can still ssh in from the same address (The logic would be that a port scan precedes an attack and that subsequent connection attempts from that scanning address are malevolent and to be blocked - logic that may or may not make sense depending on if this is a private access point (e.g. vpn) or public (e.g. https).

If you want to allow port scans first, you can likely edit the rule and change the action from something like "drop" or "block" to "log" or "report" (or comment out the rule entirely).

2. If you're going to "see if its really doing anything at all", how about comparing it's response to an attack with the response of AiProtect to the same attack!?

Wish I had the time to jump into this - maybe next week! Good Luck!!

I tired that. and it still worked. the scan always shows just the 1 port open which is exactly as expected.

I think i need to turn on all of the logging and watch it to see whats up. (not 100% sure what i need to change in the yaml file to do this)

I am expecting to see stuff in the /opt/var/log/suricata/fast.log but that one is empty
the /opt/var/log/suricata/suricata.log has stuff but its really only startup info.

like this

which all seems correct.

(I'm a newbie; Rgnldo needs to confirm this)

The answer is yes - you can confirm the content of dns records (e.g. looking for invalid fields; overflows; etc.)
https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/suricata-5.0.2/rules/dns-keywords.html

Other rules can confirm current encryption standards, certs, etc.

If there is a wonderful new attack/zero-day, there'll likely be an "emerging threat" rule that'll look for it.

This page seems to describe a test:

https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html#installation

Apparently "the signature with ID 2100498 from the ET Open ruleset is written specific for such test cases" and you can trigger it by:

Code: 
curl http://testmyids.com/

PS: I find this an interesting topic, but due to the Corona crisis I work from home and should not experiment too much with my router...

Follow the installation correctly, as posted

I tired that. and it still worked. the scan always shows just the 1 port open which is exactly as expected.

I think i need to turn on all of the logging and watch it to see whats up. (not 100% sure what i need to change in the yaml file to do this)

I am expecting to see stuff in the /opt/var/log/suricata/fast.log but that one is empty
the /opt/var/log/suricata/suricata.log has stuff but its really only startup info.

like this

which all seems correct.

Is correct. You followed the installation guidance correctly.

There are Suricata rules for DNS UDP and TCP.

Suricata is not based on DNS traffic. It is by engine and signed rules.
 
Hi rgnldo

On starting suricata I do not have an /opt/var/log/suricata/suricata.log - I only have stats.log and fast.log -
is this normal - both of those files empty


Resolved - enabled log in suricata.yaml file -

Code:

BTW is it worth enabling the other rules in .yaml file?
Code: 
 # - ciarmy.rules
  # - teste.rules
  # - emerging-worm.rules
  # - tor.rules
  # - emerging-attack_response.rules
  # - emerging-shellcode.rules
  # - emerging-dns.rules
  # - emerging-dos.rules
  # - emerging-exploit.rules
  # - emerging-trojan.rules
  # - emerging-web_client.rules
  # - emerging-web_server.rules

Suricata can also be configured to block outgoing packets right? from simple reading i can set it up to block dns queries for facebook, etc.. Very interesting. I am assuming that all works with this version too?

IDS/IPS.
Study the rules and the classification.config file
 
Well now this makes me want to get a newer router. This and the fact that Merlin said my 3200 is on "life support..."
 
After installing and configuring Suricata, my syslog is flooded with the following:
Code: 
Apr 29 00:16:32 RT-AX88U-xxxx kernel: device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
Apr 29 00:16:32 RT-AX88U-xxxx kernel: protocol 0800 is buggy, dev eth0

Apr 29 00:17:11 RT-AX88U-xxxx kernel: protocol 0800 is buggy, dev eth0
...

ifconfig shows:
Code: 
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr {MAC-ADDRESS}
          inet addr:{WAN-IP}  Bcast:{WAN-BROADCAST} Mask:255.255.252.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING ALLMULTI MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          TX packets:229411 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:531012108 (506.4 MiB)  TX bytes:48786336 (46.5 MiB)

I configured /opt/etc/suricata/suricata.yaml as follows:
Code: 
  address-groups:
    HOME_NET: "[192.168.222.0/24]"
    EXTERNAL_NET: "any"
    DNS_SERVERS: "[192.168.222.1]"

af-packet:
 - interface: eth0

In addition to primary network (192.168.222.0/24), I have OpenVPN and two VLANs configured with their own subnets. Any thoughts on what might be causing the syslog errors and how to resolve?
