Hi,

you're not alone - I was a bit confused, too.

Being curious, I did the following:

Downloaded the newer tarball from here, hoping it would be the right one:
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/guardian-2.0-002.i586.tar.gz

Downloaded the 'dependencies' from here:
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/packages/dependencies/i586/perl-Net-IP-1.26-1.ipfire
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/packages/dependencies/i586/perl-common-sense-3.74-1.ipfire
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/packages/dependencies/i586/perl-inotify2-1.22-1.ipfire

Unpacked the tarball and the three pakfire-archives and got it installed
on my testmachine (offline).

Hint:
Take a 'close* look at the 'user:group'-rights. ;-)

I don't know how Stefan created the 'tarball', but most of the files in
it had 'samba:samba' assignments, even the symlinks (for these I used
'chown -h root:root' ...).

The original archive looks like this:

...
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 16 18:04 web
[root(a)ipfiretest srv]# cd web
[root(a)ipfiretest web]# ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 3 samba samba 4096 Jul  4 11:03 ipfire
[root(a)ipfiretest web]# cd ipfire
[root(a)ipfiretest ipfire]# ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 16 18:04 cgi-bin
[root(a)ipfiretest ipfire]# cd cgi-bin/
[root(a)ipfiretest cgi-bin]# ls -l
total 64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 samba samba 37174 Jul 14 14:51 guardian.cgi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 samba samba 23201 Oct 22  2014 ids.cgi
...

The whole thing is still offline, GUI seems to work, I can start/stop
'guardian' and edit the 'ignore'-list.
But I'd like to hear something like "That was ok, go for it...", before
I put this in production. ;-)

HTH,
Matthias

I saw the same issue and filed a bug report
(https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11146).

When something like this pops up, I generally
https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11146
immediately after the problem shows up; that usually gives some
indication of the problem.

As Matthias says, it is a permissions issue on the configuration file
directory. Either manually create the files (with correct ownership and
permission) or change ownership/permission on the directory. Then, you
have a nice, pretty GUI.

I was able to efficiently block myself from the GUI after that. Since I
don't know anything about how to test Snort, I'm having problems getting
it to block automatically, but that is another issue.

Re: Guardian 2 - Correction

[R. W. Rodolico]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3739 bytes --]

A partial fix would be to run the following bash commands. The reason I
say partial is because I got the permissions from a different firewall
that does not have Guardian installed on it, so it could not determine
the correct permissions for any of those directories.

This was taken from the output of a perl script I threw together. It is
NOT commented (sorry) but pretty straight forward. Simply gets the
permissions and ownership from each directory (and parent directory) out
of an array based on Matthias' research. I did NOT check to verify the
permissions were not already set. The output is simply a list of
commands to set permissions from one machine to the same as the
permissions on another.

The originating script is temporarily stored at
http://unixservertech.com/fixPermissions.pl
That is a web site in progress. Feel free to download and run it on a
machine that has Guardian (after looking at it and making sure I didn't
do something stoopid). No guarantee it won't eat your firewall, but I
ran it on a production machine, then ran the output on my test router
and it appears to have worked.

Thanks for testing and pointing this out.

I've re-packed the latest version and uploaded the new tarballs with
fixed permissions.

hmmm. that is what I tried, but it didn't work. Maybe I need to go get
another oinkcode or something.

Thank you

Re: Guardian 2

[R. W. Rodolico]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6375 bytes --]

Can you give me a clue on how to set up Snort? I got nothing on my
intrusion logs. I "attacked" it from a remote server (all machines are
mine, so I can do that :) and saw nothing. I downloaded some rules from
EmergingThreats.net Community Rules and turned several of them on, but
saw nothing.

I had tried to do te Snort/VRT GPLv2 Community Rules and no rules showed
up. Just tried the SourceFire VRT Rules for registered users and got an
error, and no new rules showed up.

I guess I need to clean this whole thing out and start over, if I can
figure out how to clean out the Snort ruleset.

If anyone can give me a clue on this, I'll be happy to set it up and try
attacking myself.

Selective blocking/unblocking works like a charm.

Hi,

Ok, next.

Am I right assuming that the '2.0-002'-version at
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/ plus
http://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/guardian-2.0/packages/dependencies/ is
the latest!?

Best,
Matthias

Guardian 2

[Daniel Weismüller]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 544 bytes --]

Hi Stevee
I know you are very busy and working hard on the this.
But if you want to release the new Guardian 2 with Core 104 we still 
need to do some work and it must be tested!
So please tell us something about the new guardian2 and the state of 
your work.

Maybe we find more testers here on the list.

Meanwhile I've talked with Michael about the state which I know of the 
guardian2 and we both go confirm that the list of blocked IPs which runs 
in the background isn't a good idea.
Please let us talk by phone about it again.

Hi guys,

even if you have a conversation on the phone, please try keeping us in the loop.

So the key points of what I know:

* A release is targeted for core update 104

* There are a few changes required so that re-blocking a host after it has been
manually unblocked allows this host the configured number of tries again and not
only one.

* Many more testers are required since feedback is really low at this point.

Did I get this right? What is the ETA for a set of patches on the mailing list?

What is the plan to engage more testers?

Best,
-Michael

Tell me what I need to do to test Guardian. I've never installed it,
but I am doing it now.
