Hi,

I have been considering running snort on the reverse proxy to further filter requests to the database web server. Unfortunately, for the time being, I have no other hardware to install snort elsewhere. Apache configured as a reverse proxy is the only service on this box. there are no other devices on the reverse proxy network. Can someone advise of the suitability of running snort on the reverse proxy to filter requests?
Snort doesn't filter. Check out http://hogwash.sourceforge.net for snort-based filtering.
What is the preferred database and why (the client has postgres experience and no mysql experience)
In high traffic situations, none. Back when I used to play with snortdb, it was easier to tune mysql than postgres. -- Chris Green <cmg () uab edu> A good pun is its own reword. _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
