If you are doing a host: - interrupt the hosts uplink with a hub and plug your snort box in. You could have this all setup on a laptop.
I have tried this but run into problems: - Real hubs are (almost?) impossible to get nowadays. Even the cheapest "hub" is really a switch. If you know where I can find a hub-like network component, then I'll order it right away. - I was able to buy the last real hub from a PC-shop, but it was only 10Mbps and it refused to work with my 100Mb cards and switches. A few nice sniffer componentens are described in the book: "Extrusion Detection: Security Monitoring for Internal Intrusions" but these are not cheap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner: Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your website.
