As can be seen, pcap isn't an IPS mode, so no better than af_packet, which seems to be a mode which can support IPS, so we should probably stick to that.

I trust your observations. I agree. Check if the br0 interface and the WAN generate kernel errors in the log. If not mistakes, perfect.

I'm using another system. If you want to be able to organize these innovations in your github. I cooperate as much as possible.
There is a script @ttgapers already in progress to help other members of the forum.

I will look to fork in github and share my findings. As I find time and it is summer, it may be slow, but I will share my learning. So far I can get it into IPS mode, and my main traffic works fine. But the guest networks do not.

Your contribution will be of great importance. Feel free. Needing to change the post links to your fork github.

Is it a vlan?

That looks to me like it shares some commonalities with Cake-QoS...perhaps bringing them both closer to being available to amtm, and coherent and co-operative with each other...
If I'm right, that's just wow!

From this link :


From this paper it seems to me that sticking with af-packet is better.




from the suricata docs it seems:



Finally, workers mode is considered the best performance according to the suricata docs.


And it seems that pcap mode needs to be in autofp mode. So, the configuration posted which defaults to worker, isn't the right mode for pcap mode.

I noticed you're reading in the Suricata docs v.5.0.3. Here is the link to Suricata 4.1.8 docs. Not sure if much has changed from version 4.1.8 to version 5.0.3?
 
So, the one question I keep wanting an answer to is does this “Merlin” version of suricata actually have IPS functionality?

Yes!!

And how did you test/confirm it?

Presuming you had to create some custom rules, please share those rules (along with the config)

I think it's not a true IPS solution. It's more like an IDS/IPS Hybrid. See also this link: (posted earlier today by juched).

based on the default config it is IDS not IPS. IPS can be accomplished by using the configuration I posted earlier with copy to parameters. You will see IPS mode in the logs if successful.
I believe I am having iptables issues with my guest network. So if not using a guest network or would be willing to test please do share what you find.

I am testing your latest IPS "config" and I do have a desktop on a guest wifi network. I started a ping from that desktop to 8.8.8.8 and then restarted suricata with your settings. Here is the output of my suricata log. My desktop never lost the ping connection, but I do get an error in the log. The alert shown is my Govee unit that monitors temp/humidity in my outside music room.

Your guest network, are you using YazFi? or just regular guest wifi built into Asus? Do you allow "Intranet access"?

Thank you for trying this. Seems you have a functional IPS system now.

Just the built in guest network and I do not allow intranet access. I did some more test and it seems that cake and suricata do not play well together. If I run either program by itself my speedtest BW is 48/4.5 on my 50/5 service. If I run them together I get 40 /2.6 for results. I even tried starting suricata first then cake and then starting cake first and then suricata. The results were the same.
 
BTW, here is the pertinent part from my config file:

# Linux high speed capture support
af-packet:
- interface: eth0
copy-mode: ips
copy-iface: br0
use-mmap: yes
tpacket-v3: no
- interface: br0
copy-mode: ips
copy-iface: eth0
use-mmap: yes
tpacket-v3: no
# IPS Mode Configuration
# PCAP
pcap:
- interface: auto
checksum-checks: auto
promisc: yes
 
Can someone "decode" what is happening here. Is suricata just alerting on my Govee sensor hub but not deeming it a real threat?

I suspect it may be adequate to add a section for interfaces using wl0.1 and so on

I thought that too, but for IPS mode you need pairs of interfaces for the copy-iface, so eth0->br0 (WAN to LAN) and br0->eth0 (LAN to WAN). As I recall if I added in eth->wl0.1 and wl0.1->eth0, it failed since eth0 is already being copied to br0.

wl0.1 is part of br0, so I think that is ok... the problem I believe is that iptables is blocking wl0.1 to br0... only wl0.1 to eth0 for guest networks.
