That might be a good idea -- it all depends upon your environment.
When in doubt, add the IP that belongs to you.

Any IP that you know and trust which might end up in the Received
headers should go into the ignore list.

GBUdb determines the source IP of the message as the first Received IP
it sees that is NOT in the ignore list. This allows for a high degree
of flexibility in message processing pathways - provided you can
identify the IPs involved (which is usually the case).

Hope this helps,

Hello David,

When using snfupd with the new version you can skip the line that
tells SNF to reload.

REM %LicenseID%.exe reload

Most likely the error you received is because there is no executable
named for your license ID. This is ok with the new version. The
snfupd.cmd script was originally written to work with version 2 which
does require "branding" the SNF executable.

The new version of SNF does not require branding. Also, the new
version will very quickly recognize that there is a new rulebase file
and will load it automatically so there is no reason (nor facility) to
notify it about the update.

Hope this helps,

Ok I have most off this working with Imail 8.22

So far this is what I have done

Copied, unpacked RImailSnifferUpdateTools.zip, edited snfupd.cmd and setup
task schedule.

Which generates an from the snfupd.cmd 

C:\SNF>snfupd.cmd
'mylicencekeynotshownhere.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch file.

REM Load new rulebase file.
%LicenseID%.exe reload

So how do I get the SNFserver to update with the latest .snf file.

Hello Sniffer folks,

Please find the latest SNF V2-9 distribution files here:

http://kb.armresearch.com/index.php?title=Message_Sniffer.GettingStarted.Dis
tributions#NEW_SNF_V2-9_Wide_Beta

If you are running a previous version of SNF V2-9, please upgrade as
soon as possible.

The newest version includes some bug fixes. From the change log:

20071017 - SNF2-9b1.5.exe

Added a missing #include directive to the networking.hpp file. The
missing #include was not a factor on Linux and Windows systems but
caused compiler errors on BSD systems.

Corrected a bug in the GBUdb White Range code where any message with a
white range source IP was being forced to the white result code. The
engine now (correctly) only forces the result and records the event when
a black pattern rule was matched and the White Range IP causes that
scan result to be overturned. If the scan result was not a black pattern
match then the original scan result is allowed to pass through.

Corrected a bug in the Header Analysis filter chain module that would
cause the first header in the message to be ignored in some cases.

Corrected an XML log format problem so that  elements are correctly
open ended  or closed (empty)  according to whether they
have subordinate elements.

Adjusted the GBUdb header info format. The order of the Confidence
figure and Probabilty figure is now the same as in the XML log files
(C then P). The confidence and probability figures are now preceeded
with c= and p= respectively so that it's easy to tell which is which.

Thanks!

I see that your SYNC sessions are long (about 1.2 secs), but there are no apparent retries.

I see that between 20 and 30% of your traffic is being truncated by GBUdb, and that most of your traffic comes from new IPs -- so your system is learning most of it's IP reputation data from the cloud. Your system is remembering about 94K IPs.

Spam is about 95% of your traffic -- a little on the high side, but still nominal.

From what I can see everything is running normally.

That will help
Please keep us updated

BTW, we have been on Beta for few days now
Any problems about our system you see from your side ? (besside long sessions)

  Currently the GBX file is in the workspace directory.




  There is no facility (yet) to store it in a different location.




  I will add that option to the list of features to consider.

Hello David,

When do you think the beta version will go to non beta i.e. live.





The short answer is 6-8 weeks. The more comprehensive answer -- read on...

We are slowly building a set of features that we think should be in the production version. All but two of these are minor adjustments. 

One that isn't minor is a  training directive that will be able you to automatically add IPs to your ignore list for mixed sources based on matching text patterns in headers. 

So, for example, if you'd like to drill down to sources coming through yahoo or aol servers without having to identify the IPs for their outbound servers, then  will (in theory) do it for you by matching the reverse DNS portion of your trusted (top) received headers and adding the IP to your ignore list. The effect is to allow a system to see down to the actual source of the message before training GBUdb while using only a few entries to train the engine. Theoretically this will provide a more fine grained approach to dealing with forwarded mailboxes ("the other kind of open relay") and large ISPs that don't control the outbound flow from 0wn3d machines very well. There is much study, trial, and error to be done with this feature but it does look promising so we're going to put it in.

Another nontrivial feature will allow the SNF engine to run properly on big-endian systems (such as G5's) by detecting the big-endian processor at compile time and converting the format of the SNF rulebase each time it is loaded. There is some work to do to verify that the GBUdb code will work in a big-endian environment, but code review so far has not spotted any trouble in that part of the code. Snapshots of the GBUdb data will not be portable to other systems, but they are not intended to be portable anyway - so that is not considered an issue.

The less invasive features include things like:

* Extending the MAX_EVALs limit.
* Log rotation file names may use local (not UTC) time.
* Adjusted default settings for GBUdb (see below).
* Additional telemetry for error and special event tracking.
* Improved persistence for life-time statistics (run time, last save, last condense, etc).
* Others TBD.

I expect the list of "must have features" to grow a tiny bit over the next couple of weeks.

We are not seeing any fault reports on the current beta so I doubt there will be bug fixes at this point.

After we implement the new "must have" features list we will continue in beta for another week or two to ensure that we have not introduced any bugs.

During that time we will build additional documentation.

I think based on this back-of-the-envelope analysis that we are 6-8 weeks from a "production" release.

That said, the current version does appear to be stable in all supported production environments.

We are working on refining the default tuning for the GBUdb section. The current thinking uses the following, extremely conservative tuning that will be included in the next minor release (probably this weekend).

We recommend that all new Beta installations adjust their configuration files to use the following settings for GBUdb Caution and Black ranges. These are also appropriate adjustments for any existing beta users who have not otherwise resolved any GBUdb based false positives due to oversensitivity.

  Yes. This is still a beta.




  All that remains on the current development list is documentation (ongoing)

  So far so good.

So still in Beta right?

Not being a beta tester I'll patiently wait till you go Golden Master.

Just wanted to make sure this was not the GM version






Yes. This is still a beta.

All that remains on the current development list is documentation (ongoing) and some minor feature requests, plus some "mold" (time spent watching for anomalies on a wide variety of systems under a wide variety of conditions).

So far so good.

Hello Sniffer folks,

Please find the latest SNF V2-9 distribution files here:

title=Message_Sniffer.GettingStarted.Distributions#NEW_SNF_V2-9_Wide_B 
eta


If you are running a previous version of SNF V2-9, please upgrade as
soon as possible.

The newest version includes some bug fixes. From the change log:

20071017 - SNF2-9b1.5.exe

Added a missing #include directive to the networking.hpp file. The
missing #include was not a factor on Linux and Windows systems but
caused compiler errors on BSD systems.

Corrected a bug in the GBUdb White Range code where any message with a
white range source IP was being forced to the white result code. The
engine now (correctly) only forces the result and records the event  
when

a black pattern rule was matched and the White Range IP causes that
scan result to be overturned. If the scan result was not a black  
pattern

match then the original scan result is allowed to pass through.

Corrected a bug in the Header Analysis filter chain module that would
cause the first header in the message to be ignored in some cases.

Corrected an XML log format problem so that  elements are  
correctly
open ended  or closed (empty)  according to whether  
they

have subordinate elements.

Adjusted the GBUdb header info format. The order of the Confidence
figure and Probabilty figure is now the same as in the XML log files
(C then P). The confidence and probability figures are now preceeded
with c= and p= respectively so that it's easy to tell which is which.

Thanks!
