Jeremy, Maybe Mike wants to learn about Snort by analyzing the traffic on his ADSL connection. Paul On 25/03/06, Gaddis, Jeremy L. <jeremy () linuxwiz net> wrote:

I do have a basic set of IDS sigs on the Netscreen but I would like to set up a Snort sensor outside the Firewall to look at unblocked alerts. However, I only have an RJ11 telephone cable to my ADSL port on the Netscreen and no where to plug in a Snort sensor. I could plug it in on the inside but I miss a lot of the traffic already dropped. I know that some SOHO Firewalls like the Linksys ones let you run Snort on the box itself but this isn't an option for me. Could anyone suggest a feasible solution?I've seen people do similar things before, but I can never understand why. Why do you care about everything that's being blocked? I have enough to worry about watching the IDS for things that *DO* make it inside the firewall, without worrying about all the crud that gets dropped. -j -- Jeremy L.
