Hey, this is awesome. I am following everything. i have a quick question. how did you connect your mirroring. i know you said it but am confused how you connected the mirror. Thank you.
Hey, nice job. I have a sort question. can you explain here what i should put on the pfsense 3 interfaces ? One is on NAT or something for WAN , second is on LAN (created custom) and the last one is on MIRROR (custom created also) ?
thanks for this! it's really helpful. May I ask on that setup. Do you also configure firewall rules on the pfsense ? Or we can do it on the security onion using IDS/IPS? Thank you! All the best!
Thank you for the video But let me give you my opinion. You did a very long video to explain one single concept but in fact even that single concept was not clearly stated in the video Now from what I sow, it seems that If I created a new interface on pfsense without setting an IP for that interface, it will act as a mirroring port, was that correct? If so, you should say that clearly in the video to avoid confusing the audience, if what I assumed is not right then you did not explain what should be done on pfsesne. Thank you again, those comment just to improve the way you deliver a tutorial
I appreciate your feedback. Seriously, I want to hear more of this. This was a long time ago and I have worked very hard to get straight to the point and make videos short. I will keep improving but please do let me know if you see this in any of my recent videos
@@ITSecurityLabs Hi, did you have to create another interface called OPT2 Bridge 0 (LAN Mirror) that bridges between LAN and the Mirror interface as shown in 5:02
@@ITSecurityLabs Hi, It was a very well done presentation with great precision for the most part but for those of us running VirtualBox what would be the equivalent of a mirror interface? There is no option for mirror when selecting a network interface in VirtualBox.
You need a decent amount of RAM, say 32, Security Onion can be a resource hog, so a decent amount of CPU is desirable, them storage depends on the amount of data that you are ingesting. For me, i have two environments, one is an actual server cluster with 3 Dell Poweredge 720s, running vmware, K8 and Openstack. Thats overkill for most people, but each host has 48GB of RAM. Then i have my desktop, which is the minimum for me, with 24GB of RAM, a decent processor and 1TB SSD. You can get by with less, but i suggest at least 16GB of RAM and a dual core processor will suffice.
@@ITSecurityLabs woooow! thats some serious rig over there!.. i wont get away without spending a grand or more to have that... can you recommend other (light weight N/HIDS) that would be good all in one on a desktop platform. sorry for being unreasonable still practicing here.. had my unit hacked so many times.. and i need to address it quick, can you recommend an approach for my case?
I.T Security Labs will a Ryzen 3600 with 32 GB RAM and 2 Nvme SSDs be able to run this + a domain controller and one or two vulnerable servers? How about zeek, Rita etc?
How do you setup the mirror interface in pfsense?
Nice videos! I enjoy watching and learning a lot from you :) Hopefully I will get time to test this in my own network aswell :) Keep up the good work!
Thanks
can you please tell me how to make the mirror network and the configuration of the span port?
i'm also lookingfor this instruction
@@mariaj9925 Did you guys ever end up figuring that out? I am wondering the same thing right now
@@mariaj9925 here a few years later same question :) HAHA

Yes, you can configure firewall rules on pfsense , as long as you leave your WAN interface on the defaults, you will be fine .
Thank you. Hoping for pfsense tutorial as well
Security Onion host, do the NIC connected to Mirror/SPAN network have an IP address?

Can you explain how to do the mirroring
patrick silwimba I do explain that in the video. Do you have a particular port setting that I did not address ?

sorry to see that those most important tasks in pfsense configurations are missing.....
