hello Chris ... thank you, i just try to setup linux without a ip adress. Lets see how it works. I am a "newbie" in ids and linux and so it takes a while to get all running.

Hello all I have a general question about setting up a snort sensor systems. When I place the sensor in front of the firewall, it will make this system very vunerable against attacks. Although I would like to analyze the data in realtime. How can i setup such a system without compromising my security issues? Would it make sense to setup a system with snort, firewall,
database
and analyze engine or is it more usefull to transfer the data (and how?)
to
a internal system for analyzing ?
You should have 2 network interfaces. One is in promiscuous mode with no ip on the sensor interface and a management interface that is attached to whereever you will analyze events from. -- Chris Green <cmg () uab edu> To err is human, to moo bovine. _______________________________________________ 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
