Re: Firewall stopping detection?

["Matthew Collins" <Matthew.Collins () northernregistrars co uk>]

Do you have a rule that detects NetBIOS Connections? That is what grc.com checks for. Not a lot of use against Debian 
(unless you are running samba).

I have just install snort from Debian Unstable, and customised the configf
 ile to suit my system. I then went to grc.com and used the probe my portst
 hing, to see if snort would detect it, but I get nothing in the logs. I have 
a firewall using ipchains, which blocks all connections except for stuff 
iniated from inside. How do i get snort to still detect attack attempts 
coming in? Thanks,

David
